Clearly marked and bound each loop surrounds
her with the Master’s love. She is forever helpless:
ropes provide order and concrete delineation, give
form to feelings that ran at her in stormy waves.
He takes pride in his art work, her training most of all.
The way she grew stronger with every knot, more
able to withstand a tighter binding, happier with each
loop that assured her she was totally in her Master’s
hands. He studied her spine knowing how it bent for him.
She knew he would use her at a whim, but knew
it was her blessing. She could only be all he wanted.
It gave her a fire where, before He took her, none
had been. She was a student of his device. Ropes,
chains, manacles and leash, each a reward for obedience.
His greatest gift was holding her worthy of owning.

I love the detail of you, specifically, He studied her spine knowing how it bent for him. I read this poem with a slow deliberation, some things just take a lot of time, but the rewards can be quite liberating. I love it. Great stuff.

I could go on at great length about the co-dependency in the relationship. I could talk about the power and control. All of those are academic head trips.
In this poem, because of the picture prompt, I let the details tell the story. I tried to let it show itself. Most masters are phony, they are expressing the childishness and ego centrism. They are like fat kids with chocolate covered lips coveting another chocolate bar. They don't see. I am foolish enough to think I do. I got another one that approaches some of the same thinking from another angle. I will dig it up.
Love, Tom B.

We all have many sides, many desires. We walk one in the clear light but are often followed by the shadows of the other.
Love Tom B.

I think it is important to be kind and thoughtful and considerate, to share value and create more where possible. What else can I say.

Wonderful
Thank you for this truly beautiful write. You have captured the essence of the Master's role - to build His slave.
I particularly loved this line, 'He studied her spine knowing how it bent for him.' The Master certainly does have to know the slave very well, in order to know where her weaknesses are and then have the wisdom to know how to correct them. But most of all, a Master MUST appreciate the enormity of the gift that the slave have given Him and how much she has adjusted/changed in order to meet his needs and desires.
There is really so much depth to this piece, that I know I have only managed to touch the surface of a couple of points. Your slave is certainly a blessed women - you are a Master with empathy and integrity, and I believe that you are blessed with having her as your slave - as you said 'she is worthy of your ownership'!
Thank you again.
I look forward to more of your work. I have been away from AP for the past year, so have a lot of catching up to do. I am thrilled to have discovered your work!
Love
Moira.

I must of hit the right nerve for even people who would not admit any understanding respond to this one. You will rarely see the ones on this topic. They are around and I have found a few looking call out to me just from reading my regular one. I never diminish any one. Ask any who would call me Master.
Love Tom B.

Well done Tom.

Thanks.

Beautiful!!!
Quite a read, exciting and so full of lusty thoughts and ideas. The mentioning of the Master and the way he looks at her bent spine is just so vivid and passionate. Hmm I think I know why this one's gonna win!!! Well done!!!
~Much respect and luv

Thank you. It is never more than a symbol, a manisfestation of reality.

here are bunnies for you

Thank you. You are generous.

What a wonderful Master,
to show her His love
with each knot that He ties.
The other things as rewards for
her obedience, that is true faith
and love that adds strength to
both, Him for owning her, and her
for being worthy to be own by Him.
I wish you the best of luck in
this contest.
*bows to one that understands*

You recognize that tenderness is no mask. The one who is truly gentle guides without anger and ensures the safety of the lambs under his care.

OMG!!!
The bounds of love!...Chains of reaction...feelings of life's stormy waves...complete surrender to ones needs and taking without greed...So dependent on another!...Master Poet has spoken
...Thank you for sharing with me
-
I am struck by what Wilhelm Reich said about the Yoga Masters... "They breathe like healthy people, but because this breathing is learned through discipline, and not the natural expression of life, they are just immitating health, not experiencing it." I think the same applies to ecstasy through discipline... it is only immitating intimacy, not expressing it. The poem is well written and full of subtle emotion.
I give it three bunnies.

Oh my....
-
-
wow. different. sad in its own way. intriguing. definetely NOT "pretty" lol
-
I see the ropes as symbolic of a very masterful mans love and desires; a need to captivate purity. Sort of a collector of art portraying his love for beauty as a glorious art form. Your words have filled my head with these thoughts; I just hope am on key....its what your words and the picture makes me feel deliciously. write on my friend......novy

We all try to understand strength, safety and bounds that bind us emotionally and pyschicly to someone. Some require more material symbols so they can break their walls and discover their feelings. You must travel your own path and see where your adventure leads.
Love, Tom B.

"Ropes,
chains, manacles and leash, each a reward for obedience.
His greatest gift was holding her worthy of owning. "
No true words could be spoken about this.
-

I assume you mean truer words. I see you understand. The material things only symbols made manifest. Hard it is to live in a universe that does not see. Love, Tom B.
-
-
yes i meant truer. and i completely understand. a lot of things go unseen and to the world where things are not quite understood in others eyes. *bows head* nice work Sir.
