Clear and Enthusiastic Consent

Some people think too much talking kills the mood 
but what is more romantic than declaring one’s desires? 
What feeds carnal hunger more than those passion-laden words 
“Do you want me, right here, in this moment?” 
and hearing not only the thrilling affirmation of yes 
but also of course, absolutely, I can hardly wait 
because there is nothing I’d rather do 
  
What greater satisfaction is there but knowing 
that of all the wonders of the world they could seek, 
they chose to explore this single strange collection 
of skin, bone, blood, and soul? 
Of all the deeds that could fill their fleeting time on Earth, 
they chose to lie alone beside you in a four-wall room 
and bless your lips with their love
