Wine & cigarettes!

I drink you

in

With every sip

Alas

you aren’t

Here

To see

how I bleed

you

in my

blood stream
-------------------------

You spiral me away

With every puff

All that remains

Of me
now

Is the stub

That you grind

Under your heel
--------------------------

Frozen sparkling tears

Drying on silken webs

Of lashes….

Scattered reflections

Of shattered loving

In flashes…

Murmured whispers

Trailing on lips

Now silenced.

Now bring on
the
wine and cigarettes
killing off
bits
of
myself

------------X-----------

Incrredibly well said my dear - combined with the image above it is brilliant!

PS Vis-a-vis the post below, I could feel the pain with every word I read...sometimes the pain gets really unbearable doesn't it? I wish you well...always!

Ouch!!! Brilliant, nonetheless. I think of all the patients I see with health problems multiply after a life change. Discontent in any relationship can drive us to seek comfort in the most destructive things.

Mine is chocolate.

Pain can birth the best of poems and art. I read that somewhere. Your art and poetry feed the mind.
