DOLERE EST VIVERE
My life’s journey is marked upon my body
Like the craters and canals seen from the Heavens
Everyone ink is a story,
Every crease is a line of joy to my heart
And every scar is a battle fought for love
I feed of the Sun. And Sex and Experience.
I have known pleasure and pain in equal measure
For to hurt is to be alive.
I am Prometheus, Chained and Unchained
The hunter whose heart feeds his prey
Unchained I will impale you, devour you
Strip you and tie you
Reach inside for the guts you feared would desert you.
I will cut you and and crack you
Break you and remake you anew
Make you hard in defiance
Soft in compliance
By force unleash your essence of lust
Extracted in fear, surrendered in love
Then again I will hurt you
Until you know in spleen and bowel, heart and groin
That to hurt is to be alive
But chained I am changed, compromised, conquered
Bound by the love for the man who owns my heart
Yet, on a whim,
Rips it open and feeds it to others
His ownership is inked upon my body
Our story is his to tell
If you find me chained I am to be tortured and tested
Forever I must prove my devotion
My hurt is his healing
And you are the agent of my pain for his pleasure
I will be naked and humbled
Tethered and torn open
So he can see your conquest, my humiliation
Is his devotion
Do not release me from these chains
Never release me from these chains
I chose them. I chose him. I chose pain.
For to love is to hurt
And to hurt is to be alive
