Tattoo

She dwells deep within me

Deep, deep inside of my

Wallowed conscience 

My tattoo  

Is a mirror

Of my Eulogy 

Pricked 

To my Qualms

My Tattoo

Is the pages of

A Chronicle

Fiddled with 

Fainted voices 

My tattoo 

Is ace of Plagues 

Picturesque and 

Hatched in rubicon

Undeniably Irrevocable 

My tattoo 

Is a crowded Cymes

with estranged Peduncle 

Devoid of 

Ornamental Appeal 

My tattoo 

Are Memoirs

Of Infidelity

Ingrained in

Embroidered pages

My tattoo

Is a Statuette

Of a veiled woman 

Wallowing 

In infinite decadence

My tattoo 

Are tribal effigies 

Reminiscent of

Ancient Juju dolls 

An epitome of

Scar and blemish

My Tattoo

Are vogue words

Of Anecdotes

Enshrined in my bosom

My tattoo

Are squalor of

Catkins and Roses

She dwells deep within me

Deep, deep inside of me

Reviews

[Rob Santana]

Deep emotions you've released. Tattoos are permanent just as personal experiences can be. Good write.

[Dwayne Weweh]

Appreciate it

[Tate Morgan]

This feels like it is about a lost love that has tattooed herself on your soul

[Dwayne Weweh]

So true. Lost love and broken promises. Appreciate your comment

There is nothing more permanent than the markings left behind from a love so deep and pure....

Wonderfully penned
