She is His
she has given herself for the taking
given him her lust
her body
her heart

But not her soul
lest he should own her

this piece she holds
shadowed
distant
safe

lest the bonds become such
they cannot be broken
but she is broken

a slave to his whim

s.a.t.


Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

There I find an inner strength. Nicely written.

If you're not yourself, then there is no you.

That is the key, you know -- the giving of soul finalizes it...and it is an exchange, not a one-way gift, unless one of them is too selfish ever to know true love.

Well done Susan...the soul never is given
unless the spirit is broken...only then.
I doubt your own shall ever be broken.  For
the tools reign...

We all know the feeling of how sometimes we can give all, yet there's a little part of us that we keep deep within. We can't share it, lest it is snatched away and we'll lose it forever.

Thanks for sharing this Susan. I enjoyed the read.

It is a matter of trust, perhaps, the giving of one's soul.  A feeling of complete confidence in someone.  It is a rare and most precious gift when found, a person to whom you may gift all of yourself.  And a great risk, for much is put in peril.  It is a form of self protection then, to hold that last piece of self back.  And sometimes of self preservation.  This is what I try to convey.  And yes, it is sad, this, that we fear --

Thanks for reading and for your kind comments.  They are so greatly appreciated.
