After a long time...

Before we begin, a small warning

CIGARETTES CAN, AND WILL KILL YOU. IF YOU DON'T SMOKE, DON'T START.


Okay, so I haven't really written anything that I consider poetry in quite a while. April convinced me to write down some thoughts and feelings that were randomly zipping through my head, and I did, and thought the results were not too bad. But as always, please be kind with your comments :)

Let me explain the context a little bit. I have always, for some strange reason, found the sight of a woman smoking to be intensely erotic. That, and what goes through my head every time I see a lady light up is what this is about.

April, this one's for you...



Smoke drains into her lungs,

Her breasts swell,

A forbidden pleasure.



Perfect fingers,

Perfectly formed,

Pull away from her lips,

The moist touch.



It enters her blood,

Pupils dilate,

Breathing faster,

Quivering heart,

Something awakens.



Nailpolished fingertip taps,

Spent parts break away,

A glowing tip.

I draw closer.



A sudden gust erases the smoke as it exits her nostrils.

Her hair,

The smell,

Shampoo, sunshine, last night’s warm pillow.



Got a light?

Now this is compelling me to smoke (though I quit for the last 3 months)and imagine how it all rolls down!
Yes, there is something quite erotic about the 'drag-queen' as is watching a woman eat!

Well, I'm glad you went ahead and turned your thoughts into poetry. Beautiful and yes erotic.It's been a while since I've smoked..almost makes me want to have a smoke too, lol.

Not bad Deep! So strange, remembered several poems of mine that have to do with the cigarette... will dig them out and mail them to you sometime!

You know how Any Rand describes a cigarette in Fountainhead (to be honest, thats what got me hooked to smoking!): "Controlled fire at the fingertips".

Now that's seriously wow.

@ yippeehippie - amazing eyes and smile no?
@ Dev J – DON’T!!!
@ Breeze – thank you very much indeed :)
@ April – how do you drink and NOT smoke?! I can NEVER do that!
@ Riya – wow! Thanks! Ayn Rand I’m afraid is a bit out of my league. But will try some.
