Like Water Flowing Downstream

I tried so hard
to please my lover,
perhaps too hard.
Oh I don't mean sensually,
I mean caring for her
and being concerned
for her welfare,
and now by necessity
I change my strategy
to not trying so hard,
letting nature follow
its natural course,
like water flowing
down stream.

Dear James, your inner beauty always comes through in your beautiful poems, just like in this one. Your sensitivity, your wisdom, offered in small poetic morsels, are delightful.

Trying too hard indeed may have the opposite effect of the one we pursue.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

It's hard to find the balance between caring for someone new and being pushy... letting things flow naturally sounds like a good plan! *S*
