The White Angel…..


i’m really sorry about this but one of the comments made me think that i didn’t make the poem clear enuf…… so i’m posting it again…… the poem is not about a girl… or any “friend”… its simply about… addiction to cigarette…and i’ve just personified it.. trying to convey how it hurts as well as helps….{although I in no way encourage smoking!!….}

The devil in disguise

Or maybe Godsend

But, she is what I have

My new best friend

She weakens my shell

She helps me to cry

She burns herself

But never asks me why?

As I draw her closer

My worries seem to cease

I close my eyes and relax

As she flows through me

I kiss her soft lips

I feel her warmth

The fire in body

Cools me down

Her kiss burns my lips

Her breath hurts my soul

But she does for a moment

Block the gaping hole

White like an angel

Heart, dark and dry

She helps me control

She gives me a high

But like all those

Who for me are dear and close

She exhausts herself

And burns to ashes

Like all my friends

She regrets being there,

and realises later….

That the flame on the wrong end of my cigarette

Is far greater….

Hey I guess the poem was clear in itself, i could not understand it first time, there are so many types of poems posted here and many of them hint at there themes but their actual meaning remains elusive, so I overlooked the connection you had made throughout with a cigarette…now after having understood it this looks so good :)
very well written

Apoorv, what a wonderful poem…and thanks for the calrification note in the beginning of the poem, for without it, the meaning would have changed drastically!
