My Man of Faith

Tattoo my tongue with candy kisses
that pour into my heart like fine wine
Caress me dear wide as the atmosphere
With a red quilted touch in time

Sway with me as we dream
singing our favorite songs
Stay with me despite challenging
Teal times that go wrong

When I cry let us decide 
that empathy helps me heal
When I try to run and hide
You pull me close help feel deal

Oh my love how could you trust
My Sagittarius red fire ways?
It must be you I prayed for who
would be my man of faith.

Your writing is exceptional, capturing the essence of emotions and evoking empathy. In a world filled with an abundance of narcissistic individuals, it becomes crucial for us to exercise caution. I thoroughly relished the beautiful poem you crafted, Karen.

Hi Karen, You are blessed to have found your man of faith. When you find the “one” they will love you despite your shortcomings and flaws. You have penned exceptional lines. PS, My younger brother, nephew, and grandmother(I'm sure I have many more family members as well) are Sagittarians. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

I take it you are a Sagittarius.. I really liked the opening of your poem with tattoo my tongue.. you write very well and Its important people have empathy, but with so many narcissists around we need to be careful.. Enjoyed your poem Karen..

Yes I am a Sag. And so far I have been lucky to avoid narcissists though I have had sexual trauma. Really it made me appreciate good men more! Thanks for reading Silent One.
