Slave or Master?

The softest caress I can ever remember,
Scorched my soul like a burning ember,
Bittersweet, addictive taste,
Cannot bear a moment to waste,
Flesh is stinging from your touch,
Never believed I could want this much,
I'm lost within you, and you within me.
We're bound and tied for eternity.
Who is the master? Who is the slave?
Love that was shared, and freely we gave.
Chains that bind that none do see,
Handcuffed heart won't set me free.
So take my flesh, my soul, my heart,
I'd rather die than be apart,
From you my love.


 "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two
bodies."

The softest caress I can ever remember,
Scorched my soul like a burning ember,
Bittersweet, addictive taste,
Cannot bear a moment to waste,
Flesh is stinging from your touch,
Never believed I could want this much,

take care, jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Such passion, such fire, such.....I am speachless. Surely, you must have lived it to capture it so accurately.

Tess, Slave or Master?.... well how can I resist that question. You be the master and I'll be the slave. I'm at your command.

A Wonderful piece. no pun intended.
