Short Nicotine Poems

Holding up this lit cigarette,
Like tiny trumpet in fingertips....

flash of pearly smile,

       but a tinge of nicotine

              oh, can still be seen....

nicotine
isn't clean
water's the cleanliness
causing some loneliness
use to be dirty
clean after thirty...

smell of nicotine
coming out of all her pores
turning off blind date

his motor mouth
abruptly turns her off
there is no kiss...

Read More

You are the nicotine rushing through my head
Each kiss a long drag off my Red
Your touch consumes me like smoke
You are my addiction...

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

Cigarette butts pressed into the ashtray.
 Yellowed fingers from nicotine.
Prematurely aged face,
Wrinkled.
Squeezed inside.
No passion.
Without life.
Drown in his own misery ......

Confident Frenchie
She sits like a man
With one leg up high
Bent at the knee

She smokes like a man too
Thinking it is sexy
Not realizing how horrible nicotine smells
Not caring either...

You drink a cup of coffee
You light a cigarette
You sit back in your chair
And you try to forget
The nicotine kills you
The caffeine keeps you alive
Don't play with fire
Unless you're ready to die...

Face well worn, Graying hair,
Marlboro in his mouth.

Clay-dirt boots, dusty hat,
Bologna from a sack.

Tastes of nicotine and diesel,
he can’t spit it out.

The old man makes his living 
on a caterpillars back....

I've been smoke free two months today.
I haven't smoked and I hope that's how things will stay.
Please don't start smoking, it wasn't a good thing for me to do.
Please say no to nicotine because that is what is best for you....

Nicotine drips from his flesh,
Brawn tainted by addiction cries
Emotions enmesh—
Nicotine drips from his flesh,
With tobacco laden breath
The crinkle of burning paper dies 
Nicotine drips from his flesh—
Tissue, tainted by addiction cries...

Under the wind 
of an electric fan
the old balladeer sounds 
like a tired man,
blinks his bleary eyes 
as fast as he can;


breath reeks of nicotine 
and of stale rum,
crooning his song 
with a gravelly hum,
the captive audience gossips 
and chews gum!...

She smells like nicotine
It is in her hair and on her nails.
It resonates when she speaks
And it puffs smoke when she wails.

She is kind of a cigarette clown.
Her scent is not feminine or nice.
She has such a terrible odor
That I would rather smell my mice....

She is a strange girl
I mean she is a very strange girl
Not that I have anything against strange girls
Or their names
Or who their mothers are
Since nicotine is just a way
To burn away anxiety
I never said I didn’t like strange girls
I kind of like this one,
A lot....

I'm an addict!
I have been for years.
Dying from it
is one of my fears.
The thing that I mostly hate,
is feeling my health
deteriorate.
The nicotine stains
and ashtray breath,
bring me ever closer
to death.
On my death bed
I'll probably say...
Pass me my fags
and an ashtray....

Smokeless inhales hurt.
I cough tar on my shirt.
As my black lungs breathe,
Shrilling exhales wheeze.

Cabrona
Falls me
Down to
My knees.

The nicotine cracks
My will.
My composure
Spills.

I want 
This.
I must 
Have this.

I sink
Into
The brink
Of madness....

The instructions were easy.
Invent and draw a new kind of alien.
My alien was a combination between a rodent and a dragon.
I put a cigarette in its mouth and gave it black teeth.
This offended the art teacher, who was a smoker.
Ask me if I care.
His nicotine pores offend me....

Heard of popcorn lung
 or maybe vapor's tongue
You'd be remiss
if you don't Google this
Children don't watch the news
if we don't warn them is it child abuse
Tough love's a thing of the past
all the victims, though, learned fast

Here's the pun
What a home-run
for nicotine gum...

Voices scream like  cockerels' within the farm of my mind
Awake again. should I even bother opening my eyes?
Maybe if I dont, the day wont have to start.
I roll out of bed into consciousness. 
Coffee. Black like my mood.
Nicotine and coffee are good ammunitions.
How many hours till sleep?...

You are my drug.
Your smell brings me to my knees
Like crack brings an
Addict to his

The blood streaming 
Through your veins
Is the nicotine cigarettes 
Which after one drag
I'm hooked.

And no brand 
Of cannabis could
Compare to the high you give me,
When our lips finally touch....

Let me deal with this alone,
Love’s a trap at its cruel form. 
Life could have been better if we’re to choose,
Guess thy nicotine- lips were my best excuse,
Subtle hand holding,
Ousted by the feeling you inflame,
Kissing behind closed doors,
In this place of empty hearts, sadness out-pours....

3:10 am 

The benadryl has long since worn off

No sleep, again...

Weird stuff happens to me in the early morning
I see things
Things I shouldn't 

Like your face

3:14 am

I need nicotine

3:20 am

Cigarettes don't help..
Because no matter how much smoke I blow in your face
You find just enough breath 
To choke me...

She,
The one that no-one else can be,
Nor hope to be with,
My solitude and earthly muse,
Her love like sweet poison,
Nicotine to my soul,
An addiction that I cannot nor want to break,

Omnipotent, Omnipresent 
Her love though ambiguous to all but one,
Under her spell I will not nor ever need 
Anything more than she...
