Strong Hands

I want strong hands

Clasp mine and pull me up
Catch me when I fall
Fix what is broken
Not because I need it
But because they can
Solid. Steady. Sure.

I want gentle hands

Like down against my skin
A caress upon my neck
Lightly tangled up in mine
Not because they are incapable of more
But because they can
A tickle. A caress. A sigh.

Lead me, I will follow
Lean into me, I will carry you

Relentless, unyielding man
Shy, sweet boy
