"dominance" poems
I'M MAKING nachos in your toaster oven. The chips fall in the pan without a problem. Beans, evenly distributed (if I do say so myself.) Salsa- good to go. Then the cheese. Generic brand shredded cheese blend. I dangle my (washed) fingers into the zip-lock bag, grab a generous pinch and rain mild cheddar down on my gourmet meal. And I feel the tears building. "No," my conscious scolds, "you will not cry over shredded cheese." I add another pinch for flavor, then another to assert dominance. I slide the pan into the tiny oven- triumphant! But the next task breaks me. I freeze when I try to adjust the heat setting. I hear your voice so clearly, like you're still calling from the next room: "you have to press the TOAST button, it cooks much faster."  The tears start to roll. I think about how excited you were when cheese bubbled perfectly- "just a little brown, ever so slightly crispy." We would joke about your persnickety preferences, likely a product of your superior taste. Of course, you would have appreciated anything I made for you, but it was always better when the dish matched the idea in your head...when I made it like you would have made it (if you were only well enough to cook for yourself again.) In the present, I poke the TOAST button and flee the kitchen as to not cry in front of the smothered chips. I sit on the sofa and break down, gasping in childish sobs. "I miss her," I wail to an empty house. Warm tears coat my cheeks in the air-conditioned room. I feel so small. I feel so foolish for crying over stupid, little things. I feel so... so... A bell dings in the kitchen. I wipe my sleeve across my face and traipse back to the toaster. Hand into oven mitt, mitt onto pan, pan onto table. I grab the plastic tubs of sour cream and guacamole from the fridge and a spoon from the drawer that sticks a little when you try to open it. I pick the non-wilted bits off the head of lettuce and rinse them under the faucet. I finish the recipe. I pull out a chair. I sit down to nachos for one.

Yesterday you teased me Which is a big no-no I tease boys they don't tease me. You want to stay dominate and that's what you're fighting for But me it's for Revenge, not Dominance.

It's for revenge not dominance.
When I opened my eyes I did not see my husband. No longer was I staring into the eyes of the man I had married. What stood over me was dark... Was like a demon ready to feast on a meal that could serve an entire colony for a month. This monster gazed over my body and stared at me like the last ounce of satisfaction in existence. And with that final smirk he unleashed the beast that would rob me of total control and devoured me whole. My soul was painted with the lust of this being. This creature... this thing... this being of unholy and complete dominance... he had done the unthinkable. He was not the man I had married... oh no.. he was much much more... he was my soul mate... and that night... we made total and complete love. not in the sheets of a single room, but we broke the laws of the universe and let the stars bare witness to this event.. this new chapter. A new type of beginning. A new type of... 'Big bang"... A new start of creation. This was not simply a kink but absolute and pure passion. His eyes roared with obsession and utter desire to please me and worship my very existence. Gods would not understand such treatment, Titans could never even begin to comprehend the concept of it. It just simply was and forever could be known as... Love.

What is Love 3... ****** Trials..
Exploring the outlines of submission I find dominance. Will holding instinct underwater just to prove it can. Topping from the bottom: use me the way I want to be used or I will ***** holes in your engorged ego by being bored. My one control: showing up to submit. Your one duty: Taking what I offer. Keep taking it possess me wrap me around yourself tight like the skin of a drum beating me banging me trapped in that rhythm I am finally free. Don’t you dare stop ******* me or if you must at least have the decency to tell me what to do next.

Slavery Is Freedom
Annoyance from the brains relased toxins I can't control. Dominance over my mind and soul. Hearing through ears on repeat remembering each peice of food on record. Dieing inside the soul from ratched cycles. ADHD, ADHD, ADHD. I have it do you?

Yes, sir, I want you to spank me With that hand I know so well It is more than just five fingers It’s the reason I rebel Yes, sir, I want you to clank me In bonds of silver and gold Chained, I’m a precious gift to you Unwrapping me never gets old Yes, sir, I want you to yank me Down on the floor to my knees My gaze lowers at your command I’m eager to do as you please Yes, sir, I want you to flank me Punish me from every side I know I’ve been a naughty girl Needing discipline you’ll provide Yes, sir, I want you to crank me Up to writhing ecstasy Don’t stop ‘til I ******* beg you Your tough love is what sets me free Yes, sir, I want you to thank me For being your precious pet Even though I disobey you It’s clear you love to see me sweat Yes, sir, I want you to spank me With the implement of your choice Make it hurt to make me happy In your dominance I rejoice

Spank Me
The moon illuminates the tears she sheds as the darkness shields her from this reality. She opened the portal to her fantasy world and the memories she once hid, finally reappears. His ability to make her chocolate frame quiver into the palm of his hand just by whispering those 3 words. The way his alluring eyes would caress and soothe her soul to force her to disclose its hidden secrets. "Do you mean it?" She quietly whispered into his ears as their essence finally merged into existence. He was able to tear down her layers of pain, confusion, and hurt as he crossed the threshold into her mind.   As she gazes into his ravishing eyes, she becomes paralyzed as they undress her bare petite physique. The gateway to her hidden domain steadily closes as the warmth rays rest upon her dried tears. Her tear stricken face clenches onto the dwindling memories of his dominance over her. If only he kept to his word, then he would have understood her tears of affection.

#his eyes are warm, a hazel brown upon his head the devil’s crown hell's fire reveals his true intention it's why the lord refused his ascension his lust it flickers, a candle in the storm mine burns for him, undying, unnerving he doesn't love me he never will but oh he's a man when he grips my thigh he spreads me open and makes me sigh asserting dominance he whispers sin i cry for god but my voice runs thin he's had his ***** way with me I'm tainted, ruined, marked and done he's finished with me, had his fun yet sometimes in my wildest dreams I yearn for him and that wicked gleam.

462: Submission
Do you feel better now? Now that you think you've figured me out? Found out what makes me tick? One hand clasped around my throat. The other tangled in my hair Pulling my head back so I'm forced to look in your eyes So you can control me So you can make me love you Red marks on the backs of my thighs A strict set of rules so you'll never worry Punishment and reward Equal gratification All those things you want from me That you can gain from tying my wrists together Leaving rope burns across my stomach Alone in a room Exposed and waiting for you to come back And love me Just like I did to you But in such a different way You say that you're dominant And that I'm the submissive one Yet you want to jump right in And I'm going to consider our options Because your inexperience Doesn't blend well with my needs You can't collar me just to say you did You have to mean it And you don't know what it means to mean it

Purple It was your favourite colour You made me wear it, you made me When you was painting Deep colours like Purple were your pallet Your canvas was pale white clean and pure Innocent almost but your aggressive ruined it Your paintbrush you held it with power, pride dominance with brutal force i was your canvas and your brush your fist you smothered me now i am your favourite colour purple.

Its hard to not to forget that they tortured our memory motivated by pain no motivated by love love for the living we are trying to reach the living those sensitive to nature still not desensitized by the construction of whiteness trying to reach those uninterrupted by the temporary dominance desperation pretending to be evolution hearts beating apathy to death hysterical neglect of our trauma native tint in our eyes take our minds back from the product whose profits are imperialism give them back to dancing revolution starts in the movement of the hips a cou de tat of sway no one knows what you are no matter how confident they seem dance with your eyes closed looking deep inside do not get stuck in its reflection the hysterical reflection dance like every military just surrendered into our hearts the living are with you now can you feel them in your sway

This is the Devil’s hour. It’s when George Lutz hears the ghosts And murders his family in Amityville Horror. Shia Labeouf get’s high on acid at 3:15. I decide to write a poem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For 4 hours I’ve been trapped in the Internet. From Facebook posts about feminism To related searches on Google. “Mexican **** Takes Huge American **** A video of a man receiving oral from An eighteen-year-old Hispanic girl. After ******* on her face, He spits in her mouth And slaps her with a foam finger That says, “America is #1” The cameraman then says in Spanish, “Still happy you’re doing **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As I watched this woman degrade herself It became hauntingly aware That I could have stopped watching at any time. The men in the video were pigs But then what does that make me? A ****** A lonely man? Not to say I gained pleasure from this. I don’t get off on Women being demoralized by A ***** (the true icon of male dominance) For the ****** entertainment of others Man is not a wolf, Man is a parasite. (My self-included) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My eyes are made of glass My head like a bag of hammers Insomnia got the best of me.

Insomnia 3:15 a.m.
I fall to my knees, Kneeling before you, My Master, Groveling at your glorious feet, To reveal the chains of submission, Weighing down my delicate form. You gaze upon me, Beholding soft skin shimmering, As my body is folded over; Viewing my tantalizing beauty, As I bestow myself, To fulfill your deepest desires, Conjuring the darkest yearnings, Manifesting within. “Rise, Baby Girl’’, Your deep voice commands, Reverberating within this crimson colored chamber, As your figure towers over me, Beckoning my legs to stand, Obliging to please you, As my hazel eyes encounter, The blazing intensity of your own, Sending flames to burn, Down to the small of my back. Fear is the armor I allow to fall, Tumbling to the ground, Cloaking myself in trust, As I allow my body to be, Touched by dominant hands, Trussed up by ropes and chains, To restrain to me. Willingly becoming prey, To the sweet, antagonizing caress, Before your hand aggressively strikes, My behind, Sending me into a realm, Of pleasure and pain, Morphing into one sensation. Free is the response I experience, As you bounds my wrists, With your tie, Pinning me down, Straddling my body. Placed between your thighs, With your heated lips, Conquering every inch of my body. The Sting of the flogger, Is a bite against the skin I crave, As silence is the language, I choose to speak, Feeling your fingertips claim me, As your territory to reign over, As you please. I yearn to satisfy the hunger, Starving to be your nourishment; For Sadism to feed, Upon masochism, As a balance of power is established, As we lose ourselves in fiery passion. Dominance and Submission, Forces meant to bond to the other, In a marriage of infliction and reception, Of blissful agony, Accepting the temptations you direct, Towards me as guide, To obtain our darkest of fantasies. Submission speaks out within, The silence as I give you, A proffered hand, Succumbing to the sensual dreams, You promise to me, Allowing you to possess me in any way, You wish in accordance to our terms. May you indulge upon my form, Like decadent candy you crave, To devour, Savoring every taste, Sound, smell, and touch, In this licentious dance between you, My Master, And me, your fervent lady, Of submission.

When we think about the choices in our lives When we fight and we bicker and become bitter When we think there is only power or powerlessness If we can realize that there is power and powerlessness Then haven't we began to acquire consciousness In that instance haven't we began the process of choice That there is those who have not have given birth to this consciousness To those who have only lived powerlessness And know nothing else Haven't you owed them part of your consciousness That you have ceased to be one of them Or your mere power has denied one of them That there is no choice for them Because they haven't birthed that consciousness And if you choose power they'll remain powerless Because within you there is no loyalty, right? It is a choice predicated by an erroneous concept of self-preservation It is a treacherous dichotomy; doesn't make sense This is not an indictment of your desire not to suffer Because surely to hold power would cease your suffering But it is this type of power that thrives on the proliferation of powerlessness This conceptual understanding of what it means to have power That is not what we've come learn, but readily ascribe to That a mind and body can cultivate power That can be harvested, shared, communal For the sole purpose of the survival of the other, not the self That that can survive in this world is impossible Its antithetical to the modes of production In which our societies operate and thrive How can workers begin to derive power from their collective efforts How can workers' purchasing power equal the power of the production of their labor How can any community in any corner of the world escape The misanthropic missions of first world free trade capitalism When will we reclaim our escaping humanity When will we cease to keep feeding the system with our minds, our bodies, our labor How much longer can we become fodder, scraps, waste feeding the machine And don't think that you are safe when you have made it When you have entered the circle of dominance Because it is then when you will loose your humanity or die It is at that apex of power that your presence becomes Just as dispensable as that of the powerless Because to maintain that circle of dominance Requires a total conversion to misanthropy The rigor with which your power will be required To keep proliferating powerlessness will give no break And when you become useless, it will replace you So that we must realize that the modes of production That we allow to exploit us In powerlessness, or the semblance of power Can never safeguard our humanity How much further will we allow power to be concentrated So that soon we ourselves, or our children won't have a choice Won't have the consciousness of power just powerlessness

Partly darkened and part in light A time when the stars and sun shared the sky Bear witness to two behemoths wielding might Impending clash foreseen to go awry Two trains of thoughts charging from opposite ends Each bearing their own solid ideals Their flags that flew with conflicting brands Convictions they carry on beaten, weary wheels Almost an eternity, the time is soon Seconds lasted before they finally would meet Feeling of dread like the cloud covered moon With war cries of whistles, they would greet No possible way that they could miss War waged in steeled wills and forged metals Anticipate the moment, their couplings would kiss Unleashing a barrage of predestined reprisals Sheer destruction as they ate into each other All in tow haphazardly derailed A clash made of brute strength and power A result of when decisiveness had failed All was motionless save for the light of day The two lay dead; spent currencies in coal Fire and smoke had emerged from the fray Signifying that the two have met their goal Their cargo now freed, engaging in petty skirmish Lunging and wrestling as they fought for dominance Determination to overwhelm; never to languish Jousting fists fueled by pent-up vengeance Almost at end this long drawn battle Much like a storm to be patiently ridden out When the last of the debris should settle Then would be lifted the dusty veil of doubt The sun has now risen revealing the aftermath Shedding light on the devastation incurred Dark thoughts possess the most potent of wraths But nothing could beat the muscle of the written word Looking back I've realised the harm I've caused Found great solace in the dark words I've governed Life still hurls; it can never be paused Just dust yourself off for you're better off enlightened

Partly darkened and part in light A time when the stars and sun shared the sky Bear witness to two behemoths wielding might Impending clash foreseen to go awry Two trains of thoughts charging from opposite ends Each bearing their own solid ideals Their flags that flew with conflicting brands Convictions they carry on beaten, weary wheels Almost an eternity, the time is soon Seconds lasted before they finally would meet Feeling of dread like the cloud covered moon With war cries of whistles, they would greet No possible way that they could miss War waged in steeled wills and forged metals Anticipate the moment, their couplings would kiss Unleashing a barrage of predestined reprisals Sheer destruction as they ate into each other All in tow haphazardly derailed A clash made of brute strength and power A result of when decisiveness had failed All was motionless save for the light of day The two lay dead; spent currencies in coal Fire and smoke had emerged from the fray Signifying that the two have met their goal Their cargo now freed, engaging in petty skirmish Lunging and wrestling as they fought for dominance Determination to overwhelm; never to languish Jousting fists fueled by pent-up vengeance Almost at end this long drawn battle Much like a storm to be patiently ridden out When the last of the debris should settle Then would be lifted the dusty veil of doubt The sun has now risen revealing the aftermath Shedding light on the devastation incurred Dark thoughts possess the most potent of wraths But nothing could beat the muscle of the written word Looking back I've realised the harm I've caused Found great solace in the dark words I've governed Life still hurls; it can never be paused Just dust yourself off for you're better off enlightened

Gloomy  morning attempts, lazily an abstract, on the damp canvas eastern sky extends, halfheartedly smearing, dark monsoon clouds along with some white and grey patches, then slowly, warms up to a red mood; as if by a second thought adds full of flight of birds, for an effect. Avian splay, what a display! The sun visibly gets pale, upset being just a part of the picture, unable to dominate, as his usual practice. Not at all pleased at the emerging picture, he sulks at the prospect, of more dull, vain clouds rushing in, spoiling the composition with their- chance  megalomaniacal dominance.

spurned sun on a monsoon morn
There are beetles on my skin Attacking my bark With pincers sharp -trying to get in And as they cover me Head to toe in a blanket of living death They tickle in bitter giggles At my senses, set ablaze By their exo-skeletal steps I do not build a scream For the sound would die out in between The sheet of beetles And my trodden lips Instead I lie still Commanding them with my negligence Fusing with their fear-mongering They take my shape; I don’t take theirs I am the alpha insect The form of their nature And now I stand In beetled armor A figure against the sun My shadow raining over the undergrowth Reigning over the under. In this symbiosis we travel Across valley and valley Coleoptera-covered Rand McNally Covering the earth, showing The dominance of man The man the man He who holds the plan In the palm of his life-colored hand I am he The guardian of land and sea Infected with a voice-in-hand Who writes eternity Whose pen is the land filled with ink of the sea And with beetles of lead I harmonize That between myself And quaking skies As the world shakes in its roots During a spacequake That bends our atoms like dried glue But then I am not alone And as I rest on grass of gold The heroes step forth, dressed in animals In a dark, ****** harmony That is the nature of our home, our Terra The brute beauty in black void Swimming through time like a turtle On which the souls of man rest On golden grass Our spherical nest And our evils are justified By the good of our pursuit of beauty Though selfish maybe Though hellish for he That swims on land But drowns as he walks the sea We are multitudes. We are Gaia, we are the mother tree The ****** bliss of humanity Dark and light, both are we.

Once upon a time, in a place called Venustus a raw newb caught my eye I wonder what it was about her that made me want to try The quiet one kneeling on the rug playing with her Pegs quite unlike the others less submissive, yet somehow more so in ways that I couldn't see at the time She chides me for my lack of attention shouldn't it be the other way round? should she not be the one attending to me? yet somehow I can't make that demand can't bring myself to issue the command can't take the risk she'll call my bluff begin to realise I can't get enough I begin to doubt my Dominance as we get closer there's something else Incredible as it seems, I feel her body close to mine her warmth come through and then she asks "do you feel it too?" And I do feel it I feel you beside me, within me I feel that for us it has always been this way that I've always known you and you feel that way too Then everything became simple and yet more complicated Now I had no choice but to face myself to admit the thing I'd tried to hide because love demands honesty to be honest with you I had to be honest with me Even though I had no doubt still I needed space to work it out a week or two should be enough the next three months were really tough Cynthia Pauline Jones, March 2013
