Smoke is elegant
Tapering into lacy patterns
Giving in to air's sweet suffocation
Although
The beauty derives from something so beastly
Toxins and grotesque nicotine
Rolled in a pretty white package
It begs for attention
To be wrapped in our lips
Engulfed, enclosed in the safety
Of our screaming lungs
We suck in its smothering fumes
Inviting the death that follows
It steals our attention, our choice
Forever in its grasp
Smoke may be undeniably entrancing
However, smoking is nauseating and
Inevitably cynical
