I am not your five minute
cigarette break
you cannot light me up
whenever you’re in the mood
and put me out when you’re tired.
Guden Oct 2017
As I light up
This last blonde cigarette,
I think of music,
Of boats sailing through smoke,
Smog.
Stars that fall in the ocean,
Cosmonauts drifting through space,
Their ship destroyed
Like a mother who has given birth.
Memories of photographs.
I think of her
As usual.

In front of the bar
a thin guy in an oil-stained t-shirt
pulled out a pack of cheap cigarettes
from his front jeans pocket.
"You got a light, buddy?"
I pulled out my black Zippo.
He turned his pack upside down
and a single gold coin fell into his palm
along with a half-smoked cigarette.
"What's with the coin?"
"I always carry it," he said.
"If I drop dead,
I want the ******* who finds me
to have a good day."
A moment.

If only I could tell you

how much the spiders

on my eyes appreciate you,

then the sentences that hang in the air

would be pinned to the ceiling

and the cigarette

would still be unlit

in the corner

by the lamp.

I come home and I sit on my desk chair.
Lighting a cigarette listening to music, I feel alone.
Not in the sense that I have no one in my life,
but in that moment I feel very alone, as If I needed you.
I longed for your touch and your soft lips
that had been on mine before.
Maybe that's the feeling you're suppose to have
when you loose the person you love.
Maybe you're suppose to feel alone,
so you know how important that person truly is.
Maybe that's just how this game is played.

The last moments of us kissing
It tasted like my first time smoking
The feelings were sad and bitter
The tastes that I refuse to remember
Let's pray for the world. It feels like killing is such an easy thing nowadays.

Your name,
like the sweet, stinging aroma
of a half-burnt cigarette,
always seems to
                               linger.

Creeping
into
the backs of my brain

A reminder of
                          
                           blissful temptation.
