Disclaimer: I'm writing FMA poetry. Seriously people, if I owned any part of FMA, do you think I would have the time to be writing FMeffingA poetry?

AN: I'm tired out of my wits. Hence the lackluster title. The pairing (because there is always a pairing) is...well, if I wrote this poem right, you should be able to figure that out from reading it! So if you have no idea who the characters I'm writing about are, please let me know! Enjoy!

"Smoke"

Somewhere along the lines, the smoke
became a reminder, a punishment;
no longer the comfort
it used to
be.
He exhaled, closed his eyes as he puckered his lips
and as the fag touched them
he imagined a pair of lips instead, soft
and forceful. He
brought his arm back to his side
and exhaled again, the smoke curling around
him, the scent heavy, his imagination lacing it with
sweat.
And he smiled. He
had smelled like this, the grey ashy scent
clung to him like a lover and hid
even in his most secret and sacred
of places.
But the mouth that tasted of fire
the mouth that sent him ablaze, in the middle of the night
called out another name…
