One month ... got a tattoo

Yesterday, I went and got myself inked: Prince said: 'Do I have a friend tonight?'

I wish I were there to say, hell ya!

But I say it now.

Wrote a song for him (celebrating love and sex, as he did; I hope he likes it) and the tattoo is symbolic - based on his amazing song She Gave Her Angels ... that summer night. There's a moon for that summer night and an angel face. He made me love love.

Caveman

There in the vein of my sigh
I opened two hearts
to find him caught up in the corner of my eye.

Where once upon a time
he ate up our moist forest of love
with one single hunger of his one perfect crime.

Couldn't tell how slow, or how fast,
time ran in the space of his breaths.
I just lay in his armpit, forgotten,
but fulfilled at last.

If I were to be asked what held me
to the air that rose
from the denseness of his earth,
I know what he won't say but my answer will be.

Can you hear it,
Can you feel it,
Can you see it,
For the eternity that be?

At the doorstep of pleasure, our one mutual, writhing pain,
cut us deep, oh, so deep, so deep...
Not a moment went by
and our sky was filled with the whitest of rain.

Could angels stand witness, pure,
to the birth of this first cry
as he entered the cave, of which he was the cure?

No,
Nobody could.
There was the day,
and the night,
and a silence that spoke,
heavy and light.

Can you hear it,
Can you feel it,
Can you see it,
For the eternity that be?

Yes, yes, yes
In our forest of love
where he still is caught up in the corner of my eye.

RIP Great Soul.

Please share! I actually just posted in another thread that I go in for my second session for mine on his birthday. It's pretty big, gonna take another 2-3 sessions total probably. I almost posted a pic to share with you all but it's not filled in yet, just the outline. I've seen some pretty creative ones lately, I love it! I'm so impatient so waiting in between sessions is even more torture than getting it done! Lol

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜

Mine did turn out to be the 10th. I don't know how to post photos. I have tried to put it as a profile pic and am awaiting mod's approval (not sure will get it because it is in the small of my back!).

I just wanted it to reflect Prince: simplicity, depth, poetry and humanness. I feel I achieved it through the symbolism.

Yep, I do feel mods should allow it. Prince was all about body and expression! And so are we.
