Words of smoke

Under a burnt ash of brain, glowing embers of a heart remain

Smoke words raise high, cloud poems in an empty sky

Virgin eyes that stare, see different images in that air

To one a marker of graves, to another a cross that saves

In sparks to smoke dreams depart

From a flaming heart, billowing emotions paint their art

then drift away through the open door of day

Riding on the back of time, smoke rhyme at which we did stare

soon becomes just thin air
