Henna Tattoo



So these are the moon and stars I receive from you,

My adored and true--

You whose love is not love,

But only vagary;


So these moon and stars are what's left of you,

And they'll hardly do--

Just a gorgeous and temporary

Henna tattoo.

I want to see a pic of the henna tattoo!

Mama Zen said...

Many people have an allergic reaction to henna. Just saying . . .

Fireblossom said...

Your wish is my command. I shall have to take a pic.

Pouty Lips said...

These are two of my favorite things - the moon and stars. I can't wait for the pic.

Fireblossom said...

You guyssssssss. Psssst, the tattoo actually has nothing to do with the person the poem is about, but it did give me the idea for the metaphor. And I do love my little moon and stars.

Isn't that what this poem is all about, the moon...and the stars, and your henna tattoo? ;)

Fireblossom said...

Thanks, gals. Welcome, Debbie! Scarlet, you are incorrigible!

Jannie Funster said...

I like that one too.

Why does it have to be so all-fired temporaay?
