Like a silent cigarette,
Pre-ordained to kill.

with floating memories
crushing the ashy edges.

Like a cigarette to me
Addictive and consuming
But cancerous 
In every way
Yet I'd still go down
In your flame

How he lays there with a slouch.

So warm and comfortable,

The stick, I flung

Luscious looks can't hold together
A face takes a hit
From a cigarette lit
And a plum becomes fruit leather

Find a good chair
Park you bum on softness
Lit a cigarette 
Inhale 
Have cold beer
Everything falls into place
A world at ease

Premium Member Cigarette

Smoky walls, proliferate
an impregnable thought
a lustful journey, lingering
fingers clawing at remnants
of secrets; 
shimmering in the shadows, memory.

Gloomy

Cigarette butts pressed into the ashtray.
Yellow fingers from nicotine. 
Wrinkled face!
Squeezed inside!
No passion!
No life !
Drown in misery ...

Cigarettes and Whisky

It's cold, the lights are out
the roof is leaking
but I sit here with a cigarette in my mouth
a glass of whisky in my hand
and a rope around my neck.

Pain

I'm here,
sitting all alone
with cigarette stubs 
and whiskey bottles
hoping to let go 
of my pain through
the crevices of the scar
you left me with.

Premium Member Hot Minute

For a hot minute like a cigarette we burned, faded.
You were like nicotine making me feel elated then jaded.
We had fallen in love again until it degraded.

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue.

is that a funny cigarette you're smoking?
