“Below My Feet,” Mumford & Sons

You have 6 tattoos.
Full lips. Good, strong hands.
You have 7 freckles on your back,
they map out the big dipper.
You have a scar on your left arm
you carved in high school.
The first time you pulled off your t shirt
I traced the line with my fingers and fell in love
with your strength.
You are a hero
for living from that moment
to this one. You never need to apologize
for how you chose to survive
Your body is a map I know every inch of
and if anyone else
were to kiss me, all they would taste
is your name.

Happy 54th Birthday, Sean ♥ Born April 17th, 1959.
“Lads like me were supposed to go down the pit or into the steelworks. And I did. I had three years working with my dad in the steelworks, doing my welding and plating apprenticeship. But I knew that there was something more out there. Something…something arty. When I met kids in Liverpool I knew what they were going through. I knew how difficult it is to pull out a book of Shakespeare when all your mates are reading football magazines or comics. I just wanted to say, ‘It’s not about class or where you come from. Stick at it, work hard…look what happened to me. I’ve done all right’.” (x)
