I will stain you with
my ink permanently,
like velvet covers
the window and shadows
light, you will be
inexplicably drawn, enveloped,
terrified, but unable to flee.
I will stain you with
my ink permanently,
my colors running
into you, binding us
as one artwork,
one masterpiece.
I will stain you with
my ink permanently,
penetrate layers of
skin, psyche,
mark you forever,
keep you as my own.
