smoke rings...
once blown winsomely into the night
mischievously... played at being sophisticated
excitedly... summoned your lips to mine
as our butterfly-hearts
flapped... frolicked...
rollicked... against our ribs
in a heady-fog
of intoxicating
first-love's...
deliciously... naive nectar
oh, we beamed brightly then
....beneath the stars
we shone...
a spectacular supernova
our jewelled eyes
too precious for words
our hearts and heads
filled to the brim...
spilling... romantic hopes and dreams
as we serenaded each other...
with mellifluous promises of love
later...
our toned... tuned tongues
seductively danced
emulated... curled...
silvered sleek-ribbons of smoke
fluently...
into a bewitchingly fevered fluidity
quenching our mind's carnal thirst
with lust's juice of jeopardy
as each other's taste... still lingered
opulently... in our mouths
now... the rings ridicule
their emptiness... echoes
scorching holes in my mind
that only you... can fill
flaunting... wistfully before me
haunting hallucinations
of things...
which never came to pass
putrid...stale smoke chokes...
it strangles the memory of us
tries to smothers the void... left by you
