Tattoo

He swirls his sword across my skin

He walks on a thin line between pain and pleasure

Its pure...

Almost like an angel...

Dark winged.

Bold and deep...

It kills me when he stops

My heart bangs against my chest as my mind goes blank

Is this what love is?

The need for his sword against my sore skin consumes my judgment

Leaving me with nothing but...

Warmth?

The point digs a little deeper,

Taking my breath away...

I swallow his lingering scent in the air,

I don't want him to leave,

So he will stay within the four walls of my mind...

He finishes his art piece,

My eyes roll back in pure satisfaction

The ink has dried...

My beautiful rose garden is forever ingraved on these walls
