What Is A Mistress?

I am a dominant woman of 38 years. I am just that.
I am not dominant because of any superiority on my part.
Not because I feel I am more intelligent, or wiser.
I am not dominant because of the strength or mass of my body.
I am not, nor would I want to be dominant with all men.
Yet to you, I am Mistress.
I am your Mistress only after earning your trust and I embrace your submissiveness.
I have looked into your heart and mind and clearly see your desires and passions.
You have thrown away your fears and inhibitions.
You tell me of the needs of your heart and body.
You have given me total access to your soul, and I accept the responsibility and honour.
You are a man.
You are not weak or inferior because of it.
You are a treasure to be cherished.
We are not equal.
I have the strength of body and mind and the instinctive need to protect, possess, defend and provide for you.
You are a man and instinctively strong of will and heart.
Your belief in me gives me courage and direction.
Your strength disperses my doubt.
Your needs and desires encourage and give purpose to my efforts.
We are not equal. We are parts of a whole.
We compliment each other and make each other complete.
My desire to dominate you is instinctive.
It is not to degrade you nor is it degrading to you
because you are secure in being totally masculine.
We each recognize and accept our worth,
and our need for someone to trust and fulfil our needs.
You are sure, strong and proud in your manhood.
You do not submit as acceptance of inferiority, but from strength and passion.
You expect a Mistress to stand strong and be a woman.
You desire and flourish in the strength and control of a Mistress.
In return you present control of your body, unqualified trust and honesty, and the faithfulness of your heart.
You submit because I have earned your trust,
because I have opened my heart and soul to you,
because I have listened to your words with my ears and heart and have learned to anticipate your needs and emotions. And because I have proven worthy in your eyes, you have given me the only true treasure of life;
you have given me dominance over you.
What you give is not abnormal, but pure, natural and the most beautiful gift a man
could give a woman.
You have given me complete and unshakable assurance of your commitment to me.
Your submissiveness is a magnificent gift and shared responsibility.
I accept this from you with humility and joy.
I understand the rarity and purity of this gift.
I recognize it is your body and soul,
your heart and mind.
I dominate you only because you have allowed it.
I dominate only because you have allowed me to and when I see your body kneel before me, in my mind and heart you are raised above all other men and all the treasures of the earth.
What you give freely cannot in reality be bought and if it could, it would never mean the same.

With special thank to the unknown writer from who I borrowed this great text. It tells exactly the way I feel a Mistress has to be.
