Inked

I'd like to map my body.
Have it scrawled with darksome ink.
Covered with touching tendrils of words and art and spirit.

To decorate and celebrate all that is within me.
My heart and soul to wear outside, exposed and seen and raw.

Delightful pain and scraping point.
Hands quick and soft and talented.

Beautiful, powerful and melancholy.
A reminder of who I am and what and where I need to go.

Magnetic forces draw me in. Coercing, whispering truths.
To decorate and celebrate and ink it all for nobody but me.

I have lived and loved books and writing since I was small.

Living In Rhymes.

I don't think in music. I don't think in lines. I don't think in canvases. No. I think in rhymes. I don't speak in eloquence. I don't speak in prose. I don't speak in coloured tongue.

Doodlewords

My poems are just doodlewords, They don't take long to write. I observe the world around me, By ear, by nose or sight. By then my brain has started, To note a line or two.

Self Empowerment

Let me draw on you, Sketch on you, Paint on you, Picture it on you. I want to look at every inch of your perfection, A perfection I can only dream of touching.

There Aren't The Words.

I don't know how to put my words down with ink and script. It's like my pen has all run dry, it's suddenly tight-lipped. I try to make me literate, to tell you how I feel.

More Then Words

It's all just words, And it's all just ink. But it's really much more, A lot more come to think. It's letters and sentences, It really is my heart. Writing is my future, My end and my start.

You drag your needle through my skin, Makes me feel alive, Feels like a sin. You drag the needle here and there, Round my ankle, down my foot, That's it - just here.

@Odd thank you!

Really love this 👏👏👏

@misslittleDHP thank you! I am about to get my second tattoo. It's the first with words and I just imagined what it would be like to cover yourself in your thoughts. Literally! Xx

That's deep

@clay22 I'm not really sure where it came from. Started typing and it all spilt out!
