SirNico -> RE: Your story - in a book?? (10/10/2007 2:48:07 PM)

I've done a bit of writing in the past, both vanilla and D/s. Have pub'd in Consent and Submit mags back in the 80's and 90's (yes i am that old).
When I put my chapbook together I found it good to have a very short piece, like a poem or a piece of prose intersperced between the stories (fiction) to break the pace of page after page reading.
below is a sample called 'tether'. Just a suggestion, I would be happy to contribute either story or breaker.
(tether is the name given to the towrope that joins a glider to the towplane. I use that as the motif for the poem to describe a relationship between a Dom and a sub, but this particual poem was pub'd in vanilla rag as well)
'Tether'
you tether me
you hook me to your dreams
an emotional towrope joins our souls
i feel the tug and soon we fly
you sooth my fears, conquer my demons
i feel release in your lead
a freedom from decision
we explore, as we glide through the dreamscape
and just when i feel the most secure
the link drops
falls harmlessly away, and i am alone
no sound, no tether
i reel in fear
my hands sweating on the rudder of my life
bringing my ship under control
plummeting, fighting,
and then, leveling,
sailing
with some trepidation, i see you
i see what you’ve done
you have set me freer than ever
i have no boundaries
soaring on the edge of whim
no conscious decisions, save to land
send my spirit jetting on a thermal of emotion
elation ballasts my wings
then softly, back to ground, and running
to your arms
longing for that freedom again
but safe within yours for now.
N. Roman 5/98
