Bound by Anonymous

She smiled
Cuffs tightening about willingly presented wrists
Buckles securing each of them
Locks snapping shut with audible clicks that seemed to echo.
Ropes sprawled
Entwined, interlaced and knotted together
Web wrapping his body tightly
Limiting movement, even breaths.
He looked up, mostly immobile
Eyes beading with moisture
Glistening with longing
Beaming honesty
Truth
Again her lips curled into a smile,
Collar in hand
Slowly
Assuredly
Placed about his neck
He can barely quiver
Not looking away.
Finally it resonates
That simple sound
Metallic
Ominous
Deep with meaning
Full of importance
Complicated
So explanatory
It locks about him
Her signature of ownership.
Completely incapable of escape
So captured
Boundless bondage
Leaning over to ask
"How do you feel?"
Making sure he's ok
Her smile fades but for a moment
The time it takes to answer
That little pause
Full of truth
But simply he speaks
"Free"
