Valentine

emptiness aches inside me
you fill my void but I long to touch you
be part of your world
but I worry I wouldn't fit

escape the sorrow with a smile
when you shine on me I beam
a special man, a cut above the rest
you are a man of destiny

I feel blessed you noticed me
out of the crowd you chose me
Sadistic by nature I needed you
a masochist with no master running wild
you set the perimeters of our relationship diligently

I push the boundaries
you stand firm
disciplined, I respect that
I hurt in the moments I bring your displeasure
I want to please

I bring my gifts to my heart's alter
offering them up for your approval
little things like my blush
you bring out innocence in me
and penetrate me with your resolve
I shyly open to you

I can't resist your style
masculinity forged in steel
you cut me so beautifully
my soul flavored in pain

is so very lovely in love
from me to you
Happy Valentine's Day
