Words of smoke

sorenbarrett

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

        Thanks Orchi I like fresh air too. They tell me I'm full of hot air as well but that comes from the fire in the belly.

          A fight between two, even when the heart pounds sadness and disappointment at the end of the day the air is cleared. Truly beautiful and speaks loud and clear to me. 🌹
