One of my favorite poems

One of my favorite poems
is the one I always write for you
but not in paper
with ink and pen

It's the one I tattoo on your back
with soft bites and kisses
and my venomous tongue

It's not the kind that I could publish
or even share with someone else
it's yours, and only yours

I don't think I could ever write again
something as beautiful as that poem
which is almost as ensnaring
as the poem you write for me
when I look in your eyes

And so we go
through life
sometimes broke
sometimes sick
sometimes both

but just remember you carry
that poem I left on your back
just like I carry that beautiful image of us
looking in our eyes
deep inside my heart

This is my favorite poem. Love it, love it, love it!

Why is it that everytime I read your words, it is I who crave to be the one who is tatooed with bites and kisses? Your words transport me away from this computer, away from this mundane life--into serendipity. While in this serendipitous state I can almost feel the brush of lips on my back, and see your eyes staring into mine.

Like the poem as well, but did you really need to use the Scorpions cover art? Love at first sting baby.
