Blow Smoke
©2013 Susan Noyes Anderson
The tension burns between us;
I contain it with a click,
give it a focal point
just inches from your lips.
And I break free––
foolproof and fireproof.
Flames lick my feet and die.
I'm incombustible.
Blow smoke.

Very handsome mosaics! Yes, wonderful pictures with exquisite skies!
That girl is not going to let anything get to her is she!
Very dramatic...like it.
So suave..so cool...so smokin' hot..so dumb to even smoke! But I love the poem with the pics!
smiles...such control///love the close, blow smoke, enshroud the lie...yep, aint none of us completely fireproof
'My Funny Valentine' was playing as I read your poem .... wow!
A little bit tough, a little bit false bravado and vulnerable, and tons of smokin' hot! Nice job.
I remember doing that.
Intriguing Sue -- Loving that vintage photo.
Three Rings for the Elven Kings, under the sky ...."""
Concentrating everything into simple gestures and hoping for more - great!
So neat!
I keep thinking I will try the Magpie Tales.
When the heck is there five extra minutes in a week, though!
Truly sensuous...whew! You nailed it!
I think you really did a great job of matching the photo to the words. You are awesome!
Blessings!
