Names In Blood

Folder: 
Poetry

Blood runs deep between the lines ripped asunder.

Gushing red.

Razors gleam in the fading light.

Possessed love, carved into sinning skin.

The letters forever tattooed across my stomach.

Words evermore branded into his leg.

Exchanging subliminal pain.

Bleeds nicely.

Cuts deep.

Scars eternally.

Burns forever.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My reaction to my boyfriend's carving my name in a heart onto his leg. Freaky and sick, I know.

We all manage to carve something in blood. Maybe its a name, maybe its someone else's. Sometimes it is a legacy of self.

This was gruesomely real, yet poignant and feral.

A permanacy of sorts is written in blood, etched in pain. The tribute in a sense ownership of spirit, yet in another the mating of souls.

Like your style. ~Tim
