Kissing the hand that canes me (1)

Posted by Betony on Mon 1 Nov 10, 12:38 PM to Betony's blog.

Would that I could daily kiss

The hand that wields the whip and cane

And put my lips softly

Into that small perfect place

At base of thumb

On your warm flesh,

Or touch your eyes

With my mouth

Whilst you sleep.

I would not ask another thing

Of you

Except that I could

Lie at your feet

Forever.
