Canvas of Art

Walking down the street.
Or playing with my kids.
They stop and stare.
And all I can think is...
"What the hell ya lookin' at?"
Is it the way I walk?
The beautiful in my face?
Or the way I play with my kids?
Or is it the art upon my skin?
Some may see it as tasteless and unreal.
Ugly and to much.
But all I see is the story upon my body that my ink screams.
Every tat no matter how big or small.
All has a story behind it all.
My life.
My journey.
Family; loved and lost.
What I like.
What makes me who I am.
While you see a mess and distraction of skin.
I see a mural of dreams and stories untold.
This is art upon my skin.
My canvas once was blank.
Now no longer boring and tan.
It's full of colors, symbols, and sketches of art.
Beauty is art.
It's not just the music you hear.
Or the paintings you see.
Cuz see I have music upon my skin; note after note.
Little paintings to murals inked into my skin.
Forever to keep until the day they lay my body to rest.
So if your going to stop and stare.
Hell take a picture it'll last forever.

Keep your comments to yourself.
Cuz I could careless what you think of me.
This is my life,
My body,
My canvas God gave me.
For if you got a problem with it turn the other cheek.
Or stand there and watch me enjoy the life I keep.

Those who stop and judge are to busy standing still.
While the ones they watch are living every moment of life.
You can watch and talk.
Or go and live your life.
As for me.
I'm to busy living and enjoying my life.
I love the art upon my canvas God gave me.
Beauty to my soul.
So keep on judging me.
You'll see it doesn't matter to me.
It'll never stop me from being who I am & living the life I'm blessed with every day I wake up and see the sun again.

Baby Boy

All it takes is hearin his text tone & instantly I'm smiling.
"Good morning baby." =)
Yup I like it.
Sends a pic out of the blue.
Damn baby boy I'm missin' you.
Smilin' so big now I know I look a fool.
But hell baby boy fine & that smile of his.
A 100% genuine.
Texting all day.
Random conversations like...
"Hey baby how's your day?"
Shoot better now that your here.
I know I can't hide the happiness I feel inside when I'm talkin to him.
Cuz I sit there grinning like a lil school girl who just saw her crush walk in.
Smiling all big & eyes all sparkling.
Heart just racing when I know he's thinkin' of me.
Surprise phone calls are even better.
Man that voice mmmmm.
So deep, so sexy, voice so soft & low.
Makes you wanna take off all your clothes.
His laugh amazing.
It's music to my ears.
No matter the weather when he's near forecast always sunny & bright.
Never a cloud up in the sky.
Baby boy always got me on cloud 9.
I swear I'm gonna make him minez.

Counting down the days & waiting for the moments.
The first hug,
The first kiss.
Looking into them beautiful brown eyes & being completely hypnotized.
I already know my heart gonna stop,
I'm gonna forget to breath.
Man what he does to me.
We're on a whole nother level then the rest of the world.
We've created our own little universe.
Never has there been a physical moment between us just yet.
But what we feel is real.
Deep in our hearts & our souls.
We already know it's gonna be til death do us part.
Our dreams we dream together.
Never are they apart.
We know what we want & that's for us to never part.
Love doesn't happen over night.
It takes it's time & grows.
Ours grows every second of every single day.
Never has it dwindled or faded away.
Always growing into something so beautiful that even we can't describe the hold it has.
When it's true & it's real.
It's beautiful & natural and never once do you have to explain how you feel.
You see it in our eyes,
You hear it in our voices.
And once you see us together you'll already know we are meant to be together.

Your lucky to love once in a lifetime so I've heard.
If your lucky to find love once more. Don't be afraid nor walk away.
Let love happen & set your soul free.
Don't ever be afraid to be with the one that completes your heart & your soul.
Who loves you as a whole.
Love is beautiful when you've met your match.
Don't ever let anyone try to control your destiny.
Your future is only in your hands.
