debauched disciples of dance,
I do not fit in....

Smoke filled sky
A baby cries
What is this blindness that destroys our lives?...

Passing by out through open gate.~

Night club lights dimming low
The pianist  taking his bow
Play it again....Sam -
Across the smoke-filled room
A haunting ,tinkling tune....

Don’t hook up with a ‘girl’ from a chat room
Might have five children and even grandchildren…
Wearing long beard and smoke-filled pajamas
Cussing like sailor and farting like donkey....

Days of Smog

Do you remember the days of Smog,
Smoke filled Novembers in Fog.
Today you would not believe,
A time when we could not breathe.

Thick Air, not fit for Man Nor Dog....

Still Smoking When Last Seen

He was still smoking when last seen;
Had been having bad habit and a fein;
Smoke filled air,
And hard to bare;
Stopped eating so he could look lean.

Embattled here,
entitled there
One flag still flying,
the smoke-filled air

Horizons darken,
as blood runs free
The last man standing
—whose will to be

Angst 
Lies flat 
In the back 
Of a 57 Chevy 
Locked down fast 
Left and turn to rust 
Red rouge flakes of past 
Pasted in a D town cemetery 
Where the rubber burning black 
Filter smoke filled dreams held back...

Smoke filled lungs
Cloud the oxygen trying to get in
Fat veins, dark hearts and burnt lungs
Straining to take a breath
Whilst you’re gripping at your chest
It’s an aggravation, and annoyance 
Quitting is always harder than it seems....

Mothers day

She gave birth 
from a smoke filled womb
the umbilical chord around my neck
eternity choked
tossed into a world
of loneliness
discarded garbage
my mind slowly rots away
bitterness ebbs and flows
in my garden of flowers...

Her House was ablaze,
Smoke filled each room she
Was barely alive,

Congested and faint,
A withered rose suffocates,
She fell to her knees,

Voice heard loud and clear,
Severed through the pollution,
Arise, your set free!

Haiku 
Drunk I was last night 
Today my wife doesn`t speak to me 
I`m sad and lonely 

Haiku
I`ve stopped smoking 
Time hangs heavy in the air 
In the smoke-filled pub  

Haiku
New Year’s resolutions
Bring out the worst in people
Makes them boring...

Vibrations quiver in smoke-filled
volcanoes or parlors not much
difference.

You suck mine, I'll suck yours
both of us feelin'
for stuff that don't suck.

The difference between a fist and a
palm.. umm..
why is that not “duh!!”?

Mysteries, histories
and so on......

Bourbon Street's heart does beat.

Bars pouring forth pleas as

Bands drone in smoke filled rooms.
 
Brass and piano voice

Blare the heartfelt tone's tear.

Bare shackled souls lament,

Blues the voice of lost love.

reverberating night,
raucous in smoke filled room,
repetitive drum beat,
resonant voice arose,
recapturing lost soul,
rock to wisdom of song,
remember Bob, no cry!!

The Sun is coming up
And im on my last drink
And ive smoked my last fag
Sitting in a smoke filled room
Of today's beer and sleeping fear
For i shall awake
A shell of a man
With a hell of hangover
And smoky breath
Ever closer to a pointless death
But Hey
At least tomorrow is Sunday
Small mercies...

underneath my silhouette 
it's always "liek" dusk. 

i hear a marching band in the fog,
a damp echo, some dilute
nightmare.

i still exhale you.

an illuminated allegory
i will forever see.

i sense it's fundamental,
like an imperfect cell 
wanning away inside;
my smoke filled lungs.

Slow death transcends the rush of tide
Still breath beneath a smoke filled sky
Pale ghosts arising from the past
Stand row by row from first to last
Like silhouettes of lifeless trees
In setting sun, no foot shall flee
But sink they into desert sand
While hate consumes the life of man

Silence shutters in through the fresh air
streaked windows painted in despair
star struck visions seek the light
hidden inside the distant night
-----------------------------
Smoke-filled eyes blink
gasps trying to think
a whisper heard
no just a bird
-------------
so missed
a twist
sighs
why

they're cold but they don't judge
blue lights respond to everyone
even her, so small, hiding
in a wardrobe
tree lights are other lights
sparkling joyously, festively
it was difficult watching my own play
after her, so small, smoke filled,
never getting to play with whatever
she got under those other lights

A devils wind blew in
the stars covered the sky
smoke filled the air, not a soul to be heard
a ghost town full of fright
a wild heart on the loose
a gun slinger he'll shoot
his love is barren, broken with an arrow
on an eagles wing he flie's
a devils wind is blowing in
one's man love, barren among the crazy hearts
now he flie's.....

A devils wind blew in 
 the stars covered the sky
 smoke filled the air
 not a soul to be heard
 a ghost town, full of fright 
 a wild heart on the loose 
 a gun slinger, he'll shoot
 his love is barron
 broken with an arrrow
 on an eagles wing, he fly's
 a devils wind is blowin' in 
 one mans love, barron among the crazy hearts
 he now fly's...
