Death Partner

Something slower than snails

More powerful than nuclear bomb.

The flame that eats out, leisurely

Not like what reduce to ash, on pyre.

Intentions unknown but desire clear. 

Dressed in different garbs: tempting.

Undress it: seducing.

Taste it and go in a maze.

Elixir fills the airbags.  

Settle there: an assassin in the body.  

Time it seeks: to strike dead.

Make silent exit: through the nostrils.

Mission accomplished.

Ah! it was blissful feeling you.

Just one more time...one puff!
