Canvas

I am getting inked

This is my first

It will be with me as I go through the years

The needles punch into my skin, adding detail

Careful, for it mustn't smear

This is not just ink

It is my love for you

This is not just a word

A meaning for me

I go back to the moment we first met

The trance I was in, I am in it again

Your eyes

Your touch

Your everything

Let them tattoo into me forever

I will think about you until my heart beats

I will talk about you until my voice lasts

I will write about you until my bones crack

You are my everything

Bhakth (my son’s name)

That is my tattoo
