I Would Tattoo His Name on My Ass

A certain couple apparently identified their interconnectedness to each other not only through government sanctioned coupledom, but through a ring finger tattoo.

At first glance, some would say this is stupid. AHEM, Pamela. After all, he or she may die, as the worst case scenario and I don't need to explain other opportunities that would lend this concept to be a bit silly.

After further internal exploration, prayer, meditation, and a heart so filled with love I'm floating, I would do it. I don't know... is it me or is that the ultimate sign of "even if you try, I aint divorcing your Black/White/Asian/Eastern Indian/Western Indian/Colombian ass".

I find it romantic. I know, for you realist, it is a little too mushy and idealistic, but as I read it I thought, "Why would I put a permanent symbol of my undying love for someone on my person?" Not to mention, my lustrous dark skin gives the, "Is that an ash mark on your back or a wing" look, with these "symbols". I would do it.

It is much more than a symbol to me. The idea that I contemplated it speaks more to my soul. I am, for all intensive purposes, a consument glass three-quarters of the way full kind of girl, but once more... I dug deeper. I love the connections to people. I adore that Noelani knows my every move before I tell her. I enjoy hearing Pamela go on and on about how no matter what the situation she will tell me how she feels because "she can". To listen to my Gloria's messages about "God coming in his time", when I need to hear it most, puts the smile back in play. This tat on ass thing just brought me back to what makes the most sense... connection, love, we are in this together. I think his first initial on my wrist, or his star sign on the curve of my waist, or his name on the right cheek would be hot shit!

Maybe not hot shit, but it would further give my dreams wings... or at least it will give that impression.

P.S. I gave a half-wave to my man on the street! I know... not my full self, but I am getting there.

You know that commercial wear a beautiful woman has a sexy drop back dress on? She is getting married and she has elegantly written the name of "Mike" tattooed on the crease of her low back? She asks the Tattoo Removal Artist about his services and he asks when are you and "Mike" getting married and she says we're not...I am marrying Steve.

Just somethin to think about...P
