A silent night

 lost in the smoke

as it flutters in the currents

rippling out into the air in the room

fading into its expanse

the spicy rum runs too smooth

over tongue, warming soft palette

and the great beyond

while its spirits rise 

and stir their own smoke

within cranial corridors

the night rain tickles both

the cold glass panes 

and ears longing for a certain voice

the crack of a memory 

as lightning thunders in the distance

being so evident yet so evidently unattainable

when life's warring tides have pulled apart

leaving absence in the numbing peace and despondency

ears still longing for thunder

whatever they can grasp onto in that vacancy of voice
