Smoke Rings In the Dark

We sit alone in the shadows outside, Blowing smoke rings in the dark; Watching them rise and then divide, The cherry just a glowing spark; This is what living is all about, I’m more happy now than I care to admit; Talking, laughing, and hanging out, Just sitting here with our cigarettes lit; Blowing smoke rings towards the sky, Your simple words tugging at my heart; I lean on your shoulder with a satisfied sigh; And watch as they slowly drift apart; Doing all the things we shouldn’t do; I liked being here alone with you, Blowing Smoke rings in the dark...

Wonderful and romantic poem, Tirzah! You captured that moment well.... Congratulations on your second place finish...No regrets at all!....I must admit I'm a long-time smoker who has been addicted to that weed for for many years...One good thing about my (bad?) habit...I can blow one heck of a smoke ring too! - Tim
