Writers’ Lives

 

akira{J}

Submission is the purest impeccable never ending phenomena that I hold dear to my life, as I feel that if I am no more able to show and live it, something inside of me would have been ripped away from its natural form and foundation.

 

Bijou Shell

The submissive part of my personality has been dormant most of my life, mostly because of the pressure to conform. I am a muse for an influential musician from Texas. Most of my poems are about him.

 

Boudicca

Even though I first got involved in BDSM nearly 20 years ago, I am still 'finding my feet', so to speak. I was 'dormant' for a very long time until last year, when I began a hopeful search for a compatible partner. After a few false starts, some of them not too pleasant, I met my current partner … I wrote “The Kiss” after our first r/l meeting.

 

Bruce McRae

Canadian-born Bruce McRae has had over 120 poems published in Canada, England, United States, Ireland and Wales. A singer-songwriter as well, he has written over 1300 songs. Currently residing in London, he is a frequent performer on the music and poetry circuit there.

 

Cicero

Cicero’s poems are dedicated to his great love naiad, whose love and friendship are treasures beyond price.

 

Diane Pietkiewicz

I am not a submissive, nor as I have discovered, am I a Dominant. I am just a woman who loves the thrill of giving and receiving pain, mentally and/or physically in my intimate relationships, so my work is not truly about BDSM, but is flavored by it.

S. Hartwell (Llewtrah)

I'd harboured and suppressed kinky thoughts from a very young age, but didn't know anything about BDSM until I met my current partner in 2002. My ex-hubby tried to coerce me into being a top which made me uncomfortable and unhappy so I've had to overcome some bad memories. I'm more of a bottom than a submissive; I'm described as a bit too "bouncy" and independent to be anything else!

 

Kindred

My name is Liz and I am 21 years old. I am a bi sub, with not much experience but what I have had was very good and I would love to get more involved.

 

Kree

Michael Montgomery aka Kree, is a single parent living in the Panhandle region of the Gulf Coast of Florida.
"Being dominant is an attitude and being a presence. My feelings about the life and challenges of a submissive are as follows:  A submissive's life is one of questions and doubts followed by instants of crystal clarity of purpose.  As the submissive grows and finds the guidance of a partner, the periods of questioning and doubting, are gradually minimized as clarity takes hold.  Questions and doubts never leave, but they find a home to run to for guidance and understanding."

Ernesto Sarezale

I do not consider myself submissive (my boyfriend would tell you I'm quite bossy) and most of my poetry does not deal with that topic explicitly. However, I am interested in alternative sexualities and in my poems I try to deal with the paradoxes and complexities of sexual intimacy.

shullie

I am shullie, the r/l sub/slave partner/wife of Loops. I can only say that I have really been in this life style for just over 2.5 years. Before that, like many others I only had the fantasies, which I successfully hid for many years. I finally accepted myself and began to look for others when I was 38 via the Internet. Till then I had thought of myself as either just weird or a freak. I have written poetry and short stories for as long as I could remember. Words & books being my escape and salvation at times.

 

slave C
I've probably been submissive all my life, conditioned by a Victorian style upbringing, a Convent education which left me with the image of God as a dominant male ready to punish every transgression of obedience, and a first encounter of bi-sub -sexuality when as two ten year olds, my best friend tied me to her bed for examination and cure in the name of Doctors and Patients!  It all went sub-surface for many years and re-emerged about 15 years ago and I have not looked back since.  I have been lucky. Married to my Master, I am loved, cherished and dominated in one relationship.

 

Durlabh Singh

Durlabh is a poet / artist based in North London and has been published widely in magazines, anthologies, chapbooks and on the net. He has had four books of his verse also published, the latest being: “CHROME RED” (ISBN 1898030464). Durlabh says: “Softness will open new dimensions of being. He / she reaches out to the universe, to the people, to the skies, to the clouds. Colours become more vibrant, feelings become larger and there is a greater depth in living. New poetry is born then. Being a 'softy' is not so bad after all.”
