Ink inscribed on skin,
does it define the man within?
External visual beautification,
Internal creative stimulization.
Heart carved on my sleeve,
will the world understand and believe?
I see a masterpiece of beauty and expression,
and it arises in my soul an unanswerable question.
Outward vision behold,
what is the truth to be told?
Beauty is in the eye of the purveyor,
but it is defined by the originator.
