Living happily ever after, comes after you decide to live happily.

Darkness is a part of light, without one, the other cannot exist. The challenge is, not letting it consume you. As with stress, its a part of life. Don't let a moment in time consume you - life is too short.

Imagine what life would be if people would love me enough to let me be me, instead of loving me for what they want me to be. Imagine.

yes i smoke

i smoke to put something in my hand

to replace the same place your hand used to rest

so maybe its a force of habit

yes i smoke

just to keep something warm near me

because most things are painfully cold lately.

a lady lights a cigarette
glowing red cherry
lips, puffing without
regret
a cigarette, burning
smoking, grey breathing
choking and
tap tap the
falling ashes

it is over with
a definitive flick —
a lady lights a cigarette
she can see her spirit
dancing in the smoke

Burn me -
everything I have:
my lungs, my body,
my soul, my sanity

Engulf me in your flames -
along with my all:
my memories, my sorrow,
my happiness, my tomorrows

Leave me in ruins -
among ashes,
among matches,
and an empty cigarette packet.
