the question in your eyes

your vulnerable eyes
look up at me
with such a universe
of need
in them

take me,
your eyes say
tease me
tie me up
take me to that place
of forgetfulness
of hope and desire
of belonging and ownership
of total control

your hungry eyes
hunger for my gaze
hunger for my voice
hunger for my touch
hunger for my possession of you

your shiny eyes
so very shiny
so shiny with your
bottomless need to submit
bottomless need to serve
bottomless need to please

I gaze into your submissive eyes
as I take your hand
slowly, surely, firmly in mine
and I gently gaze down at you
as I answer:
Yes.
