Nicotine

*LIFE, WHAT A RUSH* Silence needs to be spoken and put out like a cigarette The joy - the laughter - the expression found in a silhouette Inhale the wholesomeness - Exhale the worthiness. The soul- addicted to all the toxins this world contains Life is like nicotine circulating throughout your veins Wrath is a venom that absorbs all the fumes that flow Trigger the mind and you'll see smoke blow Hope entwined with clouds of wisdom Tobacco strangling every inch of the nerve system Vapors exceed emotions, love and veneration Smog proceeds in slow motion Puffing the beauty, by draining the heart and mind Filtering all the nicotine bad breath left behind ~*~

Clever metaphor PD., smoke has such a wonderful quality to it, a dancining personality. I'm gonna go have a smoke and think of your dynamics - J.A.B.

God I hate cigs. They took my father and did not help my mother. Your clothes used to smell in the morning and I was married to it for 14 years. But hey, the smoking bans been in for few years and your poem reminds me to appreciate its abscence. Thanks. Nice one. Ian F (Non Smoker)
