Fleeting
In bed
their tattoos met
and bled.
Ink-kissed
lovers, knowing
this tryst –
night-born,
would live; would die
with dawn.
– Ryan Stone
With thanks to FT Ledrew for introducing me to the Musette form.

Super sexy and hot. Nicely done. And thanks for rekindling my deep desire to ink myself, well not myself, to get inked. I love water colour tats but my Mexican says he’ll divorce me, lol. He’s a bit conservative when it comes to tats. I want the South African saying for empathy “Strongs” inked somewhere, likely on my wrist. I was also thinking of an anchor. Are you inked vecino?

Covered in them. This poem is a little biographical. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. As for tattoos – personally I love them but not at the risk of a happy marriage π

Somehow I stumbled back here.. Fleeting – is really a word I have used a lot and this poem resonates with this feeling.
Personification is superb and the expected melancholia congeals my veins… sigh..
