Smoke Rings

smoke rings... 
once blown winsomely into the night
mischievously... played at being sophisticated
excitedly... summoned your lips to mine 
as our butterfly-hearts 
flapped... frolicked...
rollicked... against our ribs
in a heady-fog 
of intoxicating 
first-love's...
deliciously... naive nectar 

oh, we beamed brightly then 
....beneath the stars
we shone...
a spectacular supernova
our jewelled eyes
too precious for words   
our hearts and heads
filled to the brim... 
spilling... romantic hopes and dreams
as we serenaded each other...
with mellifluous promises of love

later...
our toned... tuned tongues
seductively danced
emulated... curled...
silvered sleek-ribbons of smoke 
fluently...
into a bewitchingly fevered fluidity  
quenching our mind's carnal thirst 
with lust's juice of jeopardy  
as each other's taste... still lingered
opulently... in our mouths
  
now... the rings ridicule 
their emptiness... echoes
scorching holes in my mind
that only you... can fill
flaunting... wistfully before me
haunting hallucinations
of things...
which never came to pass 
putrid...stale smoke chokes... 
it strangles the memory of us 
tries to smothers the void... left by you
