'What's my number?'
I don't know, no one ever gave me an exact count.
'We were very close for a long time, how could you do this to me? '
I have warned you even before you started to like me, my friend.

The last breath was taken but not before the never-dying puff was released and the cigarette butt was strangled to death.

-

If memories could be rolled
and puffed over,

There would be intoxication
everywhere.

-

You smell of Marlboro
and taste of half baked truths.
Darling, what brand of desolate dreams
are you puffing on tonight?

She lights a Cigarette, housed it between her nicotine stained fingers and puffing without regret. And she can see her spirit dancing in the Smoke. Floating, Flying, Flatering Smoke.
Smoke entwines around her hair
winding into her face, circling around her nose, tracing the outilnes of her gentle facade, lacing her fingertips and cuddling up close to her smooth pale skin.. The smoke in the air fills her breath with memories.. Dissipating.
Somehow a Cigarette made it easier for her to breathe. With each hacking cough she felt Alive.

# Puff Of Life

जिंदगी को कश समझकर,
धुएँ के छल्लों की तरह न उडाइए।
जिंदगी को हँसी के फौव्वारे-सा बिखेरिए।

-

तुम्हारी उंगलियों के बीच दबी हुई सिगरेट
और चेहरे पर निरंतर बदलते भाव;
हर कश पर धुंआ-धुंआ हो रही हूं मैं
चौखट के अंदर-बाहर होते हुए;

कल ख़्वाब-ख़्वाब बनकर मिले थे हम
आज राख-राख संजो रहे.

-

I'm your ash tray
You exhale your pain
through every puff
I inhale the burn
on every tap.


-The Ecstatic Pen

-

Our love was so entrancing
That when we met
You melted away
And I puffed into smoke

-

Smoking is what I can think about,
One puff, two puff, three puffs...
Just can't forget it, Smoking, smoking
Always on my mind.

Being suicidal isn't easy,
Just a step away, requires courage
Jumping, hanging, harmful....
How do I forget?

Suicidal, smoking, always on heart and mind,
They are a part of life,
What do I do?

How do I forget?
What do I do?
Smoking, suicidal isn't easy to get rid of.
What do I do?

Smoking, suicidal 'ALWAYS'

-

If Charminar were a lady,
every puff I take would be a
'Kiss of Death!'
