CAUTIOUS!

Just like a kid

Savoring the candy

Taking my time to enjoy it

Taking my time to taste it

Savoring every time I suck it

Trying to figure out the different flavors

I don’t want to spoil it.

Like the yesterday, today and tomorrow

I pick the petals

Are you it?

Are you not?

Are you it?

Are you not?

I play the game.

Slowly I touch you

Carefully I read you

Not letting myself get ahead of things

Every phrase you utter

I have wanted it

Every question you ask

I have asked why I wasn’t asked

Every touch

I have craved for it

It’s like

It’s almost

Sigh!

Pain holds me

Desire wants out

The mind says hold on

The heart says let go

I have met many

Loved many

Are you the mirror?
