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.....

Now just like a tattoo
You're the ink of an angel's wings
Wrapped around my heart
Leaving a desired scar.
This is such a passionate write.
Love is the blood in our veins!

Your words are both powerful and tender, living above the tedious world of pain and frustration. The strength you bring comes through your vivid language that paints such an eternal image...

~ Man this is nice. I feel the passion and love emanate from these stunning words. Makes me feel there still is hope in romance.

Beautifully written... The passion and emotion in this piece are what really make it jump off the page and grab my heart. You've used some great imagery and word choice to create a piece that flows beautifully, as love flows beautifully through the hearts of those who have found it.

One small thing...in the last line the word "desired" seems a little out of place. I know what you're saying, but the rest of the poem is so beautifully worded that I feel as though a word like "cherished" would be better to describe the scar of love. Just a thought, but overall, I loved this one! Bravo!

WOW! This is what every person wants to hear. Whether friend or lover. This is warm and brings to mind a relationship that engenders the most sincere of desire and thankfulness.

I LOVED this. The last stanza especially, it's so perfect I can't quite find the words to use. Desired scar...this will stay with me for a while. Fantastic work.

"I would recognize your words

The magnitude of those words is unbelievable.

"Now just like a tattoo

These words are so lovely and dead serious it breaks my heart. In a good way.
What a touch, what an inspiration.

Bravo!

hey Dale...here I am all comfy with coffee in hand ready to review :o)

first of all, I love the title of this poem...by using the word "tattooed" you show a permanence...also, the use of angel represents one's faith while the symbolism of the wings reflect something spiritual and magical.

"That is carved into my heart
Like initials in the tree bark"...I love the visual you use here...it shows the youthful side of love

"To seal the cracks along my emotions
Keeping histories tears
From flooding through"...your word choice here is very artistic and creative...very unique...the notion of a thought being able to heal is something inspired deep within you...your private thought so to speak

the use of "desired scar"...tells me you have moved past the pain and are able to look back on this moment in your life with a fondness...this poem is such an expression of love...ELOQUENTLY WRITTEN!
