Permission
Permission
No, I am not just a body of flesh,
I am also a sea of emotions
With a heart full of feelings.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because I smiled at you
Or had a drink or two with you.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because we circled a holy fire
Bedecked with flowers.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because you placed a ring on my finger
Under a canopy of flowers with bells ringing.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because I share your surname
I am not your property you hold a claim.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because you slipped a ring on my finger
Only to reduce me to the state of a beggar.
No, you cannot touch me
Just because I call you husband
I am not doing your special services, you need my permission.
