Derrek Bovee Poet Rhyme

It Fades Along With the Smoke

Inhale,

Exhale.

 

Numb to sensation

Emotionless pulsation

Travels up the spine

Tingling, stinging divine.

 

My own frailty

Does not betray me

Push the envelope,

Tighter, grows the rope.

 

Play with fire,

Dance on razor wire.

Unstoppable ignorance

Furthers the always expanding dissonance.

 

Just breathe in the smoke

There’s no need to cope,

False stimulation

Fends off foretold trepidation.

 

Lungs inflate,

Reality begins to deflate.

Vision blurs

Twists and slurs.

 

So empty,

Fate tempts me

Push the envelope,

Tighter, grows the rope.

 

So hollow,

Transparent rules swallow

A generation of perfection

Young and lost; without direction.

 

Inhale,

Exhale.
