THE MAN WITH A LOT OF TATTOOS The man with a lot of tattoos is quite interesting. He has blotches of ink all over his body. He doesn’t look like he would be Caucasian, but he is, he is as white as a ghost underneath all those tattoos. But I wonder? Is he expressing himself through his tattoos? Or is he trying to look like a rebel. Is he trying to prove something to himself? Or possibly to someone else. I know this tattooed man. He is very troubled. He has an issue with communicating with the ones he has feelings for. He can’t tell his stories. Only if someone could get him to talk. Then he could express his hidden feelings. And all the mystery of the tattoos could possibly come out. But right now we have to wait. For that one gate, that he will open for that one who will listen. But for now we can sit and admire the beautiful art work, that he has tattooed on his body. From the eye ball on his neck, to the collage of tattoos on his arms. To the portrait of his mother on his side. And that one empty piece of skin that he is saving for his one true love. From the pot leaf smoking pot on his abs. To the artwork of various things on his back. All the way down to the spider on his thigh. The tattooed man has many tattoos, and they will all be admired from my point of view. Until I get that chance to open the tattooed man up. To make him talk, To express those hidden feelings, to open up to the one his heart truly lies with. To tell his stories, so he can gaze into my eyes for days. To let me listen to all of his dismay! I hope the man with tattoos will open up soon Because the one he is waiting for to listen, is right in front his face. The one who will listen for as long as it takes.
