~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the still of the night, a smoky haze glows bright,  
To the ash urn's delight, a dance of shadows takes flight.  
Tendrils of smoke swirls & twirls, a celestial waltz unfurls,  
A duet of fire and air, a sight beyond compare.
Weaving in a delicate trance, a dreamy sight's cadence,5

Mesmerized tango of fiery romance, in a spiral-like dance.
The air is filled with a sultry allure, as cigarette burn pure.
A dance of two in shadows deep, bond of smoke to keep.
The flames flicker & sway, like dancers in the moon's soft ray,  
A melody of ashes drifts, in the quiet of the night's mist.¹°

As the cigarette burns slow, its vapours in a graceful flow,  
A tango of light & shadow, in the urn's silent hollow.
Watch as the smoke spirals high, painting whispers in the sky,  
Let the night be a canvas wide, like a child's blank mind,
For the pas de deux of smoke & light, in it graceful delight.¹5

The waltz of vapours tonight, serenade starry sight,
A dance of beauty in the hazy night, enfire the cigarette's might.
A ballet of ephemeral grace, in this hidden sacred space.  
For in this moment's fleeting sigh, a beauty that will never die,  
The flames of a lit cigarette, in the urn's solemn silhouette.²°
