In his youth, the old husband was a body builder, <br />so muscular and chiseled like a male sculpture. <br />He had his girlfriend's picture tattooed in his chest, <br />bicep, tricep and the back. <br />Almost exposing the private parts in bikini-clad, <br />so sexy with wavy curve, <br />provoking the on-looker's envy and lust, <br />with seducing eye and inviting lip, <br />full breast and broad hip, <br />narrow waist and long legs. <br />When he displayed his muscles......contracted and flexed, <br />stretched and relaxed, <br />the tattoos looked like dancing in elegant steps. <br />Every tattoo had her name, <br />that caused him a big shame. <br />Because in real life, <br />she looked otherwise. <br />If the tattoo specialist tattooed what she really looked like, <br />maybe he would be stabbed with a knife, <br />by now he won't be alive. <br /> <br />At the age of 50, he became so fat, <br />as his skin was so stretched, <br />so the tattooed pictures looked so big and fat, <br />so she became so sad. <br />She didn't like him baring his chest. <br /> <br />At 80, he is now sick and thin, <br />his skin loses luster and is wrinkling, <br />cos the underlying supporting tissue, <br />becoming so weak and loose, <br />The tattoos look like a picture on paper..so creased, <br />causing her breathe a sigh with a heave, <br />She then never allows the old husband to expose the upper part of trunk, <br />even in the heat of summer months. <br />Once his beautiful tattoos <br />are now her haunting taboos.<br /><br />U Win Kyi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-husband-and-a-bold-wife-6-wrinkled-tattoos/
