One of the wonders of poetry is that the brilliant ones, the immensely well created and deeply felt ones, Never grow old! This one, that you so emotionally and poignantly wrote, won't get old either. Great poem!

The ashes of old lovers inhale and exhale! /// excellent poem
Dying twice It shocked but moved me emotionally. Becoming one with you again through toxic smoke.
The title seduced and the words enthralled me. How different we each are superficially and how alike in our depths..
urgghh! Words from a pained heart. this heart needs a stronger pull of love to erase the memory of the past. beautifully written

Hi Susan, Fantastic poem: There it laid what remained of your snuffed out cigar Just lying there... Left behind... Like me... How! What an expression of ultimate sorrow of a neglected and discarded soul! Heart-rending, touching. Excellent.

Really great imagery of ashes...and ashes in action. Interesting. And yes, I love the ending. Well written. I enjoyed this one. Thanks.
These lines reveal your poetic sense and its elegance.... There, before my eyes The ashes of old lovers To be dumped... discarded...emptied rinsed way... And the lines that emanate a sense of depth in understanding human mind are But first, I light it... Set fire to it's end inhale, and hold the thick unforgiving smoke... Drawing deep the pungent pleasure... And exhale... Thanks dear Susan for the lovely cute creation. Subhas
