The Wanting In Our Caress

In my arms
she felt good.
I knew she would.
Too soon to suit
my pleasure,
I had to
let her go.
And now my hands
miss the silkiness
of her flesh,
and I find myself
wanting the softness
of her caress.
Still, we must
take only one
step at a time.
For I want her
to want me
as much as I
want her.
Any less, could
spoil the wanting
in our caress.

Sometimes letting go of what we want is the way we're given what we need. Nice poem.

Dear James, I think you know the "right times" to savour love.
