Follow Your Bliss

A smoky inhalation, Burning desire... Lonely. Crowds circulating, a click. Fire kissing, my lips; Warmed. Tangible lover or feigned hope? Ember flickers, a wisp of smoke. Embraces me, no feeling of alone. The crackling, every breath; Happy. A halo at my fingertips, mending Heart and Soul, easing The Mind. Suffocation no more, the crowd, Endured. Laughter, a replaced smile. Blank faces and common names. Feeling disgust, pungent smell. Another puff, another exhale. Angel weeping, devil smirks. Begging dependence, but only penny. Out of breath, chasing; it's engine #1. Looking, searching; nothing but lint. Frantic, in a panic... trying to quit. Engulfed in flames, choking ashes. Destruction, breaking prisms. Reflection Of myself, white stares; mannequins. Drowning, ever surrounding. A spark, a light, an eye... Tranquil calm, sea subsides. Hope, serenity, an air of respite. Ah! A light; so fragile. Lost island, a cast away. My lover, my friend; absorbing. How I miss you; longing ruin. Never again, you fiend! I'm sorry, friend instead?
