you wanted something different you said as we talked about butterflys and hearts and the inherited patterns of an inker's tradition you were a windowpane of mirrors looking down at the beach below swaying your hips to hendrix rhythm and letting night caress your bareness more slowly than my eyes could comtimplate as colors began delineation of serpentine on your arms and waist suggestions ghosts glided goose flesh dimples below your back blades sides like fingertips with jagged ends, you said pulling off freckles and drilling little holes then nailing them back down with long skinny spikes that sting tingle til' they bottom out against my bones some unchained melody was splashed on after by rightous brothers filling in the edges coating the wounds of you with glossy and sounds of chills a memory would replay in twenty years when you would look again for something different than tradition. . ©Dark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (08-09-2002 07:12 AM).] |

Windowpane of mirrors... I would like to know how you do that, but then, that would be like asking the magician for his secrets, and that, I would never do... |

"some unchained melody was splashed on after by rightous brothers filling in the edges coating the wounds of you with glossy and sounds of chills a memory would replay in twenty years when you would look again for something different than tradition." Dang! I know you don't know... but, Unchained Melody by the Rightous Brothers is one of my all time favs.. No, you didn't know that.. and now you have caused that piece to start spinning over and over in my head and it will be there all day!! Mmmm, what a wonderful Friday this is going to be!!  ~slow morning hugs to you sir~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

~'pulling off freckles and drilling little holes then nailing them back down with long skinny spikes that sting tingle til' they bottom out against my bones',... ...what an image, a poem, your 'brain goofies'? oh no, so much more than that. Your writing feels me. *Peace. [This message has been edited by Alicia (08-09-2002 02:07 PM).] |

indigo...think it was purple haze..the album anyway.... as for tattoo, well I would have to check out the canvas first and consider where to place the object...center of the back just above the hips was this ladies choice....that area is always seductive as a modeling place. Thanks to you for the read babe. Alicia, Hi lady from the east, thanks to you so much for your read and reply, always a pleasure to see you when you visit.

make sure you count the freckles first just to make sure you put them back from whence they flew... |

"you were a windowpane of mirrors looking down at the beach below swaying your hips to hendrix rhythm and letting night caress your bareness more slowly than my eyes could comtimplate"   (smiles) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I just love this, I am a big modern fan of Jimi Hendrix, I especially love his song "Castles made of sand, fall into the sea...eventually!"! (big hugggssssss) It is both funny and sad how traditions can change so drastically, I consider myself to be a conservist and cherish all of yesterdays pop culture and dreams! (big hugggssssss) This is breathtaking, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

"for something different than tradition. ." as might be said of this inker's bit of ink, with another sort of pen. Enjoyed this, Dark |

Tradition has it's place and non-tradition does as well.....very cool write. Like reading your perspective and learning new ways to convey. Very much enjoyed. |
