Tenderness

“Pound me” you said
And you know that I can
But that’s not what you need right now

These hands can grab
And pinch
And grasp

But they can soothe
And stoke
And hold
As well

These arms can crush
And force
And bend

But they can support
And lift
And carry
Also

These eyes can glare
And glower
And stare

But they can gaze
And adore
And worship
Too

This cock can pound
And pillage
And smash

But it can fill
And complete
And please
Just as easily

I can be rough,
Any man can,
And sometimes it’s fun,
To play cave man,

But that’s not what you need,
Not what you need right now,
Perhaps you need tenderness,
That you've been missing somehow.
