About Romantic Dominant

A faded romantic Dominant with a love of all things beautiful and a taste for the darkly sensual and decadent. A lover of music, food and wine, literature, theatre, film and art. A writer. Though not a good one. Of novels, shorts stories, songs and poetry. The written word is my joy and my curse. I am tall, silver haired, slender with piercing hazel/blue eyes and long, sensitive hands. I am neither handsome nor unattractive. I am a realistic dreamer, an idealistic pragmatist. I am a sexually dominant but patient and sensual lover. I adore intelligent, elegant, independent, beautiful women . I am not young. I am faded and fading. But if the music is playing, and the wine is good, and the stars are shining bright in a soft velvet night sky, and the light falls on me just right, then you might see the man who could break hearts. Well, if you have a very good imagination anyway ...

At sea

If this

was the same

as swimming

out to sea

to a distant island,

she is now

at the point

where she is too far

from the shore

to return,

and can only

continue,

leaving her clothes

and her inhibitions

behind

on the beach

.

The Call

Sexual submission

is not for the needy

or the lost

or the lonely

or the bored

or the casually curious.

.

It is for the independent

intelligent girl

who knows the call

the ache

the yearning

to be owned

and fulfilled

deep in her soul.

.

Music starts

Lorelei

The music starts

slow guitar

growling bass

dirty brass

drums kick in

high hat

snare.

.

His eyes

are upon her

watching her face

watching her body

as she moves.

.

She has never

felt more

a woman

than she does

right now.

Everything

I’ve wanted

everything

I’ve had

never prepared me

A darker twist

She is naked.

She runs her fingertips along her cheeks and lightly over lips.

So gently that her skin tingles.

She closes her eyes and trails them over her chin, onto her neck and into the hollow of her throat.

They trace a line across her collar bones. She shivers. But she is not cold.

She is surprised to find her skin so sensitive to her own touch.

She parts her thighs. Wide. As wide as she can.

Breathing hard she allows her hands to slide down and cup her breasts.

She slowly circles her areolae with her thumbs, feeling the already erect nipples harden into tight buds.

She strokes herself, exquisite arcs of excitement. She almost becomes lost in the sensation.

She imagines her hands becoming his. She is under his instruction, under his control

She takes each nipple between thumb and forefinger.

She begins to squeeze. Hard.

In her mind she can hear his voice. Soft, deep, dark, commanding, certain.

‘Harder’

She tightens her grip and gasps at the pain. And yet also the pleasure.

She knows she is wet. Very.

His voice again.

‘Harder’

This time she is brutal with herself.

She cries out, yet maintains her vice-like grip.

It is like two electric shocks. Red hot wires running from breasts to belly to sex.

Urgent, sharp, shocking. intense.

Heavenly.

The deep pitch of her arousal takes her breath away.

She realizes her fantasies have suddenly taken a darker twist.

Not a new piece. But one I enjoyed writing.

Addiction

Addiction

.

The uncaring night will take me

And oppress me with its heat.

Leave me wide-eyed

and sleepless

In a tangle of tortured sheets.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

.

The over-bright dawn will find me

And burden me with its hope.

Leave me confused and restless

Tied up tightly in my own rope.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

.

The relentless day will trap me

And unsight me with its glare.

Leave me wandering and helpless

Your distance has stripped me bare.

.

Since you became my addiction

I have wanted no one else.

Only to see you dance before me

I have longed for nothing else.

.

Past readers of this blog and Twitter will recognize one of my favourite poems. I wrote it fourteen years ago in strange circumstances.
Posted again because sometimes one becomes addicted …

The thought

Although she resists

the thought of it

fills her head.

It steals her breath

makes her dizzy

and leaves her weak

at the knees.

.

It shivers down her spine

tugs at her belly

and caresses

oh so dangerously

her thighs.

And now

she has thought it

she cannot

un-think it

however hard

she tries.

.

Out of the blue

I believe in

unexpected

good things.

.

I believe in

the unpredicted

unanticipated

unforeseen

unheralded

un-looked for

completely

and utterly

out of the blue.

.

I believe in

the amazing.

.

And sometimes,

just sometimes,

my faith

is rewarded.

.

Full-length mirror

Oh to be

your full-length mirror

and in silence

in secret

and unsuspected

admire you

adore you

and applaud you

every day.

‘Oh’

If I told you

how much

I want you

desire you

ache for you

yearn for you

long for you

need you

to belong to me

body and soul

then your eloquent lips

would form

a perfect circle

as you say

‘Oh’.
