Artwork Description
While her body bursts with sensuality
While she craves not one but multiple touches on her skin
When the lava of youth yearns to spring like a flower
While her idea of beauty, herself, begins to flourish within
She doesn’t understand the first touch of a man
She accepts meekly, not knowing if this touch was ever wanted or not.
With each touch, her confusion increases, but still has hope
that the touch she felt, deep down in her womanhood was love.
