Gorgon cognitions
Like a reverse Medusa
I turn myself
to stone when
I see the eyes
of someone
who wants
more
than I can
give.
I can't seem to
find enough
to lay at your feet.
I can't seem
to harden any
part of myself
under your gaze.

You fucking see EVERYTHING. It’s astounding, really. I put it out with the intention to say that, and you totally see it, and YAS!
“Your words explore the delicate balance between desire and self-preservation, and the struggle to find a way to reconcile the two…”
“Yet, at the same time, you strive to remain open and vulnerable,”
Stellar review, truly. You are amazing
Light and love to you.

Great write. Many times I've tried to turn myself to stone. And then someone comes along and seizes our ability to.
It was hard, soft & vulnerable.

I guess the beauty of Medusa is that she was fierce because that’s what they made her, and that vulnerability ultimately became her power.
The sheer beauty in that fury. It’s art.

Yes! That is what they made her. And there is absolutely fury in the inability to do as made.
Thank you Morbs

WHAT! It let me R/L someone!
Your writes are evolving. Or, you've revisited some things that stir you so much that you can't stop the release. And please, don't stop it. This is incredible. The ache of being secretly brittle (stone is a facade) doesn't take away from your power to control the compelled.
Damn you, for being so good at slaying poetic dragons.

Yas! Happy dance! The R/L gods have smiled!
Oh shit man. Evolving?!? But it’s all just cock-clit-cunt-rage-my-balls-are-bigger… THERE’S MORE?!?!?
What?!?
I won’t do it! (foot stomp) I won’t! I won’t evolve!
Ok. Maybe.
Ok, fine.
Thank you dear friend. I appreciate you.
PS- Way back last summer you flattered the shit out of me by telling me my delicate side was unexpected, and beautiful. Since I’m better at blunt force, that was really cool praise. It still is.

You aren't THAT intimidating, even with a shotgun.
And, I was right back then. I calls it the way I sees it, ma'am.

Take it back. I’m intimidating as fuckall!
Thank you. It’s sweeter the second time. I appreciate you.

Ugh love this
It bears the essence of the art of submission
To submit is to be in control.

Mm. Absolutely. Relinquishing the fight to someone. Giving in. Letting go.
But that leaves the question. Is it better to give control? Or receive?
Which do you prefer?

Submission is my game Betty, it can be quite an honor to submit to a Dom when the Dom knows the rules of the game

I'm probably a bit more literal about what I read, but the last lines seem to speak of someone who feels an inability to sexually 'switch on' when someone makes desiring eyes at them:
I can't seem
to harden any
part of myself
under your gaze.
On the other hand it could be read that those same desiring looks, instead of putting you on defensive mode, melt away your inner defences.

Thank you…. It’s more of the latter.
As much as I want to turn to stone, become invulnerable to someone… I can’t. I stay vulnerable.
It’s almost a lamentation to realize this.
