the fire
you're the only one that matters
everyone else
everything else
is just background noise
next to your light
your warmth
has shattered through the calcification
surrounding the pilot light in my heart
it never went out
it was lying in wait for you
to turn it into an inferno
everyone else
everything else
is just background noise
next to your light
your warmth
has shattered through the calcification
surrounding the pilot light in my heart
it never went out
it was lying in wait for you
to turn it into an inferno

that metaphor is so perfect and specific to your self, or so it seems to me. such a cool love poem. i know that's sort of an unoriginal way to describe it, but i'm just sayin'...it's enviable. laid back but full of what you're trying to get across.

is so wild that it is not required to be evident...the title punch is there in each line, every single word used overhere. Deep self love.

self love? no this wasn't about masturbation.. haha just kidding.. glad you like it.. i like it but am kind of left vulnerable with this kind of poem unlike some of my other tattoos like "rape ii" for instance..but fuck it..you guys need to see my soft side.. my "light" side.. you all have seen my dark side plenty.. (cheers)

It's so delicately and quietly beautiful this one... it's amazing that you can write in such polar opposites, rage one minute, then love the next. There's that fire in it though, hidden under the surface...there's always that fire in your work, it's usually on the surface, but here it glows just under the words
