My Ivory Spinx

Like an ivory coated Sphinx, he asks,

"What about bondage turns you on?"

Often, I talk before thinking,

but this time, I felt the weight of his question.

"I find it elegant"

His eyebrows raise,

my ego suggests that my response was a first for his ears,

"Elegant? In what way?"

Endorphins rushes through my body...

My brain starts to spark and simmer...

I savor the chance to converse in this way,

"I find it elegant,

because it's a celebration of our limb's range of motion.

A pleasurable means to apply pressure to our bodies boundaries"

My mind started to ramble all of my previous posts...

He looks confused...

...in a good way...

Changing the subject,

we begin to talk about Sarah Palin

and whatever recent controversy she was wrapped in.

I joke,

"She's the only person who could equally be a presidential candidate

and a contestant of Dancing with the Stars!"

While laughing, my phone vibrates from my pocket.

My ivory sphinx texts from in front of me,

"I think I am the right guy to tie you up..."

"I appreciate your willingness to explore"

I can't wait to discover what dark treasures await for me

I look forward to praising him for granting me passage...

The above photography is from Scott Aitken...

Although his work comes off more acrobatic than masochist

I have a feeling this guy gets it...

He has a thing for twisting up dancers

(Don't we all?)

He pulls off the paper-thin balance between:

Frailty & Strength

Grace & Struggle
