needles and ink,
they made pictures and frescos
across dark melanin skin.
A couple,
hearts knotted into one,
through veins and arteries.
they were inseparable,
fluttering kisses,
making love like rough tsunamis
across rocky cliff sides,
like volcanoes erupting from
hot lava,
breaking surfaces and crust.
their tattoos made love to
dark melanin skin.
they were in love, ink and needle,
meant to forever make bloody masterpieces
for broken and healing hearts.
