Nonplused Muslimah

Nonplused Muslimah

 

Sitting quivering; you look at me
So close but so far
You don’t touch me; make me wonder?
Body quiver at slow idle; like purr or like fright?

What will happen now?
Can I make you happy?
Somehow please you?
My heart flutters in the wind

Can I please you; is it in me?
In the fog; I am lost
At your mercy; please do hurry
Before I flee in fright

Burning tears betray me
I try to be strong; it’s not so; I am in خوف
Strength in me is thin veneer; almost sheer
Too weak to stop a strong man

Chain me; restrain me before I flee in terror
If you don’t it’s your error
Do I yield or lash out?
Take me but protect you; never turn your back to me.

Trap me, hurt me; make me cry
Someone care enough to try?

Maybe piss you off; make you beat me
Who in control now angry warrior?
Drive you mad
Make you kill me?

Maybe I live to spite you
Make you think too many want me.
Wish it so
Not secure; maybe never; what will happen to me?

A salaam alaykum Khadija ~

You've managed to convey quite a mood and set of circumstances, an interpersonal dynamic, in only a few lines! Well done - it sounds to me, however, like an excerpt from a longer piece?

I really hate it when I can't spell. Is this the thoughts of an fanatic watching the crowd as they walk before them. before he/she martyrs themselves?

Being captive and secure

I'd arranged to meet a man at a local Pub. The Poetry is a result of being told to sumarize my feelings about that meeting. I was excited, yet quite frightened too. Like a moth to the flame, I entered the Pub not knowing what would happen; where this meeting would eventually lead me.

One of the things we had talked of was my willingness to participate in an event where I would hang from the ceiling by hooks embedded in my back. Being to frightened, I demurred. Though a nice caning while suitably helpless in a rope harness does hold considerable fascination for me. Is life richer when one is taken close to death?

It's been quite a lot of work to decide if I should re-involve myself with the BDSM community, or to continue with my religion. It would be quite a stretch to think that the two are not mutually exclusive of each other; or would it?
