Nicotine Dreams

by Spirit   Jul 11, 2010


Let me ride on bliss colored waves
Then be poured into oblivion.
Eyes on skin, lips make friends
With hands . . . everywhere
Living for such moments

Lying in the darkness a flawless imperfection
No Venus De Milo, no Statue of David
Simply flaunting worshiped faults
while tinged in raw desire.

Swimming toward pure ecstasy
I shun the Dawn's new claim.
Keeping stable arms around me
Yearning the sun to burn the day
I want only now

A now awakened body fights to drive sanity away
Let the demon retreat into a crevice
that's enveloped by life's mundane circumstances
never to escape again

But the vicious cycle must repeat
Dependency forbids my leave
Pleasure's only an hourglass
While love is in nicotine dreams

    The periods are perfect here. You could've easily gone wrong, but seriously, they are perfect!
    This is the most beautiful of the poems I've read by you thus far. It deserved the win in my contest, thank you for participating.
    The imagery is precise, colorful, and flawless.
    Very well done.
    "viscous" <- did you mean vicious?

    I've reread this thrice now :)

    Nice job with the imagery in this piece.

    A now awakened body fights to drive sanity away
    Let the demon retreat into a crevice
    that's enveloped by life's mundane circumstances
    never to escape again

    This stanza really stood out for me.
    Good job!
    Take care
