My Permanent Piece Of Art

by Illusion   Aug 14, 2005


Twisting vines
Curl in multiple colors over my arm
In a way this helps me cope
Without causing myself physical harm

Purple and black permanent flowers
Form on my wrists
Green and blue vines
Cover my old slits

Red and dark orange
Cover my breast
Tangled turquoise waves
Cover the rest

Pink and gray flowers
Delicately grow on my toes
Green and brown snakes
Gently slither in rows

I write on myself
It all comes from my heart
I’ve slowly made my body
Into a permanent piece of art

    Strange? No way!! It's absolutely exquisite. I love it. The rhyming scheme is great, the flow is wonderful, and the message it sends out is awesome. I can relate to this one also, as I currently have 9 tattoos. They do help with stress, and the needles steady and deep rhythm help ease emotional turmoil and pain.

    It's cool that one day a young person who cuts, may read your words about 'helping cope without physical pain', and be touched and inspired to stop cutting, all because of this lovely piece of art you have written.

    You have a wonderful gifted mind, I hope you never lose, mis-use or abandon it. It's a very special gift, and your beautiful poems prove that you are at one with your gift, at the moment. I hope you always will be.

    Love Always,

    It was amazing! Its much better than
    the way I use to cope with my stress,
    which was by cutting.

    I liked it though. I admit it was strange but really good. For a poem that just flowed out it was written very nicely and the words were just there and they made perfect sense. good job.

    5/5!!
