Battle Scars
Tribute
A reminder that love leaves a mark
I tattooed your name on my skin
A scar remains on my heart
Proof that I let you in
Though we may be through
Remnants of you
Will always
Be with
Me

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Not sure about getting any tattoos, but this poem makes a statement of love and friendship.
you made it ، gal
I love how the last line of the poem links back to the first line. Very creative!
Your poem beautifully captures the lasting imprint of love. The imagery of tattooing and scars resonates deeply. Thank you for sharing such heartfelt and evocative words.
