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.

It's a precious piece and a fine tribute. The ink of our minds or a permanent tattoo, it has affects that linger, whether or not it's tangible, it's a living, breathing entity within iself that calls for our attention, and you have written it so well. Love this one Kee, you're brilliant! Bravo my friend, another outstanding one.

One of the most original structures I have ever seen, and it works so well! Good juxtaposition with the tattoo and the poetry, I'm sure that whoever this is for will see it as a fitting tribute!
