love
Caught in lust's whirlpool -
pretzel entwined limbs
edge me into your
carnal cavity
whilst you taste thine's flesh.
Nail-induced scars
tattoo my back
as wanton yips
pervade night air.
Erotic
stimuli
mingle and
sculpt our
torso's
whole!

sad love,
A lovely woman in the night, forlorn,
holds in her hand a rose; pale is her face
against the backdrop of a storm just born.
Amidst loud thunder, she shows only grace.
She wears on her left arm the picture of
a heart. Indelible, it’s a tattoo,
the emblem of enduring faithful love.
Dark wings surround her, for to earth she flew.
She is an angel, but a fallen one,
forced out of heaven gate, for she could not
resist a man! The other angels shun
her now because a mortal’s love she sought.
Her paradise she’s lost. Has her revolt
been worth it? Toward her streaks a lightening bolt!

loss, love,
I thought I knew a thousand songs
The rhythm of a million cuts
The beat of a hundred wrongs
But the refrain that lingers is not as I believed
Not the drama nor the joy
But loss
A hollow echo of life’s tattoo
I thought I knew a thousand songs
But really there’s only one
And love is all, she said.

appreciation, love,
Crescendo heart of cranberry sparks passion
So hot my mind takes a hazel heat thrashing
Melting silhouette on my brain
A love tattoo of the insane
Your scent is like lint on peach pillow
I cling to it for makes me mellow
Stealing your tshirt for my clothes
Acting really hurt if you won’t let it go
I drink your spirit like red wine
Could never fear it you are kind
Forever my lover you are mine
From this day forward in time

Stone Mountain should die today.
Tomorrow would be fine.
But that raft of traitors eulogized, defaced
Would remedy an abuse of time.
The betrayers that love it still
Are awash from the American current.
The tattoo of turncoats on that hill
Long abuse our country's spirit.
Stone Mountain must die fast and sound
By dynamite, acid, or hammer.
That sad rock knows its whole bestrewn
Will solve shame to God that raised it.
It was granite first, bigoted statement second
An emblem of lawless, unresolved Reconstruction.
The stone cries out: Fuel the worst in men?
Release me now, come fast my full destruction.

passion,
Each limb plays to the dynamics of motion
in static vibration the virgin flower
awaits cravings within the tattoo touches
and surrenders to her animal instincts.
Wild fingers douse her with raptures of pain
tricking off curves with aspiring lines
provoking flood gates to drip with quivers
as the lycan-beast over power's her whim.
Together they are flamed with insane desire
bursting, buckling with energy and passion
toasted with love enjoys her total submission
reaching out for the skies in her moans and cries.
Within the split second her potentials change
for she bursts to burn to the fluid kinetics:

Zeekie and Mildred were buds.
Neither thought the other a dud.
Friendship so true.
They each had a tattoo
As symbols of undying love.

boyfriend, i love you, love, magic,
I was thirteen when I found out I was magnetized by your style
Those candid smile, I long to see
I can't wait the day that you and me
Will meant to be
I don't know if it is called love and affection
All I know I was in stunt in the same motion
Like of every girl needs an attention
From love spell to sweet combination
I hate myself for falling like a statue
Days of you love me and you love me not, I count seven two
Those days were innocent of melo dramatic tattoo
Oh boy, breath of love I knew; I'm breathing for you..

Who resembles you?
A drunken night
Or a jealous star
A colored full moon
Or shy cottage
Who resembles you?
A virgin lark
Or blond flower
Who resembles love?
Believing in you
Who resembles a soul?
Living in you
Who resembles a heart?
Pulsing for you
Who resembles a shadow?
Walking beside you
Who resembles a mirror?
Reflecting your charm
All narrations of the past were illusion
Not resembling you
All butterflies of the world
Were a tattoo in your hands
Not resembling you
All perfumes of the world
Were a wine in your lips
Not resembling you........

art, beautiful, break up, feelings, love hurts, miss you, remember,
On her right arm a beautiful blue tattoo comes alive
But her face holds a sadness that crushes what her arm strives
In my eyes her perfection was only missing by a sweep of smiles
But if only I had looked much closer I would have seen
That the beautiful flower had a yellow stain within
A message of ‘forget me not’ is all she’s been saying.

"CRYSTAL"
The beauty I am came at a large cost.
Sadness fills my heart for the love I lost.
The tattoo on my face is a mark of his love.
His love disappeared from me on wings of a dove.
This beautiful ring he placed it on my finger.
Said his love for me would never linger.
As he looked at me and walked away.
My heart was broken from that very day.
I sit her all alone with nothing to share.
There's no one to love me and no one to care.

life, poetry,
I see something within something,
That's been unrecognized?
You've been cut so deep all that's,
Lift is the scars to be healed?
You have so much passion in you,
I see this everywhere, it's written all,
Over you like ink that leaves a tattoo?
Yes I know your pain is real feels,
Like your heart is shredded into,
A thousand pieces as you feel like,
You will never recover?
One day all the pain you feel,
"Right now" will go aways you will,
No longer hurt you'll be free and learn,
To love again, feel again, most of all,
Have peaces within your soul?
If you shall cry it will be alright it's tears,
Of feelings that been over looked?

girlfriend-boyfriend, love, romance, teen, wedding, wife, heart, heart, love, i love you,
I love you every hour and every day
Our love is a goodie-to-shoes that can’t disobey
It’s also a dragon; whoever tries to slay
Will face hell with no hands to pray
I’ll love our love anytime, any day
We’ll walk on this earth with the right of way
Our love is for real lovers, no child’s play
Me and you, we are they
Who’s talk about to love this way.
I love our love, most of all I love you
Without you my heart tells lies; which is never true
I’ll hold you so close, make your heart a tattoo
Your heart can never be outdid to outdo
You love me a lot, I love you too
I love our love, how bout you?

Flower’s heart flutters
Bees pass off the love letter
Bed remains fertile
Alone together
He pulls out his sharpened knife
Names tattoo a tree
Current pulling hard
Water pulling you under
What’s the river’s name?

Tattoo Charm Bracelet
My skin, a pure canvas before
No design beckoned me to explore
To be etched in the flesh, I deplored…
More mature, this great art challenged harm
Grand crucifix, my son’s heart, on my wrist, not arm
These jewels I’ll wear, linked in ink, each one a charm…

Ka
A mighty wind...
That destroys everything in its way
Creating its own way
Our life
Our fate
Our love
All must yield at its will
Our winds have collided
My Ka is now yours
And now yours is mine
You're an imprint in my heart
A tattoo that will never fade
My passion for you
Reaches beyond the stars
No need for the moon
For you are more than enough
I love you
And for this
Ka I thank

family, love,
If l were ever to get a tattoo
I know exactly what l would get
Small yet with mammoth meaning
One without regret
My husbands favourite number is six
My sons is two
Mine is eight
So this is what l would do….
My tattoo would be as follows:
6 + 2 = 8
That simple equation says “everything “for me
My life, my reason ….my cherished family
If not a tattoo
Perhaps on my headstone it will be!

holocaust,
No one makes it through life whole without the
Branding: marks, scars, tattoos that testify
To sorrows endur’d, bitter pills swallow’d;
Some say the inner invisible ones
Wounds deepest. My tattoo on the forearm
Pierces through to my soul like a sliver
Infected, pussy, smarting constantly—
I was sub-human, thought expendable.
“Schneller! Schneller!” Under blinding lights bark
Camp guards as we stumble blindly, free from
Cattle car stench upon arrival. My
Precious Gretel taken away at once.
Workers to the left, showers to the right
I’d die in your place, Love, one-thousand times!

allegory,
Nobody ever know why
Why love fades away or die
The reason why the titan does collapse
But isn't everything carrying the cross of time that lapse
Hence why do humans die and disappear into memories beautiful
And the sunny day changes to moony nights and then to another so colorful
So is love, when time comes and fate had decreed that it fades
Then surely it will, either in a year, more a couple or in decades

My
Love
For you
So sublime
My prolonged yearning;
Fond dreams of you, saccharine sweet
Lingering; embedded like a tattoo in my heart
If coveting you is the greatest of sin, I'd gladly give hostages to fortune

absence, loneliness, lonely, lost love, love, marriage, nostalgia,
Lately, a kiss is a long lost wish.
We've both forgotten how to care.
So just in case you never remember,
I will tattoo "love" behind your eyelids
so you will see it when you sleep
and forget the ghosts that became us.
I should sneak into your darkest crevices
and replace the webs with words.
Forget the complicated cursive strokes.
I will rewrite us in Braille, in
rounded words that were meant to feel.
I will reconstruct us in the language
of the Hopi, the way we spoke when
the past was never, and love was all
we could ever see.
