Caught in the Headlights

I touched her silken hair with yearning fingers.

My heart knew instinctively that our future

was in my hands as I caressed her skin

trying not to frighten her away like a timid deer.

Caught in the headlights of my need for her

I wanted to entwine my body into hers.

Holding back because I didn’t want to frighten

her away with my burnt offerings of ardor.

Slowly I began the passionate dance of love

covered her full moist lips with my own

tasting her essence and wanting to dive in.

Taking my time until her moistness

signaled her readiness to begin our future

I gently tasted her breasts with my tongue.

Take your time, I whispered silently to myself

cherish and nourish her with tenderness

Cocoon her in your arms and stroke her soul

bide your time until her bud blossoms.

I could see the angst of her past slowly recede

as I sensed that she was now opening up

a rose that had been hidden and abused

Her center was exposed and ripe to my touch.

We embarked on new beginning together

sensuality naked and exposed to life.
