Below Stairs

You asked me once if I knew your name, I could not answer, we were not the same.

You had choice and you had reason and if I hoped for more it would only be treason.

For I was born to serve the world and you were born to rule unfurled.

To me there was no name to share, no binding cord to show you care.

The pain you craved was hidden deep, behind stone walls and protected keep,

Yet you came to me and shared your soul, I gave you freedom, I gave you all.

I bared my body to feed your lust, it was my place and to survive I must,

When I wept in pain you drank my tears, until pure joy replaced the fears.

I’m bound and tied, I cannot flee, and still I yearn for what will be.

I await your feel and crave your touch and soon the ache becomes too much.

You tease my skin with dark and light, the lash of leather and feathered slight.

The reddened marks they fuel your fire and still you soar and reach for higher.

You trace your tongue across my flesh, from ear to throat and then refresh,

You squeeze and tease a hardened tip, the trembling throes of passions grip.

Your tongue moves lower across pale skin and I strain against this mortal sin,

Yet how could we reject this force that ties us blindly in its course.

You untie my bounds and leave to go, you say no words but your eyes they show,

That this is all there will ever be, that you are the master and the servant, me.

And as I taste a salted tear, I tend the seed of your essence left here.

I’ll love and protect and cherish and care. Will you ever know the child I shall bare?
