Image result for a skeleton smoking a cigar

Once had a boyfriend handsome, he had a black motorcycle that roared; oh, how we soared down the highway wild and carefree, he loved black powder cigars and whiskey; I admit the smell was divine. Oh yeah, he was dark and tattered, wrapped in a cloak of smoke earthiness; his gunslinger cigar was a mix of peppers and chocolate, deep and rich with a delicious sweetness; not to forget, he looked sexy. The years passed and we lost track, but I never forgot this handsome guy; I heard that he had died of throat cancer from smoking, his black powder delicious cigar- sad; that something sexy will kill. _________________________ November 7, 2018 Poetry/Free Verse/His Black Powder Cigar Copyright Protected, ID 18-1083-425-01 All Rights Reserved.

Sara, thanks for visiting and commenting, yes smoking sure causes a lot of death from cancer and related health problems, in youth people think it looks cool to smoke, and then they get hooked on the nicotine and cannot stop.

Yes, some people get cancer from the use of tobacco..Sad that you lost a friend. I had cousins who were brothers and sisters four in a family, 3 died from cancer, two lung and one throat, and the other one had heart disease related to smoking. Sara
