she was silently undressing
the vulgar forever
making light of reality
she confuses the comfort
of need and addiction

2 packs a day
and the heat
of your breath
coils around
the heart
of the subject
you're going
and nothing
should change that
and yet
I can't tear my eyes
from your decline
into madness
stripping our names
from all possible futures

You look exotic and mysterious in your pic! Seeing a photo of you was an unexpected delight!

Wow! To your poem! Packs a punch! A very good write!

Hugs to you, Dear K!

I agree, this is powerful and packs a punch- most painful.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

You wrote the decline so well, ~K~
Could feel your words aching and sense the cost of your pain.

A belated welcome to Passions, it's nice to read you here.

K, the title begged for a read.
Though sad, the write was outstanding.
And that picture is fantastic!

Sensual in the words but the experience doesn't sound the same.

Lightly touched subject leaving the reader to understand what was touched.
