Confessions in Smoke

In a stark yet compelling confession, this poem lays bare the unfiltered desires that linger in the shadows of human connection. Through the rhythm of raw emotion and evocative imagery, it explores the tension between fleeting passion and the quieter moments that follow, inviting readers into a world of vulnerability and unvarnished truth.

I confess,
It’s all about the press,
The pull, the thrill,
Then the hush of cigarettes.

I confess,
The see-through dress,
A whispered caress,
Undone, undone—sex, sex, sex.
