Loves Tattoo

Your love taints my body and runs thick through my skin

Sometimes your love hurts like growing pains that bloom into rose kisses in the end

A pain that hurts good like a delightful plate of sin

Your love comes in many different colors, designs, and scales for everyday of the week

I remember the first time we touched, reason being I was weak

I wanted to feel a new pain something loud but at the same time discrete

People judged our love asking what happens if the feeling isn’t the same when your seventy

Well at least I can say I experienced love lips ever so gently on me 

Permanently wonderful every time they see you they see me

We get compliments pertaining to forever

I want your love all over me

A love story where the writer spilled the ink

Ink representing love replacing my blood

I can feel you penetrating my skin to get to my heart

And I let your love cover me forever without even stopping to think

p.s. your love was my favorite tattoo…

The strength of emotion in this piece is deep and layered with a vibrancy that is heightened with the "ink" theme. I really enjoyed reading this one, great title, creativity written. blessings, lynn
