Tattoos
grotesque
taboo
enticing
wandering across her shoulder
or along her thigh
frightening and delightfully dangerous
decorating already perfect flesh
in permanent display
provocative
sensuous paths
followed by breathless fingertips
entirely captivated
by the
dark designs

Derek,
ReplyDeleteI think a poetry blog is a terrific idea--obviously, since I'm doing that, too. I like finding pictures on the internet (or my own) to add another dimension.I love the "voice" in all your poetry--it's introspective and original.
Sandy
love this :)
