More than just lighting it up!

I breathe you in 
Suspire you...
Those giddy spins
swirl in the air

 I suck you
Deep into me
 As if a nicotine desire
or herbal withdrawal
I suck you 
with rabidity...
You are
My daftness and my 
Adrenaline, embodied

I breathe you in...
take you in so deeply
that you became 
My scent...
My wind...
You turn into
The sweet lullaby
That runs through my head 
And echoes
Its pleasant chorus.

I breathe you in
Like a delicate wine 
and feel
Myself sigh 
and quiver…
From the dizziness of
The high.
I Breathe you in 
With both, prurient
and saintly
inspirations. 

I feel my
blood cells race
and Stiffen
And flow with 
the flitter of
unseen butterflies, as I
ideate gardens of
earthborn joys. 

True that I breathe you in
Like carbon monoxide
Not aware if
Your aroma
will arouse or kill

Slowly. I breathe you
Into me...
give you a role in my
Blood flow's story 
And so I 
Si-i-i-i-i-iigh  
till you sting

A cigarette… 
that skids through my arteries
giving me wings to
The High of Heaven. 

Replying to The High… 
Resonating to The High
Smiling to The High
While I dance at the bottom
Every time, I cease my sight
To slowly 
Deeply 
Breathe 
You
In…

It makes you high and forget about the worries, though momentarily. So careless that we even neglect what is written in bold. The statuary warning of it being a killer.

Yet, it could be like love, irresistible once you fall for it.

Nice read.

Cheers,

Stupendously amazing. Everything from the vocabulary to the image you created with it is astounding. It totally gave me the feeling I know of what it is like. Also loved the title.

Do read Cigarettes And Ashes
