Best Tattooing Poems

*The feline Texan way*

A clean coat of paint - on my nails
Red shade of lips - on my smile
Solid oak charms - on my wrist
Country music - around my core
Flattering eyes - a rustic shell.
Join me in a "Country Girls Tale"

Sacred Gratitude 
Rockin and Rollin inside my soul
Beckoning musical notes float within me
My heart surrenders and opens
Expanding

When the world outside dances in tension
Feeling bleak and unforgiving
I am grateful to receive
Simple nuances of pure magic

Breathing into my being
Allowing a journey to the place
Between here and now

Standing...

As shifting shadows merge within the night,
darkness devours disheveled silhouettes.
And daylight disappears, fading from sight;
as a splendiferous sun slowly sets. 
 
Twilight's crimson-colored clouds coalesce;
tinting the skies a cotton candy pink.
And yet, darkness descends nevertheless,
tattooing treetops with ebony ink. 

Sequined stars sparkle in the midnight...

Village in the Valley left behind, and then it's a fine find
Mountain in the making...in the dark alleys of my mind

You're a flashlight
In the night
You are a friend 
Till the end
Bite the bullet
You're the village in the valley
Ignite the regret 
I'm the flag on the...

See me in the shadows
I'm drowning in black ink
Slipping beneath the surface
Darkness informs the way I think

Within, a perverse pleasure
The tattooing of my mind
Words are my she devil
Her beauty makes me blind

She causes skin to tingle
Each word her form revealed
I reach and want to touch...

PROUDLY TATTOOED 

Proudly tattooed I am for you,
I saw you going to have one too,
My ink is stained,
For I never feigned,
To have one alone, we are a crew!

Only your eyes will bear on it,
And mine on yours, so it is fit,
Will we become addicted?
O what...

Look up to a sky full of stars
akin to trillions of diamonds.
And watch a gold doubloon moon climb
high amidst a starlit background.

Not a sound, just you and your thoughts,
all worldly distractions vanish.
And critiquing God's handiwork
your soul binds with humanity.

A sizzling shooting star burns bright,
unzipping a...

People have learned it is okay to be themselves
They no longer have to follow their parents or any dogma
They can make up their own religion, and no one cares.
People watch television twenty-four hours a day now. 

Children can be disrespectful to their parents,
And it is...

There is a new kid in town.
A new company.
Storefront with glass.
Headless Hands is what the marquee says.

A daycare center? Creative writing center? Nail salon?
Give up? I did. Headless hands tattoo.
Not sure I would want someone without a head tattooing me.

I am still pondering the why...

“Kafka Disordered”



Kafka disordered 
never complete
in himself 
burning stories 
fuel for Nero
dreams of you
reading him 
wrapt under 
the covers
of his last pages 
tattooing his voice
on your tongue

lips pass keys
legs entwined
love notes 
never run

Metamorphosis
the trial

Nurturing poets to produce.
My motivational, poetical writing, spoken wordress muse.
In leading me to the speak easy cafe site.
To cause me initiating rites to write.
I am tattooing you.
These lines of poetry view.
Her medicine- just write- she administers like a poetic prescription
A writers treatment for bloc- no...

She'll tell you Karma
is not her friend.
With fists clenched tight
she screams, "God is dead!"

Because she knows true heartbreak, 
she bleeds for one man.
Her insecurity spells loss
when damaging tides roll in, 

but he doesn't play executioner. 
He didn't set forth 
those damaging tides.

The first invisible hand I saw, was the hand that appeared 
in the banquet hall of the Babylonian palace, inscribing 
letters on the wall, with its fingertip, 

the letters, written by the invisible visible hand, on the wall 
may be an astonishing revelation, the inscription...

Her words were mumbled unprovoked and put him through the grinder
minced they were tearing apart they hurt like a dagger so he finally knew
where his heart was dismembered as it stood still one sentence then silence
No stream no consciousness emotion arrested a world destroyed broken...

Thinking about tattooing
"noitatneserP erocnE"
across my back.  
Install mirrors on the 
bedroom ceiling
so she sees it spelled 
correctly as I pray for her
only stopping when
Hallelujah reverberates 
down our halls.
Think I'll remove my filter
Let her see my censorship
Picturing a blurred spot
below my abdomen
intermix it with bleeps
followed...
