Bonding and bondage, how they relate


Ties



By way of
parceling goods
and tying knots
one learns
with passing tries
what not to knot
and how to
fasten things
safely

make slipknots
and easily
released bonds

there has to be
a means of hasty retreat
should trust fail

no silken ropes
can hold
where the heart
is not first held
in the thrall
of mutual devotion

if you are ready
you may be restrained
in freedom's
careful bonds

I like the metaphor of ropes and knots dear Teddy!
Welcome to the bay!
Love, Zoya
