I do !

Unlike you, my folk

I do drink-

The drinks of heavenly delight

That slips down my throat

Quenches my thirst-

High, I go-

With each drops-

Here, I drink-

Water!

Unlike you, my folk
I do smoke-
with no cigarettes
between the fingers
the fume- here goes unseen-
Intoxication of its kind-
With this fresh lungs-
I breathe in-
Air!

Wanna try?

Author's Note

One of my friends asked me, this very day- "Sanjeeta, do you smoke ? ". I didn't find that question surprising for some-smoking is a habit and to this curious fellow- who always holds cigarettes in his finger - Like a poet with a pen!-
I said - "I do"

Smoking is bad for the body. Ages the body and kill the necessary parts o f the body. Some habits are needed. I guess some folks make their decision and one day it shall kill them. I did like the opening lines. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

According to me both the things are harmful for us...
Sometimes we think that lets give it a try..
later it becomes a habit..
Nicely written poem!!
