monkey mind

monkey mind
a brain confined
trapped by the past
by conditioning
by words left unsaid
by a childhood unseen
by what could have been

don’t you see
little monkey
you are free

just let go
just move
just step to the side

because though your cage
seems all encompassing
it is just an illusion
one that can be broken

by you
connecting with others

by you
in harmony
with a group
holding space
holding your body
guiding you
to break the cage
you confined yourself to

way back when
you needed such protection
just to survive

but now dear monkey
it’s time to thrive
you are safe
and free
if you choose yourself to be

Effective Bratting

Erotica, R-18+

Effective bratting
is an artform.

Knowing
how far to push
in order
to be pleasured
with pain.

Knowing
where the line is
between the attainment
of funishment
and true punishment.

Knowing
what rules are meant to be broken
and what rules must be obeyed
then
breaking them anyway.

For the look
for the connection
for the control
for the choice
for the domination
for the submission
for the taming of the will
and proving the inability to do so.

Effective bratting
is the embodiment
of the inherent contradiction
between submission
and freedom.

It is the playing of the game
against oneself.

It is a coy smile,
it is the knowing look.
It is words spoken through gritted teeth,
timed to the beat of a hand on flesh;

‘You may set the rules
but I get to choose
obedience
or fun

Consequences be damned.

Go ahead
punish me.

You know I’ll enjoy it.’

Effective bratting
is a challenge
to another
to somehow
control your chaos
long enough
to make you
choose
submission

She Heard I Love You

Erotica, R-18+

He gave her the look
He spoke a command
He used the voice
He sat her down

She discovered pleasure
She explored her limits
She gained freedom
She learnt to surrender

He said ‘good girl’
She heard I love you
