"I wanted to crawl to the men, to tell them I understood, to beg them to have me, to let me give them pleasure.

"I wanted to please them as a slave girl, theirs. My eyes were vulnerable with the helpless lust of a bound girl who would crawl to a man to serve him.

"I had not dreamed such an emotion could exist. It was not merely that I was eager to piteously and submissively display my beauty to them, that they might be moved to take it in their arms and vanquish it, but, beyond this, I was overwhelmed by an entire dimension of emotion which might be spoken of, though inadequately, as the desire to yield service and love. I wanted to give, unstintingly, with no thought of return. Always I had been concerned with what I might obtain. Now, for the first time in my life, in my joy and self-acceptance as a female slave, I wanted to give. I wanted to give all of myself, wholeheartedly, to deliver and bestow myself unto them as their girl, who loved them and would do all for them, asking nothing. I wished to be nothing, and to give all.

"I wanted to be their slave.

"I shook with the selfless ecstasy of the slave girl.

"I wanted to crawl to them to tell them that I now understood, and that I was theirs. I wanted to cry out to them, to weep, to kneel to them, to kiss and lick submissively at their bodies in my joy."

John Norman, Slave Girl of Gor, p. 102


"The sky is changed,—and such a change! O night
And storm and darkness! ye are wondrous strong,
Yet lovely in your strength, as is the light
Of a dark eye in woman! Far along,
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among,
Leaps the live thunder."
George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron

Tempest

Far
At the edge of awareness
Low
A rumbling felt, but not heard
Deep
Why does my belly burn?

Closer
Just barely heard
Ghostly
Creeping over the horizon
Ominous
What can it mean?

Distant
Not yet threatening
Booming
Still far away
Doubtful
Surely this is not for me?

Nearer
Coming this way
Clouds
Filling the sky
Darkness
Where can I hide?

Approaching
Almost here
Thunder
Swelling over the hills
Fear
Is there no shelter?

Flashing
Bolts of light
Electric
More powerful than I
Exposed
How can this be happening?

Deafening
Rolling over the land
Strong
Commanding me
Wonder
What is this I feel?

Tumultuous
FIlling the air with sound
Surrender
Giving in to my fears
Shock
Is this who I am?

Rain
Drenching the earth
Cold
Trembling inside
Discovery
Why haven't I known this?

Mist
Cleansing showers
Pure
Washing over me
Contentment
How may this girl serve?
