Our Skin

Just a poem for someone who inspires me

The Chair

It sits there

Awaiting my presence

The Artist 

He looks at my canvas

With perceptive eyes 

The Body

Pale like snow 

Ink would make you glow

The Detail

Eyes so deep 

The needle lost in time

Blood Rush

Red with the needles touch

Cheeks blush with pain and pleasure

The Session

Long hours of severe pain

Artistic gain all in your name

The Tattoo

A portrait of you

The description of your beautiful face

The Message

Forever within

A constant reminder of what has been

and

what's to come

Poetic Love

&

Appreciation

I'm a canvas and you my inspiration

Author's Note

A piece on someone who has poetically inspired me.
Ink is permanent, think of it as a landlord always at your door knocking for rent. If it's pretty you don't mind. If it's a mistake like a one night stand on your behind, God help you find an explanation out of that one. :P

This is how I feel every time I get inked. Some display their art pieces on their walls. I on the other hand display it on my skin. Absolutely beautiful take on the entire process. I constantly ache for the intimate feeling between artist and canvass. Thank you for sharing. :D

[KeeD]

Thank you I really love that you can relate to that intimate feeling of getting inked to this piece. It's those moments, that make me write such pieces.

[ROXANE DORSEY]

a portrait of your beauty is all one needs when lonely and can't get to love. thanks for the lovely poem.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

I like the buzz sound of this one...the lighter words to express the statement and then the enveloping lines to etch them in deep...you combine both types of art...and this is visible in the lines...and the inspiration helps...does it not...and with your Author's note...there is no going back...like a thin line between love and hate...

[Melissa]

I like this. It's cool and different.

[Pryde Foltz]

Wow. I really liked this one. I myself have no tattoos, a blank canvas for time to add a road map.

[KeeD]

Same here, blank canvas.. i really like how you said for time to add a road map.. :) that's profound.

[Dye]

I hope whoever inspired this...loved it as much as I do. I really like the author's note about "ink is permanent", I would imagine that your inspiration has left a permanent mark on you. Very nice. Plus I enjoy tattoos so that just made me love this poem even more.

[KeeD]

At the time of writing this I did think she was inspiration to me but like every failed tattoo you regret it later on in life. Thank you for the kind review :D I love looking at tattoos but i've never gotten inked myself as yet.. I believe my canvas isn't quite ready, need far better upkeep to get pieces of art to display on my body.

[Dye]

That's to bad, nice poem regardless. I am filled with regret..lol Guess I should of waited to make better decisions before I tainted my canvas.

[KeeD]

It's more than just the tattoo though its how you wear it :D i'm sure a girl as pretty as you wears it with confidence.

[Dye]

You sure know how to say the right things. Spoken like a true poet. :)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

I had to read this again and i was sighing by the time i read The Body Pale like snow
Ink would make you glow (contrast against my bruised brown skin)

I love that line so much

[SHEEMA HUQ]

this is so cleverly structured and written, I enjoyed

[Mitch]

I really like this piece because it is very unique and different.. I like the mood and the way it flows... Nicely written..

[DarkRainbowPie]

This is brilliant! I love the structure, absolutely love it, it's so unusual, it draws me in, captures my interest immediately. It's really...just...brilliant, haha, I love the topic aswell, something that you never see pieces written about. I.Love.This.Poem. Haha x'D

[KeeD]

Haha 'aww that's adorable :D Thank you.
