Ink Tells a Tale

Auburn locks drape shoulder haphazardly

Spread upon your sack

An unobtrusive vantage

You bear no covering and are at ease

Linens scattered all about you

Neither rhyme nor reason and amidst no burden

How it baffles me

How you perform on the inner

Yet it’s your shell which vexes most unexpectedly

Your skin adorned with ink

Ink I wield to tell a tale

We, one and the other, reveal our sagas employing ink

My branded Princess
