Tattooed Soul

Preface:
There are times when certain people
leave strong impressions irrespective of time and distance.
It's lasting especially when they are made at a very young age.
Painful though help in shaping the very character of a person.

Thank you Chester! #LinkinPark


And here I recollect
the past, spent
building you up,
putting together, adding up
colored bits and pieces,
jagged and rough
none out of thin air, no
but from deep within my soul,
glossing it up, with
my hopes and aspirations,
my sorrow and frustration
Just a mirage,
sparkling on the horizon
Though it was you who
lend this fickle illusion
your words, your voice
and your Name..
Carving it's existence!

Now that you reclaim your Name
Leaving it to disperse in thin air..
Broken shards, fly back to me,
A reflecting kaleidoscope
Of your words and voice..
a tattoo, perpetual
engraved on my soul!
