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. :)

You have written another poem that is definitely one of my favorites. I like the format, as well.

[Jack...]

Thanks Brittany, I am thrilled you enjoyed this.

Impressive form. I like the concept of the eternity of words especially those etched on the heart.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much X.

If only lovers were as permanent as tattoos...a wonderful statement of devotion, and living in those romantic moments that one wishes would never, especially in the knowledge that they may never happen again. Beautiful work Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks Steve...only memories I think last forever

[Tina Louise UK]

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Tia.

A good read Jack, as I've got many tat's myself it was refreshing that you understand

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend. Once I though I saw a puddy tat....hey I think I'll tweet that. :)

[Raymond Federle]

Very nice Jack! I have ink myself...my ex-wife's and children's Zodiac signs on my right inner forearm. Well done my friend.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much Raymond. I have ink too but I use it to write poetry. :)

[Emerald Seas]

Great read, Jack. And... not sure if you intended it to be read either way, but for some foggy reason I felt like trying to read it from bottom to top, too. Works both ways! Nice structure, visually interesting as well as outstanding content, as usual.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my good friend...you can read it however you like regardless of how I intended it be read.

[Emerald Seas]

Sensitive to tattoos right now :) I mentioned ages ago that I would get a tat once my first book was published... darn kids, they keep reminding me and wanting to know when I'm going to get 'inked'! Lol... I keep putting it off (although I have a Pinterest board full of ideas)

[Jack...]

Good luck with that my friend. I'm thinking that "Jack" inside of a bright red heart would look kind of nice. Just saying.

[Emerald Seas]

Bwahahaha :-) i'll create a temp tat just to try that out. I'm sure the hubs will be thrilled! ;)

Permanently marking my bod with SoS for the book title is scary enough! But it's about what I want... and not what anyone else thinks of this whole thing. Not sure what I'll finally decide yet, but it will be unique and meaningful to me on several levels :)

I loved the structure Jack.

A tattoo is forever, it can't be undone once it has been inked on to our skin. Tattoo Promises is like a promise that can never be undone. I loved the title, it is very fitting and the story in this poem speaks volumes.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Sye...the problem is when you don't keep those promises that we have inked into another's skin...then permanent doesn't sound so good.

[DIVYA]

A tattoo is like a prayer for permanence of a worthy love. Like enshrining it forever. A true treat for the eyes as well as the heart. Thank you for the RR. Applauding your art.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Divya.
