    Poem Commentary

    I never got that tattoo;  but I thought about it.

    Tattoo Of You

    When it started I flinched, and closed my eyes real tight,

     

    Imagining when it was over, you, would be in sight.

     

     

    First, two circular motions, one after another,

     

    Highlighted with dashes on top of one, and then top of the other.

     

     

    A little lower I felt the movement, that at first, I could only suppose;

     

    But when that was completed I was sure, that was the nose.

     

     

    When I asked to take a break, I was told “No!  Take a couple of sips.”

     

    “I’m on a roll right now;  and I’m about to start, on those beautiful luscious lips.”

     

     

    That was the part, that kind of stung a lot.

     

    You know, all that shading, in just one spot.

     

     

    He said, “Open your eyes I’m finished.  Now you can rest.”

     

    I rushed to the mirror;  and there you were blasted, right in the center of my chest.

    Ahhhh...I loved the ending. thought it was a really powerful way to end this. Fav line "and there you were blasted, right in the center of my chest." This could be metephorically as if this person is in your heart. I really loved reading this

    Hi Gracey, glad you liked this. This isn't written from actual life. This is a fictitious account of someone getting a tattoo of his girl.

    OMG! That was so touching. You have no idea how that made me feel. Poetry does, and not just mine, has a way, of making, hurt heal.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
