The Artist


I ink tattoos of white

On your snowy skin. 

Passing by, no one notices

But you and I

We know my artwork fills the canvas

That runs through alleyways 

And under ladders

It spirals up and own your arms

It's painted underneath your eyes

That open and shoot beams of color

Through the air across to me.

I will not stop until my ink runs dry.

My name is Maddie Starks. I love creative writing, and I live in Greenville, South Carolina. When I'm not writing poetry, I spend my time playing the guitar and singing. I enjoy writing poems that display the intrinsic value that words naturally hold. As; you read through my poetry, I'd like to emphasize the difference between the author and the narrator :)
