tattoos

Old stories become better with time.

                              Tattoos

My pretty lady friend with tattoos on her back and legs. She asked me. Do you like my tattoos? I smiled and I told her. I have four tattoos and each having purpose and meaning. I believe if you mark your body. Do it for logical reasons.

She gave me a evil smile and she told me. I agree dear Poet. My tattoos have meanings. She lifted her black skirt up a little. She had a rosy red lip on her right side of her firm butt. She told me. This is a target for the lucky fellow I allowed to see. She pulled up the skirt higher showed me her flowers and rising vines from her pretty feet to stomach. She smiled and whispered. The vine wandered to sweeter and better places.

She put her legs upon my legs. She pulled her skirt up, moved her red panties to the side. A small heart with my name on it. She told me. This one is for my favorite Poet. Do you like the new tattoo? I kisses her and teased the small heart with soft touch. I told her. She honored me.

She told me. You are the only one, I allow to see my angel wings. You demand little from me and you accepted my bad attitude. I get paid to dance for strangers  and work for tips. You accepted me and you make me feel beautiful. Not dirty. You bring me  German wine and  French chocolate. You bring me goat milk and fresh bread to me to make me feel happy. We drink the strong coffee and we sit till dawn waiting for the sun by the sea. You are my kind friend. Who never complained.

I reached my arms around her and embraced her. I whispered to her. Few Angels upon the earth. Us imperfect people are doing the best we can. We will be okay my beautiful love.

It is an amazing story. I love how you conveyed the message. You never shouted out that hey people, this is the message. It was much more subtle.
"You bring me  German wine and  French chocolate. You bring me goat milk and fresh bread to me to make me feel happy. We drink the strong coffee "--beautiful!

Thank you for reading and the comment. Love is based on care and concern. We remember the simple things. Holding hands and the simple gifts of love.

emotional, and intense, expressive and vividly described. As personal as it is, it is very real and relatable.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Vito. I appreciate the comment.

what a sweet write of compassion and understanding in a friendship/love.. showing no contrary judgment and being accepting of another for the unique person that they are ,rather than for what they do or look like.. great pen!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Fran. I tell people. Be kind to all people. Never know what they did or suffered.

[Fran Marie]

[Traci]

A beautiful tale of love and acceptance. This is truly a gem, a piece of art with purpose and meaning, dear poet.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Traci for reading and the comment. Love should accept the good and and the bad.

[Traci]

You are welcome, John and absolutely right. Unconditional love is acceptance, in all aspects of life. So good to be reading your words again, and I look forward to catching up on your brilliant art, filled with so much wisdom. Much love, dear poet.

[Emily]

A wonderful tale of sensuality and remembrance. I love the revealing aspects of the poem, both literal and figurative. Great write, Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Emily. I appreciate the comment.

A love story of sorts, not the kind one expects to usually read, this is more of acceptance and tantalizing recollections. Your stories are always so fascinating Coyote, I know you haven't always lived a charmed life but you my dear poet, are indeed charming.

I was a Soldier for 15 years. Sad people always came to me. I made them laugh. Some people see life with a different vision. Better to laugh than cry. All of us need a friend. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Frieda P]

That's evident in reading your poetry John and I so concur, laughter is so much better at healing our woes.

[KAREN]
