The Price Of Submission

we all recognise, don't we this
the source of utter pleasure
the integral ecstasy that's drawn
from the Hand that wields the Power
our bodies are well-nourished
we are even presented with wings
and for a time we soar up and beyond
we revel in the lash and the sting
there's nothing like it in this world
it's such an exquisite sensation
to be able to fly, to be led into space
to be offered ultimate gratification
submission is not a gift to unwrap
it's not a toy to play with or use
it's an act of being, it's a consummate trait
it does not give Him license to abuse
and what of the Man who accepts
this invitation from a human soul
the absolute Power that is offered
the presentation of total control
will He ever really comprehend
the depth from which it stems
will He understand the source of it
and resist misuse of a precious gem
a fine line of distinction exists
between play and personal attachment
and please God deliver the sub
who controls her very own Dominant
this is not a game for the authentic
and there are no lines to be read
it's honest, it's pure, it's genuine
so provide all or risk being led
hurt me, but don't hurt me
and accept my love for it's real
i opened my eyes and extended to You
what it was that i needed to heal
You permeated the timbre of my mind
and You demanded the use of my body
You had to have known that my heart and my soul
encompassed all it embodied
the price of submission is high
it's a gamble, a risk, it's a lure
in this life there is no guarantee
but from my heart drips blood that is pure.
