The Last Cigarette

The clanging metal

The searing psyche

Of orange ‘n red embers, burning inside

Held twixt my fingers, with every breath of life.

A silken touch on chapped lips

A heaving breathe of smoky whorls

The craving soul, the cackling nerves

A rush of the head and the thirst within.

The velvety dark sky, a mayhem inside.

The delight of the soul, a moment’s respite.

A moment of being,

A sense so sublime.

When everything ceases to be.

And life runs against time.

The day behind me, darkness to come

I gaze at my last cigarette and marvel how time flies!
