A Smokescreen
Hello Peeps!
I’m trying a new Photo Challenge today hosted by NEKNEERAJ. It was such an intriguing image…
Here’s what it has inspired in me. Hope you all like it.
A Smokescreen
Tears had dried up long ago
But the pain still coursed through
Snaking its way like a slow poison
Hurting with each breath that she drew
Welcoming the bottomless abyss
She often painted it grey
The poison cured her
Dulling her senses night and day
The void he left behind
Got filled with grey smoke
The deafening silence was bearable
When words mixed with fumes spoke
The vapours that blurred her senses
Engulfed her in an embrace
In the endless wait and anguish
A rolled up joint became her only solace….

No re baba… I hate smoking! I don’t understand why people like to breath in bad smelling air n then again breath it out.
Seems utterly useless to me.
