This afternoon I was doing homework for my Literature Compact class, we read a lot of poetry and then analyze it, today we read a poem that was particularly perfect in relation to my own love life with Cyndi, so I decided I would share this beautiful poem with all of you. Every once in a while something will jump out and grab our attention, something so perfect that sticks with us forever, this poem is a perfect example. I'm curious to see if anyone can tell me what they think the overall message of the poem is. What the tattoo's represent. Here it is: "First Poem For You" - Kim Addonizio "I like to touch your tattoo's in complete darkness, when I can't see them. I'm sure of where they are, know by heart the neat lines of lightning pulsing just above your nipple, can find, as if by instinct, the blue swirls of water on your shoulder where a serpent twists, facing a dragon. When I pull you to me, taking you until we're spent and quiet on the sheets, I love to kiss the pictures in your skin. They'll last until you're seared to ashes; whatever persists or turns to pain between us, they will still be there. Such permanence is terrifying. So I touch them in the dark; but touch them trying." Please respect the work of this author, and do not post this poem as your own, thanks!
