My Mistress

My Mistress

What tragedy is this that pulls at my core?

What moment in time has frozen it all?

 

Dare I look lest its beauty blind me?

To smell the nectar of natures flawless work.

Do I dare? Or am I wanting more than my share?

 

My nerves are on edge at the precipice I stand.

I take heart in the courage of those that have gone before me.

Once more into the breach, I thrust myself so deep.

 

The pain that awaits me gives me solace.

For I know the pit falls of this endeavor and readily accept them.

 

It is a thing that so many before me, have sought to conquer.

But she is a demanding Mistress that does not concede to a master.

It is nature in its purest deadliest form.

 

This Mistress has driven many to defeat.

Wars have been fought in her name, families divided and yet she is the Mistress most of us seek.

 

What fortune will I hand over to visit my Mistress?

I would pay whatever price she demands.

She holds me tight in her loving embrace, never letting me forget the price I have paid.

 

Oh, I paid a willing price, and would have paid more.

My Mistress is a fickle one, for that you can be assured.

 

What Mistress is this, that I speak of you ask?

Why her name is “Love” and she has ripped out my soul to feed on.

A mistress is a curious person. It's like when I'm with Rose. I know quite a bit about computers and intellectual subjects - and while in the day I may rule and my word is law, she listens and adheres to what I say.

At night, however, it is the reverse - she is the master and I am the student that is to do as she commands - and dare I say it - I am a little frightened and intimidated of her proficient background and maturity on the matter.

We all have our intellectual pursuits, this I think is why we find someone to share our lives with. That we might be complete and fulfilled in all aspects of our development. And who better to attain that missing need than one we are intimate with ?

[ron]

Very true. I have had more than one Mistress...not physical lol.

[dw817]

Oh - well Mistress by definition can mean several things:

1. A woman who has a continuing sexual relationship with a usually married man who is not her husband and from whom she generally receives material support.

2. A woman in a position of authority, control, or ownership, as the head of a household.

3. A woman with ultimate control over something.

4. Mistress Used formerly as a courtesy title when speaking to or of a woman.

To which of these are you referring to ?

Mine has always been 2 with shades of 1.

[ron]

I think it would be 3. As The Mistress of love has controled and tormented me form oh lets say freking High School...lol. Thanks for reading. :)

[dw817]

Mine has tormented me since 3rd grade and covers 4-books I'm working on - there's dedication. *Grin* You might write the events into your stories as a way of dealing with your feeling for her.

[ron]

Thats a good idea, I had not thought of before. Thank you I will try that.

[dw817]

Some of the best writing we do is based upon real-life events we had in the past. Good luck, you can do it ! :)

[ron]

I dont know if my life can handle much more.

[dw817]

You can - and you are never alone - ever. You will find as you answer more and more questions about life that you are - in fact - answering other people's questions too. By being friends with another you can support each other. :)

[ron]

Very true.

[s y e]

Waaaaaw, who would have guessed you had a Mistress Ron! Tut, tut, tut.... I'm kidding. Honestly though, this was really good!

// Why her name is “Love” and she has ripped out my soul to feed on. //

Well that's deep and dark, Ron, aha. Very well done!

[ron]

[s y e]

[ron]

[s y e]

Hahaha, lucky youu! Remember to butt her out when she gets mean :P

[ron]

Lol... I will remember.

[s y e]

Good.........

[SquinklaPsyOps]

I think you have a very interesting poem here that is completely brilliant.

[ron]

Thank you. You have given me far to much credit, I write as it flows and the talent I supect is not my own, but a longing deep inside.

[Abdul Batin Osman Bey]

I liked how the poem alludes to the Mistress in a dominatrix manner and how she is revealed as simply love. I enjoyed the poem it's slightly erotic good write

[ron]

Thank you very much. Love can be an erotic lover some times.

[Zahraa B.]

Well, I can only say that what i felt whilst reading this surpasses what i have to offer with words to describe.

[ron]

The shorter first one is what i wrote. The second better longer one is a re-write of the first I asked Charisma Moonfairy to write.

[Sami Khalil]

You amaze us with your lovely work. Another enchanting one...:)

[ron]

Thank you you do me far to much justice.

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure...:)

[poetdoug]

"I willingly paid and price, and would have paid more."
Such wonderful words to describe this hectic corner of life. I think we have all been there at one time or another. Thanks for putting it so perfectly!

[ron]

Thank uoi for your kind words.

[Charisma Moonfairy]

Tragic hearts that have yearned before my own
How has such a mystery not occupied my mind and soul before now

For just a moment in time her love has caressed me
Frozen time in the blink of an eye with such beauty that has gripped my breast
Shall I fall to my own selfishness and dare another look, just one surely cannot be a crime

Nerves on edge as never before, standing at the thin cliff that looks down into the abyss
So many fallen before me, shall I steal a bit of their courage to lead me on
Sweet mistress urging me forward to take that final leap, the one that will let me be cradled in her bosom forever more

So many have fallen victim to her steely stare
I spent so long running from it I never dared to speak her name aloud, to be enveloped in the beauty that is she
I embrace the pain that gives me solace

Shall I be driven to defeat or shall I fight for the right to call her mine own
I seek her love as have many before me
In war, and more so much has been forged in her honor, surely just one more such as myself cannot hurt much
Selfishly, I yearn for more of my sweet mistress's affection, just a tiny bit more
What could be the harm

No price will be too much to give to her for even a second of her time
I wish nothing more than to call her mine
Let her hold me tightly in her embrace and never let me go
Never let me forget the price I have paid her alone

For love is her name, a cruel mistress indeed
A fickle monster that never shares too much of herself with any one man or woman
What I would give to capture her for all time

She has ripped out the souls of many for her lustrous appetite
And mine has been added to her void
A fate worth enduring
Just for a second of her cruelness
For her time
Forevermore

[ron]

This is truely amazing. I love it thank you.

[Charisma Moonfairy]

You're welcome, I try my best

[Shanil Mehdi]

i like how the poem flows and the vivid details, it was well done.

[ron]

Thank you.

[Charisma Moonfairy]

The last line is probably my most favorite in the entire poem, for Love has ripped out the souls of many to feed her lustrous appetite upon, she can be a cruel mistress indeed. Very well written, a good read.

[ron]

Thank you very much.
