Tattooed Like Angel's Wings

  

I would recognize your words

Through time and space

Even if the voice was distorted

Simply by the compassion

In your verse

That is carved into my heart

Like initials in the tree bark.

 

Near or far is completely irrelevant

When it comes to the impact

 You’ve placed deep within

The walls of this fractured man

For all I have to do

Is think of all that is you

To seal the cracks along my emotions

Keeping histories tears

From flooding through.

 

Now just like a tattoo

You’re the ink of an angel’s wings

Wrapped around my heart

Leaving a desired scar.

this made me feel good and made me desire such a love.
When it comes to the impact

You've placed deep within

The walls of this fractured man ----------why does this awake my nurse-feelings? I feel good with it.

Excellent, warm and wonderful terrific poetry, hey Dale, triumphs once again.....

Dale,
How beautifully expressed are your sentiments of endearment for this special angel that is so memorable - each thought, each part, each memory so alive that all is tatooed in your spirit and heart. Your metaphors are wonderful, and it is a special tribute to someone very special!....one who seals the cracks along your emotions! That is powerful!!!!
Love, and Hugs,
Sheila

[OceanTropic]

Wow. This was beautiful.

And the way you wrote it... just beautiful. I could feel my own heart float away as I was reading this.

It reminds me of my boyfriend, how when I am with him, everything else is sealed away and im within these four safe walls. I loved this.

i know this feeling. it's finding something magic you cannot describe in someone. That something intrigues you.. pulls you in.. makes you want to know the one behind the words. Scars always feel irrelevant when faced with the possibility of true passion, even if it's seemingly impossible to obtain..

this is what i emote from your words anyway.. hope i'm not too off base!

[THE LOST ROSE]

Wow great piece. Tattoos are life long remembrance. I really enjoyed this piece.

There is nothing else to be said after these lines. Just finger snaps all around. Thanks for sharing.

I also agree that this was beautifully written. The ending, "You're the ink of an angel's wings Wrapped around my heart Leaving a desired scar" was my favorite part. I find this piece to be emotional (in a good way), and, as the goal of poetry should be to convey emotions, I'd say you've succeeded.
