poetry & short story author – artist & nature lover
lines of love flow freely
from her inked quill
there upon the whitewashed walls
surrounding his scarred heart
tattooing there
hope and visions
for her lover to perceive

Whenever I read the word tattooing, I recall the scent of tattoo ink, and it just makes me all happy inside.

Probably better to say I want to engrave love upon his heart using my pen than a pocket knife, right??

This is beautiful. Very concise and tender in a way. I like how it’s not inked upon the heart itself, perhaps allowing it to heal from the scars already there. Offers a very supportive and caring side.
Excellent, really like this!
