Etched Upon the Place You Call Home

A Poem About Tattoos

Mysterious and Commanding

Demanding my Attention

With Every Color,

You are Engulfed By

With Every Crisp Line,

You are Traced By

Your Mysteriousness Deludes My Thoughts

Every Mark Creates Another Memory

Another Reminder

Which Will Be Forever

Etched Upon the Place You Call Home

The Innocence that Once Existed

In the Bare Nakedness

Now has Dissipated into Thin Air

Forever Forsaken and Lost

Only You Command Attention

With Every Passerby

You are Eager to Engage One's Mind

Vivid and Discrete Imagery

You Left Your Mark

Stole My Innocence

Now and Forever

On This Canvas Which is

The Place You Call Home
