A Half-Smoked Cigarette In The Rain Poem by Julie Smith
A Half-Smoked Cigarette In The Rain
As I sit here, shaking from the walk, but definite
My fingers smelling of smoke and myself
I don't need anyone else
I think of you not him
Who was sent by an Angel this day last year
Just a refreshing distraction
Remembering the 4th of May
As the clouds' gates open
And the lightning hits the sky
My long white nails not the only thing missing
In this carbon copy of a pastel aftermath
But it's not him, it's you, the one I fell for long before
Like last year when I cried this rain in tears
Your circuit's dead again
I should have told you I'm scared of losing people
The park bench now all alone
But its role well played
I light a cigarette for the villain and the golden calf
As the sky clears and leaves me damned with you
Rain-drenched but ridiculously happy
Like the catcher in the rye
As I say goodbye to my college guy
A closure of something never made to begin
At this place as final act and promise there remains
A burnt out match
And a half-smoked cigarette in the rain
A well written poem of the day. Congrats, dear Julie for being chosen...10+++
Story of a half love and romance, nicely compared with a half smoked cigarette and a match stick. The poetess wrote a poem in a different style. It's lovely selection as member's poem. she deserves congratulations and I congratulate her.
