Bruise

What's that mark upon your arm?
Some ink perhaps?
Oh no, what's that!
A big blue-black bruise?
Oh my, what a bruise!
Pray, what was the cause
Or the occasion
That created such a god-awful lesion?
Intended contact?
Or mere unwitting mishap?
But wait,
Oh great mother-
Do I spy ANOTHER?
Oh quick, fetch the ice
We'll have them gone in a trice!


Now really, my dear
There is nothing to fear.
No need to gape,
No foul play, no, not rape!
Just a silly old mark,
Nothing sinister or dark,
Although, I must say
(Should I really say?)
That bruises, well they
Have some kind of sway...
And now I'm so fond
Of blemish, of blood,
I wear them with pride -
Dear, don't look so horrified!
Just why I don't know,
I don't do it for show.
It's a personal pleasure,
One could call it leisure...
Oh, leaving so soon?
How inopportune!
Let me show you the door,
But please, come once more.

Really? I think its great, the words, the skill, the meaning. You keep building words into phrases that bring about pure legit awesomeness. Keep writing.
