Kiss Me Until the Sun Rises From the West

I kiss this cigarette and it's killing me But I admire the beauty of its smoke Like flying into space without a helmet O hands tickle core and speak silence While burning lung cells and no one A sour taste in our flaming tongues Choke me with your judgmental gaze The poison is sweet, hard as a stone Then the emptiness of the delusional hope Lord, I am your servant in the end Bowing and reverence, where am I? Let's cry letters and write with your blood Like mountains in the shape of a crumbling face Then we curse the Greek gods as a joke And the rain extinguished the fire that lit up my scarlet eyes like no one had ever done before The light disappeared and the sparks brought me back from my dull dreams Then I looked up at the sky, crying with clouds and for the wet cigarette "But it has become a part of me" Kiss me until the sun rises from the west

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi Tesn ime, my words are of the usual suspect bunch, I will choose magnificent. Addiction and desire worded perfectly, I would like to say Wow, but that is not allowed.

Tesn, I like how you brilliantly use the contradictory nature of addiction to highlight the desire for understanding and acceptance. Your last line is perfect.
