Tattooed
So hot...
So cold...
Open up,
Then close down tight
Can I really hear...
You
Thought the weirdness
Was behind me
I saw the words
Echo
Into the night
Sometimes...
When things
Make sense
People
Get scared
I want
What no one
Has ever gotten...
...in return
I’ll give you
All
That those
Have tried
To get
You make
My bohemian shine
Mandolin strums
In just a shirt
Signing loud
In the summer air
Flowing free...
Letting it
All hang out
Summer jam sessions
Jamming it in me
Just how I like
You free me
To myself
Cars passing by
I see you
I ask why
Why do you
Hide it
You turn
And let me
Read
The dark black
Tile letters
Branded to your side
Your ribs, your cage
You were clear
To let me
Know
See! Pointing
To the place
They laid above
The place
You kept
Your little blue bird
Locked away...
And the letters
Spelled, my name
Imprinted...
Like I’d ran
Myself up
Your body &
Layed down
At your chest
always
My favorite place to
Rest my head
Sinking right into
You
Anchors away!
You always
Knew
Just like that ink
I’d never
Really sailed
Off your shore
20 years later
I’m still docked
At your slip
You slip
In me
Again
And
Again
I can never
Get tired
Or stop
Wanting more
I’m stuck
You stick
I’m here
No more
Denying...
