Lace Tattoo
Antique needles threaded copper for the heart lace tattoo. It was a time ago when a solitary heart did beat silver and speak a secret gold.
Matching the now pattern in Spring scent takes a more than one search of the fresh cotton lining.
A leaf flutters with ‘take me if you can’ on the tree of knowledge.
Do you catch it before it falls?
Should you pluck the answer from the branch?
I would but my lace tattoo has a little thread of wandering copper that is shining purple in my eyes.
A lovely distraction when the heart is truthful blue to be sure … a stamp of colour to remind not to strain against the asking.
Tease me wind with your scent and paint the day with the transfer of a different loving equation.
My answer to the greening metal is to kiss mend before you awake.
And be the singing soldier in your life.
More I should say more but the paint is drying me a different hue….

Hi Laura
I remember when I wrote this I was feeling very strongly about a painful decision I had made.
I saw the fragility of my acceptance to surrender but also the strength to want to move forward as well. Thank you for your so kind words on this prose. xxxxx

The central stanza is my favourite Karen, especially a stamp of colour to remind not to strain against the asking. Lovely piece, such sweetly coloured ideas xxx

So firstly, thank you so much for highlighting a line from this, it is always so affirming when another writer does this. xxxxx
