I always promised the concrete madonna
and the mistress of asphalt easy
that my mind would not run again
to the prison side of dust lovely

they knew I was sensitive to tall tree women
and the barefoot seduction of afternoons
when one would call me romantic
and not say the rest of her mind

lest I would offer her my shirt soul
and ask that she only wear it
when I was her favorite tattoo
from dusk til the dawn time mornings

and maybe even the eden evenings
before I bought some of her sleepings
and painted other faces on them
then left them under her pillow

so I could always hear her dream them

Darkest Stranger,

Maybe if one puts all the tattoos together, they become a map to his heart.  It could be a cryptic message of longing.  Or is song could simply melt the hearts of all who listen.

True freedom is when we need not to promise anything ...

Enticing in its whole, title comprised.

Wish you a great Sunday, POET.

Love,
