Optimism
by aylin{FS}

A single flower cannot make a bouquet.
A single bright star, pales when placed in the
magnificence of the heavens.
A grain of sand cannot make a beach to walk upon,
and one drop of salt water will never fill the oceans depths.

BUT

The fragrance from a single bloom will fill a room with lingering sweetness.
One star wished upon, is all it takes for hope to spring eternal within your heart.
A single grain of sand, placed within an oyster, soon glows with the soft, rich, luster of a pearl,
And a single salty tear, cried in sweet anguish, can fill a heart with love.

Crawling To Be Whipped
by aylin{FS}

ragged breath
chest so tight
can even death
have this bite?

hands and knees
head hung low
no sense to plead
so on she goes

smell of fear
encircles round
eyes of sorrow
held to the ground

hair swept sideways
tender skin
kurt then whispers
"let pain begin"

degradation
so much shame
humiliation
surface painfire burns
caressing blows
slave then learns
what Master knows

flesh is broken
trembling limbs
His word spoken
and light begins

To heal the pain
takes more then salve
His smile again
is what she'd have
