Description I had a new tattoo, tis all ivy leaves in design and runs along most my left hand side and friends have decidedly teased me (despite not seeing it yet) some with words such as 'poison ivy'
this is almost a retort and an invite in one
and the simple matter that love can be poisonous or even deadly.

the literature template is one of mine and can be found in my gallery here [link] i just inverted the colours

words if unclear in the image are as follows

Trace the ivy slowly,
Follow the ink lines
Etched into my bare skin
With cautious fingertips,
I’m not poisonous you know,
Draw closer as I recline.
Dare to kiss, if you will,
I do not bite - at least not yet…
Let me caress and embrace
Wrap myself around you,
Hold you so very near
So intimately close.
Flesh pressed upon flesh,
Let me take my sweet time,
And let me then choose
To love you deeply,
With such consuming
And heated passions.
Now my Darling,
That is indeed deadly…

thankyou so very much for taking the time to read and for the compliment and

in truth it surprised me how well this worked - more so on the visual level with the template.

Oh my goodness that's fantastic. I love the imagery. A tentative touch, first kiss quickly sparking into desperate embraces etc. I love it to bits.

"I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine"

- Pablo Neruda

if you can't find the words you need quote the words of another to melt the heart

hehe, i knows If I could be one poet, I would probably be Pablo Neruda. His love poetry is some of the best you can find. If I can't create a great enough line to tattoo on my body, I will use his lines

perhaps - it would depends a lot on which lines you would choose and where you would put them
