moments

moments

When thoughts never stop 

Moments sometimes tinge

with an off-coloured brown 

Like old cigarettes 

Or paper that’s been burnt at the sides.

Moments 

All white and crisp 

Until the flaming end

Of rolled up paper and tobacco 

Preys on the corners edge

Threatening to let it all go

Up in flames

Smoke seeps out of the paper plane  

Fogs up eyes and mind

It wavers and serenades 

Seducing simplicity 

A flame flirting my tranquillity.
