A puff of high lows


Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
I close my eyes in the night.
Feeling so calm and numb,
Lost my senses and fell in trance.
Childhood memories flash
Like a thunder striking clouds.
Falling heavily on the bed, I recall,
Of sweet- innocence, love, sanctity.
I open my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
I shut my eyes even more tight.
A puff taken deep and heavy,
I now recall of sweet love,
Which was all above.
I reckon the tender body touch
And sweet voice I loved so much.
I open my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
My eyes lose all vision and sight.
I saw you leaving my door,
Wish I had courage to stop you go.
Now, you make me feel so low
You pain me to the heart’s core.
I open my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
I see the slit on my wrist.
I felt a lingering pain
Lost my senses, felt in vain.
In dark silence, watch the blood flow.
I felt your wet kisses on my lips
I open my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
I was in the hospital bed
I felt I was all dead.
I felt so heavenly in a paradise.
I walked through the angels so bright.
They sung me songs so nice,
Of peace, love and joy.
I open my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

Seven bucks a smoke and a light,
I lean against the wall.
Glancing the glowing moon so white,
I wish I had prevented my fall.
Like the cactus needle on my skin,
I shut my eyes to feel it all
Hands in the air, all is gone.

  1. i like this one.. just i don't like the repeated first and last bits.. maybe i don't understand this form of poem. i like the dark but i feel the concept and play on love could have been a bit more mature in its content and the love and betrayal could have been played with a bit more darkly na? what u think?
