Words from a wandering mind

Black leather
and hard steel
encircle soft flesh.

A physical symbol
of a spiritual connection.

Ownership
expressed as a promise;

‘When this padlock
clicks shut,
everything else
will begin
to unlock.

By binding your body
I will tame your mind
and in doing so
I will free your soul.

All you need do
is kneel
and accept
my gift.’
