Ligature Marks

Brenda, would hate to see an ounce of your fierceness fade, but the piece is awsome.
The contrast between, with same few very strong words of our pieces is razor sharp. I think they are a great pair though. Showing two needs for the same actions and results, Symantecs much different.

I cant say there was not pain and masochism involved with my sub. But i never felt like his bitch, unless i wanted to, and then we would play. I felt freedom and power in it. I pray you find that too. Never wither.

But this is an honest, brave and fierce write, which puts my mind at ease. No fierceness gone that way. And i get the feeling, this is not about a d s relationship at all, but could be wrong.

Love
💌Jennifer

thank you beautiful Jennifer your poem did leave an imprint on my mind lovely lady..
your right in interpreting that this isn't a D/s relationship but rather that of heartbreak
given my masochistic side putting me in the position of taking a verbal beating..
thank you also for the beautiful uplifting comment :)

love Brenda

thank you beautiful one deep sigh I will do my best to let my masochistic side live while letting the other sides of me take a deep breath and step forward..   loving your tongue on my most tender heart:)   with love Brenda

Nice ending and the rawness bites hard. A bite asked for usually hurts the worst. However, some men will never understand their strength and how to use it. Such a pity. Wonderful inking, Dear Crim. Respectfully, blue angel

thank you lovely Angel for your insightful and beautiful comment :)

Dearest Brenda, you are breaking my heart.  You are so beautiful with a beautiful heart that glows past this techno wall.  When I was a teen I had a dream of being bound and gag and someone swinging be over mountains over a deep drop...this dream really scared me.  I realized my voice was being held captive so my friend suggested I write poetry. So I began a beautiful journey, and soon realized I neede to stopp s&m poetry, which isn't my fav. anyway. Now only erotica with maybe a touch of edge. Like stuckinahardplace, masochistic leanings are a part of you, however not the only part...there is so much more...anyone who reads your poetry knows this.   Please don't seek out pain bodily or mind.  Pleasureable torture is one thing but being beaten up is another and Brenda that part is not who you are.  You are a sensitive soul and a survivor.  Brenda you are also crazy brave!   Love, Shana

thank you lovely Shauna for sharing your nightmare with me and what it meant to you..

I think it applies to how I'm feeling now..

playing with fire I got burned but it's the devil in me really..

thank you also for such a great and insightful comment..

with love Brenda

Omfg[less]...You have nailed & spanked emotion here.
This..."my fierceness fading"  ..vs this-  "or I would brand it, make it my bitch" ..shows a joining inside the
heart that can make coexisting of the two[fierce vs lighter side] possible.. but choosing which you lead with
is in *your hands. very exceptional presentation of the struggle, lovelies!

"melancholy feelings    
take hold and choke    
leaving their ligature marks"
~just warmly licking this one- w/dark-sighing *knows.  ;(
Sharp & poignant throughout.. causing heart bruises darlin..*kisskiss to your bare.
healin' hugs & maulins, kindred mine..

lovely d~ thank you for the beautiful comment I prefer to lead with my fierce foot and I know I will again ;)

thank you also for sweet kisses on my bruises warming my heart..

 kisses you like a summer breeze across the distance :)

"My fierceness fading / blowing away like dust / in the wind."  You do seem more reflective lately, which is a good thing.  You're on fire so much of the time that I worry you'll burn out.  Nothing at all wrong with letting your gentler side supply some balance.  "Cruelty my Master / masochistic I asked for a beating / left reeling."  It's a tough call when to take a break and assess the damage, if any.   "I can't cauterize this wound / or I would brand it / make it my bitch."  Cauterizing them might leave you calcified.  You do have a tender side, and a sense of humor as indicated in the last line.  I don't have any marks of quite this nature but I've got some scars.  Maybe we can compare sometime.  This kind of makes me think of the Stones' "Let It Bleed."  Really fine work, Crim!    

thank you Sir Crow for your in depth breakup of my write..

yes you're right my gentler side does emerge from time to time showing my vulnerability..

I have become more reflective lately nothing wrong with balance as you say..

until my ferocity returns i'll let it bleed :)

with love Crim

i read this earlier & decided to let it simmer with some wine while i pondered... the shallows of my glass were wholly inadequate for your depth of emotions, beautiful one...
"masochistic I asked for a beating
left reeling
from your blows
I fell to the floor
curled tight in a ball
cracked ribs
puncture my heart
left internally bleeding"
... this tastes so non-consensual, it's bitter on my tongue [the things we do for love or some pale imitation of it]; no bounds, no limits. we swallow our heart's safeword in the hopes we'll never need it
*
from one painslut to another, i feel this eloquent bleeding
xoxox

thank you beautiful Katja for showing me love on this write..

though the masochist in me did ask for the verbal lashing I got..

it still hurts though and my heart feels like it's bleeding out the pain..

love Brenda

This Bleeding is Raw and Intense Brenda.

It's a kind of Absolving ability of Ours to be
able to write these Emotions out, (especially the
                                                     ones that Scars  
                                                            cover).

"my fierceness fading    
blowing away like dust    
on the wind,"  

I understand where You're coming from
here but at the same time it shows Your
Buoyancy, Resilience and Strength.

Your next Contribution will be an full on
Onslaught that will leave Us all Reeling.

  Namaste & Respect... Dantalian  
                                             

thank you Dantalian for your insightful and great comments..

I hope to come out swinging next time ;)

Whoa, it feels like u ripped out my vocal chords becuz now I'm speechless! smh... So darkly sad...

Everyone already said what I wanted to say so I'll just say grrrrreat write Love read you

thank you kindly Sir with love Crim :)

*sigh* Yet another piece that strikes the heart so close to home.

I totally understand what it is to know you're going into things begging to be hurt, and yet doing it anyway...

I love the end, it's chuckle-worthy :) Takes a piece that was so sad and a bit like homespun hopelessness, and turns it back around, showing your fierceness isn't completely gone. Perhaps just a bit impotent in your discontent.

thank you for your understanding lovely lady yes feeling impotent in my discontent is a perfect assessment..

with love Crim

Brenda, your fierce veracity is unmatched.. brilliant write.. with love..


Dave
