Cigarette

Cigarette

A Poem by Oceana
"

baby, light me up

"
you are a cigarette
each drag more
toxic
    ashy
        addictive
than the last

tonight
i'm lighting
you up

Wow. Amazing poetry. Love can be like a cigarette. Addicting and make you want to repeat the action once again and again. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

You have the amazing gift of putting such meaning into very few words. Amazing.

Thanks so much, love
This work is amazing the way it is. The change that you are contemplating would give it more power--more punch and make the double entendere stand out more. I being the firey, bold and lusty celt that I am would make the change--ultimately, tho, it is your work so to change or not to change is your call.

Namaste, you amazingly creative soul
