Break Your Fall

I sometimes wonder

What making love to you

Might feel like

I sense that you would be

Tender and gentle

That you would be afraid

To place the full weight

Of your body on mine

For fear of harming me

That you would tend to be careful

Supporting yourself on arms and knees

Sheltering me beneath you

As you kiss and caress me softly

But I am stronger than you

Might imagine

I would have you lay

The whole of yourself on me

Blanket me

While I hold you close

And kiss you forcefully

Let the strength of my desire

Support you

And when you are ready

Allow yourself to let go

I will break your fall
