there is no other way

I have such a large backlog, I'm going to post twice a day for the month of April.  Enjoy!

This is Melissa's tattoo.

when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.

  1. Perfect. As the owner of Buk tattoo myself I really really love this one. One of my favorite poems.

  2. Contrairiwise I'm so glad you're back! I love your posts & so happy to know there will be more of them!

    Could I please ask that we have less exposed underboob? It would be nice if the posts could be safe for work. I appreciate your consideration.

  3. If I ever meet a girl with a Buk tattoo I might be inclined to marry her.
