Tattoo symbolism

I'm going to paint tonight, so I doubt I'll post pictures today (maybe crappy photos after midnight. We will see).

I thought it might be interesting to tell you a little story about the tattoo. I'm all about really personal tattoos, or none at all. My sketch is inspired by one of my favourite poems, but I also put a lot of symbolism in it.

First of all, the two birds, they're hummingbirds. Hummingbirds represent love, joy and beauty, but more importantly; this bird also teaches that we must not dwell on our past; we need to move forward.
The birds form a circle, a symbol for eternity. Than there are three anemones, there's a myth that sais that the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis. The anemone symbolizes unfading love, it is also said that it's protection against evil. The first anemone is one with it's petals closed and legend has it that an anemone closes it's petals, rain is approaching.
In the lower right corner there are three mixed zinnias. Mixed zinnias mean that one is thinking of an absent friend.

So, it means a lot to me. Figuring out the colours and placing is left.
