I hope no one minds… I know it looks like artwork (because it is) but I would like the thoughts of those with more poetical leanings to take a look… so that’s why this is here.
Now… I can’t stop you from commenting… but I’d like to get a couple more done before y’all begin turning critical… which I will welcome.
I think there’s something here worth doing… but I do trend toward delusional…
Happily, I might add.
At any rate, here’s what I’ve done with one of my poems… and am considering… god help me (and y’all)… doing with many more (I hope with much improvement… especially to the lettering).
The poem… because the ummm… lettering…
My hands do seem to always go
to ink before my eye…
caressing arc of pointed toe
up through the curve of thigh…
to touch the tatted memories
in lines along the arm…
to wrap the back, to clutch and seize,
to hold and never harm…
but hunger of my hands demand
that they full need replace
and make the way for lips to land
and place to rest my face.
