Ephemeral As Smoke Poem by Matthew Moser

Ephemeral As Smoke



The smoke I exhale drifts by,
Under the blue sky,
And I like smoke fade away.

All that I am is decay,
A broken hearts dream,
There I wish I could of stayed,

I saw her face in my dream,
and her lost longing gaze,
But her eyes have since strayed.

I am ephemeral smoke,
An old toxic air,
Lost and alone in despair,

But I am only decay,
And as smoke will fade,
But I wish I could of stayed.
