New Poem!

2025/8/30 Edited to

... Read moreThe concept of tattooing as a metaphor for deep and lasting emotional bonds is beautifully expressed in the poem with phrases like "My skin," "My heart," and "Bloodstream" symbolizing layers of connection that go beyond the physical. Tattoos, often permanent marks on the skin, can represent memories, love, pain, or significant life experiences. In poetic terms, this permanence highlights a desire to create relationships that are enduring and transformative. This poem reflects on how these bonds are "Destined from before," suggesting fate or a predetermined connection, enhancing the emotional weight. The speaker's wish "to become in every way" part of the other person conveys a yearning for unity and inseparability, reinforcing the theme of deep intimacy. Engaging with poetry in communities like #poetry, #spokenpoetry, and #poetrycommunity allows readers and listeners to find resonance and shared human experience. Spoken poetry events bring such expressions to life, making the emotions tactile and vivid. Tattoos carry unique personal stories that fuel creativity in poetry and art. They serve as a canvas on which individuals etch their identities and relationships. This poem invites readers to consider how emotional marks, like tattoos, shape and color our lives. By reflecting on this metaphor, we can appreciate how art and human connections intertwine, offering solace and understanding. Whether you are a poet or a poetry lover, exploring themes of permanence and connection deepens appreciation for the art form. Think about your own 'tattoos'—metaphorical or literal—that mark important moments or relationships in your life. Sharing these narratives in poetry communities enriches our collective experience and opens pathways to empathy and healing.

I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so
