Tattooed Moon (30 page)
After all, his seed was growing within of her… a precious little girl soon to be born. Milan had picked out her name as soon as she knew what they were having, asked him if it was to his liking…
Juliana Katrina Savant…
…And he absolutely loved it.
Now, the day happened to be a somber day, a day of pain, but also one of renewal and growth. It was the anniversary of the day his father had drawn his last breath. Julian stayed in a land of distraction, but as most soulmates do, the woman by his side knew her man… And what did she do? Plant a kiss upon his head, his heart, his cock and his spirit…then handed him an early Father’s Day card. He read the damn thing, teared up a bit, and ushered her legs open, devouring her, loving her, on that particular morning. He’d been so famished, hungry for the food only she could provide. His heart hurt a bit, but she was his medicine, made everything all right.
Back to the present…
He wrapped his arm around her extended stomach, enjoying his family of three.
Three…
The number of completion…
But he wasn’t finished with her by a long shot. This was only the beginning. Yes, this was only the start of what was to come, and he simply couldn’t wait to be that never-ending song and story, the one he’d promised her they’d be…
Why? Because tattoos last forever…
And he planned to love her just as long.
And opera music was in her soul,
And he wanted to help her sing the song…

We’ve got yellowed yesterday, but yesteryear hurt.
We’ve got toiled inscriptions on our souls, and the piercing pain lingers—
We’ve got soothing love written all over our writhing bodies and muddled minds.
We’ve got inky love swirling around our fingers.
We’ve got picturesque healing for today,
So that we can partake in an even more glorious tomorrow—
The scabby wounds of adoration lost still remain.
Leaving us at times drowning in blue-black sorrow.
Steaming tea and golden roses
Was only a small part of your persona revival—
Haunting opera music surrounds your spirit.
You’re a fighter, sleeping on a bed of delayed tears, called survival.
The dead brought us together,
But I lived through you, and you breathed through me—
We were travelling a road of loves lost,
Yes, we were brought together via tragedy.
I’ve been waiting, expecting you, my Love,
And I knew I’d meet my exquisite bride soon—
Our sacrifice of rich ink and fresh blood intermingled
For you shined down on me, Milan…
You are my coveted
tattooed moon…
