Written on Your Skin

I write my name
on your skin
in touch
printed there
in time
you embrace me
in glances
brush my hair
with your fingers
trace my smile
with your lips
I breathe
your breath
fly to your dreams
I whisper your name
you stir
pulling me
close in your mind
reciting me
with your thoughts
I am that tune
you can not get
out of your head
haunting you
my scent surrounds
wraps you in warmth
forever I am yours
for my name
is lovingly written
upon your skin

Tattoo me,
With scents and sensitive sighs,
Write on skin,
And within,
Red lipstick on my pale skin,
And perfume
So to swoon,
Writing bold with emotions,
What to do,
Tattoo you,
Could I mark you like you mark,
Tattoo two.

Gloom

Just a friendly response
to your very inspirational poem

This has got to be your best writing so far.The tenderness is felt all the way to
the end. Such a sweet thought of a lucky person.

A wonderful, soft aura this piece has....such romance.  Beautifully done!
