Tattoo Promises

 

Tattoo Promises

 

Read these words now inked of a passionate verse

From miles away, beneath clouded silver linings

Far beyond every enchanted moon glow vista

Phrases of undying devotion in eternal fonts

Styled by a hand now longing your touch

Tattoo promises melodically whispered

Breathless devotion in sonnet sighs

Forevermore holding tightly your

Affectionate kisses dripping

Of sweetest pure honey

Unto my wanting lips

In poetic phrasing

Written entirely

Upon the walls

Of this my

Beating

Heart

 

Author's Note

Thank you for reading

Okay, so what relevance is the shape....hell I don't know, I guess I just wanted to put my slant on it. :)

I chuckled when I read your note, Jack. I thought you had an intelligent reason for the structure of the poem! :) As usual, this is a well-written piece and the following word pairs are brilliant:

passionate verse, eternal fonts, sonnet sighs...

I was just hoping the last five lines were as poetically strong as the others. Nevertheless, it's still beyond what I could have written. Well done, Jack!

The wording here is so lovely, Jack! I like the shape - it makes an already great poem more interesting, and controls the pace at which the reader receives your words.

Never get a chick's name as a tattoo. Bad mojo for the next girl and if life has taught me anything its there's always another girl. (God I hope my girlfriend doesn't read this)

Thanks BR. Always a laugh follows reading your reviews.
