To A Master

If chains were made to hold me to you,
Then wearing them every day would please me.
If a collar was our symbol of unending balance,
Then I would worship it as an extension of you.

If tied up in your stern embrace was a reward,
Then everything I'd do would be to please you.
And being alive would be truly living
If life was spent making you proud of me.

If in requiring your caring punishment
I would cry to know I'd failed you.
I'd take your action as guidance
And strive to be better for it.

If peace was attained in making you comfortable,
Making you feel pleasure in everything I achieved,
Life would be in perfect arrangement,
My soul's cry for harmony would be silenced.

For as long as you would guide me,
And love me in that way that you do.
I would forever be in your service,
As long as your voice still sounded.
In my head.
