Lol, tattoos, I didn't quite think about that when I read it in addition I just thought it was another one of your not-meant-to-be-understood poems XD

So there wasn't actually alot to look at, as allways a nice set of highly idulgent discriptions. Your structure here varies and is different from other pieces you've written and it fits nice and well.

This I found a quite icky part, in this stanza the flow and rythem seem perfect till the last tiny part.

His Mother’s heart
is an indelible impression
that slips off one shoulder;
worn and faded by time.


The "by" here, it chucks it up a bit. I was thinking of "with" as a replacement or "through"


Well Brad, all I have to say, nice job ;)

Cheerios, Chandni
I should not keep on, I'll just creep on creepin'on.

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
