This is Dedicated to my Master
The Baron

The Dominant...
Above all else He cherishes His submissive, in the knowledge that the gift she gives Him is the greatest of all. He is demanding and takes full advantage of the power given to Him, but knows how to share the pleasure that comes from that precious gift. He is in control of Himself first and foremost, so that He may control others. As a stern and demanding Dominant, He can cause His sub to cry real tears. As the consummate lover, He will then kiss the tears away, without ever stepping out of character. In times of trouble, a Dominant will leave the roles behind, to be a supportive friend and partner, never forgetting that this is still a loving relationship between two caring individuals. He is quick to understand the differences between fantasy and reality. He would never ask a submissive to put Him before her career, or family, just to satisfy His own pleasure. To win His submissive's mind, body and soul, He knows He must first win her trust. He will show His submissive humor, kindness, and warmth. He must also show her that His guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving of her attention, that this is a man she can learn from, and trust His direction. He is romantic enough to be protective and chivalrous. When called upon, He will fight for His ladies' honor. He proves to her that He is someone she can lean on, and depend on. He is old-fashioned enough to be a bit of a chauvinist, yet modern enough to respect His woman. Quick to point out the differences between them, He also knows there is no inferiority in those differences. When it comes time to teach His submissive her lessons of obedience, he is a strong and unyielding professor. He will accept no flaw, nothing less than perfection from His student. Never does he use discipline without good reason. When He does, it is always with a knowledgeable and careful hand. He is a careful guide, with safety always His main concern. He knows how to use pain to extend the bounds of pleasure. He is a mentor who can bring her to the edges of her envelope, and gently show her the inner courage to reach new heights. He is always open to communication and discussion, always ready to hear her wants and needs. He is patient, taking the time to learn her limits, and knowing that as her trust of Him grows, so will they. He never has to demand ritual behavior by her. She responds to him out the want of pleasing Him. Compliance comes from the wanting to please, not the fear of punishment. He understands the fragile nature of mind and body, and never violates the trust given to Him. He is secure enough to laugh at Himself and the absurdities of life. Courageous enough to accept assistance. Open minded enough to learn new things. Strong enough to grow. His tools are mind, body, spirit and soul with a little help from rope, paddle and blindfold. He understands that each partner gains most from pleasuring the other. And both of them know that love is the only binding that truly holds.

The collaring of tenasity

stopping by, beaming with pride and inner contentment ..... tacking a notice onto the wall ...... stepping back and rereading it yet another time...

As of July 6th, My tenasity has completed her training program and was offered a collar. I'm extremely pleased to announce that she accepted, making her Mine VT/RT. Any affronts aimed at her shall be considered to be equally directed at Me. She shall henceforth drop the protege from her name and be known as Barons tenasity. A small soiree celebrating the event will be held in the basement on Sunday, July 13th, 8pm EST.

The path unknown
to a destiny afar
~~ Unaware ~~
desires hidden
~~cloaked in the mist ~~
shadows of apprehension
clouding the view
as the thunderous sky
refuses the sun

~~ Suspicious soul ~~
desiring more
Seeking ~~ yearning ~~ drifting ~~
closer to the warmth

Passion luring
the ache within
~~ enticing ~~
like the sweet sting of a lover's kiss
A need well hidden
~~ emerging ~~
unfolding its dewy petals to the sun
~~ growing ~~
~~ persevering ~~
tenaciously defying the darkness
Unremittingly drawn
conviction ~~ preordained
intensity surpassing the fear
~~ deep within ~~
Forever discovering
the path ahead
as a child learning to walk

Devotion ~~ love ~~ complete surrender
A destiny perfecting
~~ with every breath ~~
intoxicating the soul

~~ Existence ~~
strengthened ~~ guided ~~ scrutinized
~~ A fortune ~~
bestowed ~~ Captivating the heart

~~~~ The path unknown ~~~~

For all those times You stood by me
For all the truth that You made me see
For all the joy You brought to my life
For all the wrong that You made right
For every dream You made come true
For all the love i found in You
i'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when i was weak
You were my voice when i couldn't speak
You were my eyes when i couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when i couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz You believed
i'm everything i am
Because You loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand i could touch the sky
i lost my faith, You gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and i stood tall
i had Your love i had it all
i'm grateful for each day You gave me
Maybe i don't know that much
But i know this much is true
i was blessed because i was loved by You

You were my strength when i was weak
You were my voice when i couldn't speak
You were my eyes when i couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when i couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz You believed
i'm everything i am
Because You loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining Your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies You were the truth
my world is a better place because of You

You were my strength when i was weak
You were my voice when i couldn't speak
You were my eyes when i couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when i couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz You believed
i'm everything i am
Because You loved me
