Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats
This poem is very much how I view submission. I've only my dreams to offer. My heart, my soul, my being. Offered at the feet of a worthy man. Something very hard to find.
I'm a very stubborn person. Some people find it to be a turn off. To me being submissive mearly means that I am able to put aside pride, ego, and my own desires for someone who truely deserves all I can offer. Those Doms that think that just because they are domaint and just because I am submissive that I should kneel before them simply due to labels should look elsewhere. I am not that type of submissive. In a relationship I will claim my Dom as much as they will own me. He will be my Master, and in that I will own him as much as he will own me. It is just that we will choose the type of power exchange we will choose to express that mutual ownership in a way that looks unequal to an unknowing eye.
Those who understand this should proceed. It is a precious thing, submission. I do not give it lightly, and in fact have only given it to one person. I look for someone who will not take submission lightly either. Who will use it to better not only themselves but me as well. Who will take what I give them and preceed to make our lives richer through the gift I have given them.
I look for someone who has themselves under control. How can you lead someone else if you can not lead yourself....
If I have intrugied you, if you feel that any of what I have said is true, if you are able to write a complete sentence. Then please, message me. We have much to discuss.
"Love is giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting that they won't."
....Tread softly
