You are my trea­sure and it is impor­tant that you know that.

Every aspect of our rela­tion­ship is founded on the con­cept of you being my trea­sure. It speaks to my sense of own­er­ship of you, my sense of enti­tle­ment to you, my claim on you, my irre­sistible urge, right even, to use you at my dis­cretion.

It also speaks to my respon­si­bil­ity to care for you and pro­tect you, my duty to ensure your well­be­ing and to meet your needs, my oblig­a­tion to com­pel and deny you, to guide you and to lead you to safety.

You are my trea­sure. It speaks to how impor­tant you are to me. It also says that you are miné and that you belong to me. You are not your own any­more. On the other hand, you are not on your own any­more, either.

This is not an equal rela­tion­ship. I will take from you every­thing that you have to give. And when you think you have noth­ing left to give, I will wring even more out of you.

I am arro­gant enough to believe that through me tak­ing what I need and want from you, you will find your own sat­is­fac­tion and have your own needs met. That by belong­ing to me, by being pos­sessed by me, you will find free­dom through peace of mind, free­dom to be who you truly are and to drop the mask you wear to pro­tect yourself.

This is not an equal rela­tionship. We are not the same. You belong to me and I belong with you. Yet, we are equally impor­tant. You are the trea­sure and I am its safe-​keeper. Your role is to be the source of beauty and nur­tur­ing warmth and my role is to enable you to do and be everything you can be for me.

I expect you to sub­mit to me. I rec­og­nize that it is some­thing that may be hard for you to do on occa­sion and I do not con­sider resis­tance from you as a neg­a­tive thing; together we will find the rea­son for your resis­tance and work through it. Also, it is more impor­tant that you feel free to express truth­fully how you feel in every moment.

I expect you to be an eager accom­plice in your own debauch­ery, in your own vio­la­tion, in your own defile­ment. I also expect you to be a keen col­lab­orator in the rest of our rela­tionship.

This is not an equal rela­tion­ship. The con­cept of fair­ness has no place here. Instead, we strive for har­mony and to meet each other’s needs while acknowl­edg­ing that our needs are vastly dif­fer­ent. You need me to be aggres­sive and inva­sive whereas I need you to be respon­sive and receptive.

I promise to use you and take from you as you care for me and nur­ture me. I am a sadist and as such, I will hurt you. How­ever, I will not harm you. You will always know that you are pleas­ing to me because I sim­ply take what­ever I need and want from you when­ever I need it or want it. I am not giv­ing you the option to decline; you are mine and I will use you at my dis­cretion.

I promise to look out for your well­be­ing. I will pro­tect you and keep you safe and never aban­don you. I will hurt your body but I will not hurt your heart. I am your home just as you are mine. You are my trea­sure and you belong to me and I con­sider you my prop­erty. I will not share you and I will not squan­der what you give me. If, at any point, you feel unsafe with me or feel that I am neglect­ing your needs (not your wants, how­ever), you must tell me at once and we will figure out how to get back on track together.

I promise to honor all lim­its that you request me to observe and I have agreed to. Remem­ber that I can­not honor a limit or tread gin­gerly around a sub­ject unless you explain it to me. Free-​flowing com­mu­ni­ca­tion between you and me is para­mount.

I expect you to be hon­est and forth­right with what you think about and what you feel. I will not allow you to keep secrets from me, even those that you may think serve to keep the har­mony in our rela­tion­ship. I am not giv­ing you the auton­omy to make that decision.

I promise to learn your mind and your heart and your body and to use that knowl­edge to tor­ture you and to keep you safe. You will use safe­words when­ever is appro­pri­ate to aug­ment my own sense for your emo­tional and phys­i­cal state. Note that the safe­words are not yours to do with as you want. I am not giv­ing you per­mis­sion to stop using those safe­words uni­lat­er­ally, no mat­ter how much you trust me; safe­words may only be dis­pensed with if we both agree to do so.

You are the nur­turer and care-​taker in our rela­tion­ship and I expect you to pay atten­tion to my likes and dis­likes and proac­tively make my life eas­ier and more pleas­ant. Unless you ask me for instruc­tions, I expect you to fig­ure out things for your­self. You are a grown woman and I expect you to use your con­sid­er­able intel­li­gence and imag­i­na­tion and resource­ful­ness to become the best girl for me possible.

You are my girl. Now, get to it.

I have to agree with Khandroma. You have a rare and beautiful gift of expression that reaches out and grabs the reader and pulls them in and forces them to look within themselves and delve to discover what has been hidden behind their secret walls. Thank you for initiating the destruction of those internal walls.

I got this URL from a friend and was stunned how well it applied to me! I had never seen my emotional dependence as being a sub before. You have put a while new perspective on my perception of myself. Thank you,

I see your point, but this piece was written specifically to our relationship. You see, early on, I felt it burdensome to share some of my thoughts with Dreamwalker. I had all of these insecurities that I thought would turn him off, so I kept them to myself. This on occasion would cause me to be distant from time to time and left Dreamwalker wondering what was going on. In writing that particular piece, he was referring to this. He was right because instead of me having to feel those things inside, by telling him, he begins to learn me through and through, good and bad and can help me try to overcome these things. This doesn’t disrupt the harmony in our relationship, actually it makes it more harmonious and in fact, many of my worries have been dispelled. It is also so nice to know I don’t have to carry these burdensome thoughts or feelings alone anymore.

He doesn’t judge me at all and it makes me feel so loved and accepted and even more motivated to take care of him and make his life easier and better. All relationships are give and take at some level. In my interpretation, Dreamwalker was saying, you are not alone anymore, I love and accept you and want to know all of you. I surrender everything to him, and what we have is as close to perfect as I have ever seen between any two people.

That is it from my point of view. Dreamwalker’s view might differ. I speak only for myself.

Is this a contradiction, I wonder?

I expect you to be hon­est and forth­right with what you think about and what you feel. I will not allow you to keep secrets from me, even those that you may think serve to keep the har­mony in our rela­tion­ship. I am not giing you the auton­omy to make that decision.”

I am having a hard time understanding that first bit. If she is wrong, and what she tells you does not harm the relationship, then she can be reassured and put at ease. Yes. That is healing.

But what if she is right? What if what she says *does* disrupt the harmony in the relationship? What does that serve? Hasn’t she then gone against her obligation to be the nurturer who makes your life easier and more pleasant? Is there really nothing you could hear or know that would do more harm than good?

I‘m not sure if being able to decide what to tell and what not to tell is a question of autonomy; or of judgment. And it seems to me that judgment is her responsibility too.

Is the greater fault having a feeling (that one shouldn’t have), or knowing a secret (that one shouldn’t know); or confessing the feeling, telling the secret? For which fault should one be punished?

I think life has become good for you, and I am so very happy!

I also see so much that I recognize in what you say that it startles me. Not everything, min vän. But a lot. Because I, too, am someone’s treasure. Except that he is the only one allowed to set limits. And he does share me, because he is so proud of me and, I think, loves to see how far I will go for him as a sign of my devotion.

Welcome back to joy, and thank you for letting us see it.

Stunningly expressed. More so you have inspired me to free my own thoughts.

Khandroma is right – more people need what you have here.

You Are Right, This Is Not An Equal Relationship

I need you to take everything from me. When you exercise your entitlement to what is yours, in those times I know, beyond any shadow of doubt that I belong to you completely. Take everything, and then take more. Seeing the look in your eyes when you use me sends me into an erotic bliss that I have never experienced nor wish to experience with another. Only you. Please use me, defile me, hurt me, comfort me, hold me and love me.

I will give you everything; you deserve everything. You make me want to be better in every way for you. I promise I will always follow you gracefully. I promise you that when you reach out your hand, I will always take it without any hesitation. You will never reach out and not find me there. I know your heart; only good lives there. I have never felt safer or more loved, nor have I loved nearly as deeply as I love you.

You are the miracle of my life. You are the answer to my prayers. You are more than the answer, because you are everything and more than I even knew existed. I was made for you and will show you through my love, care, tenderness and suffering how deeply in love with you I am. I will nurture you, care for you and cry for you. I will always tell you my feelings, but I will never question your decisions because I trust you to always make the best decisions for both me and for us.

Yes, you inflict pain on my body, but you are the only one I have ever known intent to inflict love onto my heart. I crave your pain, as I crave your love. Your pain is your love. I crave your teeth sinking into my body. I crave the shudders and screams that come when you clamp down and won’t release. You will hear the love in those screams. Every time.

When I am next to you, I can’t hear the ugly words in my head. The inner voice that says all of those awful things. You are the only one I have ever dared tell those things to. Your light brightens my darkness and quiets my mind. When I am next to you, my mind, heart, body and soul are focused on you. My heart only desires your happiness. You are the only one in my focus, and pleasing you is my continuous desire. I promise it always will be. I could never live with the feeling that I had let you down.

I have no secrets from you, my beautiful Dreamwalker. You demanded and received all of them. I confessed all and closed my eyes knowing you would leave when you knew. When I opened them again, there you were, even closer telling me how beautiful I was to you. My love, my devotion, my surrender are yours without question or hesitation. I am yours. Use me as you wish. I need you to as sure as I need air to breathe.

I adore you. You have made dreams that I never even had the imagination or greed to dream come true. I will never deny you anything. I may struggle, but will never refuse and will always protect your integrity. I will tell you if I get into trouble and need to stop or slow down. I will never ever abuse that, not for myself, but for you. I will never risk you feeling for one moment that you did something wrong. Your trust is safe with me, as certain as I am that mine is safe with you.

You will never be lonely or cold again, this much I promise. Your nightmare is over, and now it’s time for you to be the one lavished with love and warmth and to be taken care of. I promise you with every inch of my being, you will never ever be alone again. You will know in everything that you do that you are loved and that your needs are the most important thing in the world to me. It’s your time. From now on, you will never have to worry about anything. It is now Dreamwalker’s time to shine. I have never known a more amazing man to give all of myself to. It is a privilege to know you, an honor to love you, and a celestial gift for you to love me back.

You are the only man in the world in my eyes. I have met many men and not one would be able to even walk in your shadow. I am truly honored that you have entrusted and chosen me to love and care for you.

I will never leave you, unless you ask me to. I will share my thoughts, my worries, my feelings and my happiness with you. I will never keep a secret from you. I will never betray your trust and I know no matter what happens that you only ever have good intentions towards me.

What started in friendship has blossomed into the most incredible love that I have ever felt. You are my Sun and under your care I will blossom into the beautiful flower that God intended me to be. He sent his best Angel to me and I will be eternally grateful to him for bringing you into my life. You are my Heaven Dreamwalker, and Heaven is even more beautiful than anyone could ever imagine.

Yours Always,

~Gentle Spirit

Goodness gracious me oh my… My heart…. You have done it again. Swiftly and unhesitatating-ly penetrated right through to the core of me. you are magick. Beautiful masculine, yang, magick. I wonder if you‘d be willing to re-post this on Bombshells & Rockstars? The world needs your voice, Dreamwalker. You have a gift. You touch people. And people desperately need that touch. How I love you so!
