Poetry : Smoke


Smoke

They say I need smoke to have fire
I must befriend this grey creature
Because there are things I need to burn
But its hard because we've been enemies

My blood does not pretend to be wine
It remains thick and bleeds with truth
I've fought hard to keep the smoke away
To be real, honest, bare, naked and true

But I must try, I must try to tell this lie
The way of the world as they all say
Smoke and fire - best friends forever
Smoke, grey smoke, hiding my fears
