smoke

when the
spirals pull
me deeper
i long to
be kissed
until the
world evaporates
yet all i
manage is
to quicken
the spinning

her smile
the only true
dramamine in
a world of
vertiginous
sorrows
faded in the
silent eternity
of shattered
dreamdander in
vapid decline

I certainly felt as though I were spiraling downward as I read. Beautifully crafted!

thanks for spinning out with me, and the kind words.
