Many times in my life I have tried to describe what I want...what I need. More times than I can count I have made an effort here on my blog to say and show how I feel and what I want in a D/s relationship. I guess, really, it's more of what I ultimately need in a D/s relationship. I have tried to describe my approach and belief as a Dominant...how I see things, what I want in a submissive, what they can expect of me, etc...
Every D/s relationship involves a tremendous amount of trust. A Dom expects and needs it from his submissive, and a submissive needs to be able to trust her Dom with all she has. This doesn't just happen overnight. Trust is built over time. It is gained through actions that back up words. It is gained by both people by being able to see that you mean what you say. That you will actually do what you say you will do.
I was on the website The Iron Gate yesterday browsing around. I came across this poem, and as I read it I found it to be very powerful. It moved me emotionally. The more I read, the more it affected me. I can't tell you how many times I read it, but it was quite a few. Soaking in more and more of what the poem said with each reading. The more I read the poem, the more I saw myself in it. So much so that I could have easily written it myself. I think what affected me the most is this poem said everything I think...everything I feel...and everything I don't seem to be able to find the words to express.
Here is the poem...
Trust Me with your heart.
Place it in My hands,
To crush or caress.
Trust that I will not hurt you.
Give it to Me because you desire Me to possess it,
Not because it is My will.
Trust Me with your mind.
Place it in My hands, also,
To destroy or reshape.
Trust Me to mold it according to your needs
Not simply to suit My own purposes.
Trust Me with your body.
It too, place in My hands.
Mine, to batter or protect.
Trust Me to keep you safe
And to provide for you that which is needed
to ensure your happiness.
Trust Me with your very soul.
Place it in My hands, as well.
Lay it bare before Me, vulnerable to My will.
Trust that I will guide you safely through the darkness
protecting your interests at all times,
regardless of My desires.
Above all, trust Me with your complete and total surrender.
Trust that I will honor and cherish
your submission to Me.
Trust that I will not abuse this gift
That you so lovingly give to Me.
