Five Farewell Cigarettes

You lit one, Between the bar we and strangers were blended in hecticness Your face faded by the smoke around the walls I needed no clear view,I liked ur mew , by the way Sipped one drink,words were flowing You lit your second, you twisted the smoke, threw it to the stuffy air My eyes were following, wondering where those smokes would rupture I did the same, repeatedly You did the same,vividly, in heavy breathe, sour and dry laughing at the beginning to the next ciggarette Your eyes were getting glazed As if looking into something deep down of an answer from nonsensical question Of a bitter sweet, perhaps of a foolish surrender you have made,perhaps Of a misery in your chest you had kept probably Or of unspoken words, no need to be declared I blew those smokes around you You were laughing This city was made for strangers, Strangers like Us We own  every corners as we linger in our presence Pretending we have no other lives but here For those who wait, I know no fear A car passed by, it honked too loud We both yelled and laughed at it Interupting long loud lamentation in silence You swallowed your pain I knew it, We shouldn't have shared any kiss or touch We both yawned We could hear chairs behind were sliding They were leaving Through your satire, I still laughed Cigarettes were smoldering, while you talked Reflected in the glass and eyes You wish to go,carefree feet I will give We walked through the hymn of blue eve As the city road collapsed and expanded, wider in your pupils I waited and watched Words as your hands tickled (in) my mind Burning skin as your gently touch wiped through You lit your last , it was time Again you twisted the smoke Again my eyes were following where it would go, Your silence are too loud Light from midnight so dim Creating a ghost that was dancing on your somber face Our fingers quickly interlocked, tightly  through the ticking clock Soon the sun was set, at the first dawn We shared no more cigarettes and talk  or maybe it was not me or you who were sitting All after time, tables and chairs Even when we are no longer there But it  lingers in years Every scent in every scene So long , another time perhaps
