Skin on Fire

When Pain and Pleasure become One

Hold my hands above my head

whether with your own or with rope,

I am your willing prisoner,

Taking every bite and scratch you give me;

When these kisses sting like needles

It feels like a dose of a needed drug.

It flows through me and I beg for more.

When a strong hand delivers the blow to my body,

It is an embrace that I have been wanting for so long.

My body needing your tenderness and your roughness

Like it needs food and water.

Outsiders will say that this is unnatural, that I

Need a therapist but my trust in you and your

Skillful mind lead me to feel healed and whole.
