Going up in Smoke

She loved cigarettes
more than she loved life.
The only thing to bring her warmth
was to light her lungs on fire.

The first two lines say it all.
Sad to say I/'/ve seen it many times myself and you can do little to stop it. Great write.

anytime is kind of why
looking at the past / stretching out
for some relief from these patches
of blue and myth
there is all this /and all these things
people aspire to make a buck from
the tobacco plant
knowing what they knew

all the gravity of everything
makes us wonder/ the struggles of so many/ while some others pleasantly ignorant of it all sauntering on past/ and then the gravity of it all with a showering
of regret.

the human breed / the unshakable blue from life or even maybe genetic
the eating of dirt / or the rebellion of progress against
the back drop of only fear.

Peace!

That man made addiction is one of the worst

Brings the reality home to you doesn/'/t it?
We are a strange race of beings sometimes.
We light sticks of fire and draw in the smoke.
Wonder what the animals think of our antics

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
