Ink
Meaning more
Then just adding
An “S”
Onto my I-N-K
S-K-I-N
Forever resting
Inviting spirit higher
Your presence
Your kiss
Your love
A permanent sharpie
Imprinted on
My flesh
Forever seeping
Deeply into
My lonely heart
Successively seeping
Into a cavernous well
Offering fresh water
Nourishing
Deadened roots
Back to life
Blossoming an
Aborted child
Lost long ago
Dripping ink
Inviting love’s
Sweet taste
Onto my tongue

No control Is being smashed Deep inside Crushing decades Of corrosiveness What can I control? Is haunting question From within I can control no one I can control no one’s thoughts I can control no one’s actions I can’t control People’s dislike of me Nor their hate for me If they love me If they…
