My Tatoos

Drops Falling Drops leaving stains Drops Falling Am I the stain? Do I harbour the stains? Drops falling from above They seem to come in unison Why do I feel? Why do I feel not? The stains are not a bother Whether by me or the drops They are my tattoos I'll wear them wherever I go I'll wear them proud

Njeri - I can see now where Richard got his inspiration from...If someone sponsored a 'Tattoo' contest this would win first place hands down and yes, it is obvious that you 'wear them proud'...

As you have responded was how I took the poem. I had thought them to be metophorical tatoos.
