Admin notes:


1 There has, over the years, been some controversy about the validity of the relationship between Colm and Jade and of their backgrounds. With that information, please value the essays as you wish.


2 Between the years 1998 and 2008, a website existed that many of us learned from and sent people to, so they, too, could learn from. It was CastleRealm.com, owned by Lord Colm and his submissive, jade. It is widely thought that the site was created exclusively by jade to honor Lord Colm with love and it was possibly THE definitive source for information on D/s. Not just about BDSM, the site was primarily about the emotional connection between Dominant and submissive, with a heavy hand of common sense how-to thrown in.


3 According to the website, in 1999, jade died from complications of lupus, chemotherapy, and pneumonia, leaving her Lord Colm alone and bereaved. The site fell, leaving us without a wonderful resource. Over the years, I have written to Lord Colm many times, trying to help with getting Castle Realm back up, or to save the information on it. Unfortunately, without his jade, Lord Colm has been incommunicado in every way.


4 The articles posted here are done so pending that permission and should Lord Colm ever reappear and want the articles removed, I will do so immediately. We beg the favor of allowing the pieces to stay in the hopes that each, in it's intact state, serves to teach and enlighten as they were originally intended to do. While we do violate the copyrights of CastleRealm and her authors, we do o with the deepest respect.


5 Every article from the site will be cited with the author name "Castle Realm" for ease of location and collection and the author, either cited inside the document.

In Loving Remembrance of Jade


1970 - 1999
by Lord Colm


In the early morning hours of February 3, 1999, my precious Jade slipped unexpectedly from this existence into the next.  Her body, left weak and defenseless by a nearly year-long struggle against systemic lupus erythromatosus and months of debilitating chemotherapy, was unable to fend off a bout of pneumonia.   Within 24 hours of being admitted to the hospital for difficulty breathing from a respiratory infection, she was gone


She had fought her way back from near death, endured the ravages of chemo, and had finally managed to gain some control over this insidious disease.  She had gained most of her kidney function back, had completed chemotherapy, and we were making plans to get on with our lives together.  But in a cruel twist of fate, the weekend following her last chemo treatment she contracted an upper respiratory infection.  Her immune system, unable to rally against the invading opportunistic disease because of the effects of her chemo, simply could not defend itself.   The antibiotics were not working, and she was admitted to the hospital the morning of February 2.  None of us could have expected what would follow.  Despite valiant effort by the hospital staff, she deteriorated with unimaginable speed.  24 hours later, her heart fell silent. And she was gone.




Her last words to me were, "Don't worry, although I suspect you will anyway.   Please take care of you for us, Master.  I love You so very much." 




I will take care of me, my precious one.  For us.  Rest now.  Thank you for sharing your life with me, for loving me so beautifully.  My life has been blessed in sharing our little time together.  Thank you for making me more than I was and for showing me the meaning of unbounded love.  Thank you, little one, for opening my heart and shining your light on places I'd long ago locked away.  There you shall forever reside.  Good bye, my treasure.  For now. In time our souls will once again be reunited as they have been destined to be since time immemorial.  I love you, sweet Jade, more than I ever dreamed was possible.  Good bye.




He Takes Me Beyond




Beyond thought


Beyond pain


Beyond consciousness


Beyond shame.




He takes me beyond


All earthly fetters and chains


He fills up my world


Until nothing remains.




Beyond touch


Beyond sight


Beyond reason


Beyond right.




He takes me beyond


The prison fear brings


My spirit's released


And my heart has found wings.




Beyond fear


Beyond measure


Beyond flesh


Beyond pleasure.




He takes me beyond


The places I've been


Only to return me


And take me again...beyond.
