it is a matter
of the stockholm syndrome
does he hold me hostage
or I him?

I am stripped of beliefs    
bound by illusion  
or reality  
it is a matter of searching
finding
knocking
opening

when I open
I always find his face
and  
he finds
mine

in his eyes I stand posed    
looking over my shoulder  
asking  permission
like this?  
or like this?
what pleases you?

still I know  
he is not pleased  
until I am

who looks over whose shoulder?

this is not a matter of chance
or choice
this is a matter of necessity
of delight
of tabula rasa
scraped clean
written on again
ignorant of original sin
blissful  
in capture

yet the heart asks
who writes?

it is only a matter of
standing
and asking
like this?
does this please you?

It is amazing the lengths we will go to to please others, and often in knowing that we have pleased others, it brings much pleasure to ourselves.   Your posing questions pleased me very much Kate!! Much enjoyed this.  HUGS sweet, soft lady.

and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

You go very deeply into psychological research here and you do it with your unique style, highly appreciated.

Though it might actually be a matter of choice in the end, probably we lack the consciousness of it.

Love,

Stranger darlin’  
find a nail for your panama  
set a spell
never know what’s gonna happen
thank you

gentle Donna  
thank you for your kind words  
hugs back to you

ahhh dear Margherita  
you are so right  
perhaps in love’s clutches  
we prefer to think we have no choice  
makes it easier to give up control...
love Kate

Sir Sy

Chris
I’m sure it is a little like this
and a little like that...  
hugs to you

He clears his throat repeatedly, wipes the
sweat from his brow and mutters "mercy"
under his breath...

Beautiful summation with 'love' being in the last four words. "does this please you?" Yes... very much.
