Tears coursing, emotions quailing,
desires crucified without the nailing.
Piercing pain enterwines with ecstacy
the feelings of pleasure beyond fantasy.
Pain and pleasure different sides of the coin
submissive desires, a Master's enjoin.
Who is that maiden who flirts with the dark
esoteric pathways she's off to embark.
Looking for guidance, love, hope and much more
always a lady and sometimes a whore.
Paradoxal pleasure's in delight she's torn
Seeking advice from the Rose and the Thorn.
