Ink Stain

Marina Diaz


Sleek and black
We cross paths
Her touch
Swept across my fingers
She is my best friend
She knows my most sacred wants
Desires
Black silk
Gliding over my skin
Erotic
Smooth and serpentine
Black lace
Traced on my body
Bare
Black on white
A stroke
Continuous motion
Sensual
Black liquid
Dripping off my fingertips
Lick you up
My last bits of sanity
My saviour


Marina Diaz writes "I am a receptionist for a recruiting firm. I never graduated college. I think that my most notable attributes would be #1, I am a woman, and #2, I am a survivor (not of Cancer or any other debilitating disease). Writing has carried me through many ordeals and kept me half sane. Often those ordeals come out kicking and screaming in my writing. Sometimes they are a bit more hushed. Which ever way they choose to come out, they are still me."
