After she had warmed me up, she told me that she was going to give me five more stripes with her singletail - starting on the right and moving to the left, each one stronger that the last.  This was the result.   


Kneeling here,
Feeding your hunger.
White hot flames
Etching my back,
Searing my soul.
You promised "Five",
Each one stronger.
You've given four.


Kneeling here,
Feeling your joy,
Giving it back.
Held only by
Invisible steel
Of your will
And knotted web
Of my submission.


Kneeling here,
Feeding your lust.
Waiting for five,
My fear mixed
With surrender.
Freely consenting,
Offering my back,
Opening my heart.


Kneeling here,
Feeling your love.
Wanting to please,
To accept your gift.
Fearing the pain.
Craving connection,
Intimacy, You.
Offering my self.
