Submission

take me to the edge of pain
that drowns the crowding thoughts
and builds my nerves on edge
to break in a cascading rush

draw out the gasps and shudders
turn the wrenching sobs around
in tandem to the breaths I breath
make this pleasure drag unbound

Melt my mind into your body
pour your music in my ears
and drip your scalding magic
on skin that tears so clear

bind these limbs that fought my fears
these wrist scarred with secrets sought
take my omissions into your heart
my body broken for your protection

tie up the world that spins around
all the daily in-consequences
so that once my heart is vulnerable
the walls we built are truly broken

melt this pleasure-pain submissive
into a safe word that shows your care
blend my psyche with forceful dare
but let my soul know your true intentions
