Tattoo.

Tattoo.

A Poem by Lilith
"

Each one tells a story, it shows you where I have been or where I will be in the years to come.

"

Skin, delicate and soft

The needles pierce, ink flowing like rivers of senseless pain

Only leaving you wanting more, just one more stroke of an artist’s hands,

Buzzing all around, making your body shake with anticipation as ink ceases to flow

Thinking out loud or secretly if the artist captured the painting just as you imagined in your mind’s eye,

Only to reveal the true raw emotions of the skin, a shield or a life’s story one can never tell,

The many different hues and shapes that make a soul stand alone in the vast majority of man kind

To wipe away the ink left behind, like long forgotten memories that brought pain or happiness

This is me, my soul and all.

Some - a few - take it to a different level. Each has meaning beyond just the freedom or whim. For those few - it's in the eyes if you take the time to look ...not a word is needed.
