Strings of Control
A woman’s hand, so soft, yet strong,
Pulls the strings, where he belongs.
A puppet moves, his will not free,
Bound by threads she cannot see.
He dances, sways, at her command,
A fragile figure, held in hand.
Yet in his eyes, a silent plea,
To cut the strings and let him be.
But freedom lies in tangled thread,
A choice to break, or stay instead.
For though she pulls, he holds the key,
To snip the ties and claim his plea.
Her hand so steady, the strings so tight,
He moves in shadow, bound by her might.
A gentle pull, a subtle sway,
He follows her lead, come what may.
His steps are hers, his voice is still,
Shaped and steered by her quiet will.
Yet in the dance, a story unfolds,
Of power unseen, and secrets untold.
No scissors here, no ties to sever,
The puppet and hand entwined forever.
A silent bond, a wordless thread,
Where freedom bows, and control is fed.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Wow. That is subtle and deep. I truly like it. Great work Marie.
Some relationships are like this indeed. This flows beautifully, Georgie.
