I like Your Poem Chester... just not the subject. I am against tattoos I guess. I think real beauty shines out from inside. But well to each their own I guess. As long as you are happy and satisfied with it then I am happy for you. Keep writing hmm You have an awesome talent with the written word.

Jon! this is a deeply embedded (no pun intended...ha!) poem and gets under one's skin, in more ways than one...very sexual and revealing of inner desires and fantasies bubbling under the surface...

Very exciting write!!

My body quivers with sadistic ecstasy
this pain is all consuming , blotting out every other .
I lie here , your willing living canvas .

I can feel the wild emotions, and the acceptance of the pain and pleasure within the write.

Nice one, dude!

This poem is such an intimate look into the mind of the tatted. If I didn't want a tattoo prior to reading this, I want one now. Perhaps...

It's intriguing to me - being such a "willing, living canvas" as you say. I like the concept of "it feels so good to be used" - ha! Get your mind out of the gutter. Well naw - don't do that. It's all cushy goodness down here in the gutter lol...

All joking aside - I really loved the connection you give to the "canvas and the artist" - makes it real. Offers a different perspective in a unique way.

Nicely done - thanks for the share - and apologies for taking 3 and half years getting on with the response

Jacquii.

Happy new year to you as well. 2011 is gonna be a fabulous year!

Glad you had a wonderful retreat - It's been a looooong time since I've been camping - would love to get back to nature this year ((sigh...))

Ain't it a bit of craziness to have a rendezvous of sorts with your writing.... stuff from years ago? Kinda shows how we have grown as people I suppose. I love it as we write our own autobiographies.
