Cigarette Man

I reach out to touch
black curly locks
so beautiful, so beautiful.

I want to twine
them round my fingers
to enjoy the sensation.

Coffee and cigarettes
are all that matter
to him this morning.

"I have to study"
he will say to me
to stab me once again.

Let me go, now
with memories of Montreal
and curls twined round my fingers.

Please tell me what you think

      re" Cigarette Man

      I'm so sorry I didn't respond to you before; I confused you with a complete perv. Maybe happened before? Your AP names are so simial. Thank you for reading my poem & thank you for your compliments. I am always so dissapointed when I log on to see no one has read or commented on anything. And you are quite talented, so that makes my day. Thank You.
      Blessed Be,
      Rae

    This is sweet and very sad.
    'Let me go, now
    with memories of Montreal
    and curls twined round my fingers.'
    My favorite stanza. Great imagery!
