An excerpt of something that I wanted to hear comments on:

She cupped his head delicately in her hands as she peered deeply into his eyes.

"What is it treasured one?"  the Master whispered.

She tried to look away, but could not.  Trembling she replied, "I have never looked into the face of perversion long enough, to see the soul behind it."

His eyes flashed with lascivious anger until he felt the tear... and saw the soft glow of her smile.  His gaze grew intense.  "What do you see?"

"I see your heart... my mind..... given and received... togther one... One soul ablaze."

WOW.  To  see and feel something that intense must be amazing.



GreedyTop -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/25/2008 6:51:04 PM)

I cant even imagine that..,

*sighs*

Sounds like something I'd read in a BDSM romance novel. Sexy, beautiful, entirely poetic and not to be taken too seriously. I love poetry, I love using words to bring the everyday to a higher plane of existence to express something, but it's important that we remember to retranslate it out of this high speech and back into the everyday.

I agree.  I also believe in taking what wisdom or truth we can away with us and applying it appropriately.

I couldn't agree more. It's important for context that we compare such experiences with other experiences.

But while achieving understanding is important, nothing wrong with taking a moment to seriously reflect on and appreciate the intensity of the emotion being communicated via the flowery words.

It's a bit of a shame when the threads presenting poems turn to cynical mockery of the words themselves. People get too caught up in the surface and miss out on what's really important. The experience itself that is being expressed.

I'm not advocating admissions of hearts of slaves and gifts of submission in our educational discussions, but hey..time and a place for everything.



Leatherist -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/25/2008 7:18:04 PM)

That went right over my head.

Shrugs,but I'm a reptile anyhow.



lovingpet -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/25/2008 7:52:02 PM)

Thanks for understanding at least partially why I posted this.  I did not intend it for wank fodder (but by all means.... Hehe).  I had hoped it would make for interesting conversation about the relationship itself and the various ideas it may be addressing.  I am glad some are moved by the piece as well! 

Smiles,
lovingpet



chamberqueen -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/25/2008 9:22:19 PM)

I found it a bit confusing.  Whose tear did he feel?  Is there such a thing as lascivious anger?  And if so, would a moment like that truly bring it about?  I don't see a heart for a mind as a fair exchange.

It is definitely prose that makes one stop and think, and wonder about one's own relationship, but too much rang false.  If I see a man with a lascivious look I never tie it in with either the heart or the mind, but with the little guy which seems to overrule both.



LuckyAlbatross -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/25/2008 10:17:45 PM)

And the difference between that and vanilla relationships is what?  I didn't see any.



eyesopened -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/26/2008 2:49:30 AM)

Thank you for posting this. 

It's like seeing a rainbow, which is a fiction of light, it doesn't really exist.  A trick of light when water droplets act like a prism.  But what does it hurt to gaze upon a rainbow and feel a feeling of hope and promise?

This snippet of prose moved you and you dared to share it.  While my home is in a shambles of moving boxes, packing materials, toil and stress, it was nice to read a rainbow.  Thanks.

This reminded me of a Heather Alexander song... Something Dark http://www.heatherlands.com/mpaudio/LifesFlame/Something%20Dark.mp3 

quote:

By suns, the audacity
To seize me for your own
And drag me off to hills unknown
As part of your prize

Yet when I meet your stare
I feel something there
Oh, no, I will not go with you
But pray tell me why
I must gaze in your eye
Tell me what do I hope to see?
Something dark calls to me

You *really* don't want to know what my comments on that particular piece of writing are, trust me.

Well, shoot....I don't know about the others, but that makes me really want to know!

Now I really really want to know!

Hehe Forbidden fruit syndrome!




TreasureKY -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/26/2008 7:01:15 AM)

I'm curious... what does a blazing soul look like?

People "see" what they "feel".... regardless if it is actually there or not

No rainbow, no unicorn.
I'm unimpressed with this attempt at bdsm romanticism.    [:D]



Aileen1968 -> RE: The Looking Glass (7/26/2008 7:10:25 AM)

Oh dear...if anyone ever spoke to me like this I'd be crying too, but from laughing so hard.  Mushy stuff does absolutely nothing for me.
