Your smile is my coffin
As the sunlight seems brighter than the stars while in the twilight I once longed for
So I cast away the stars, let them fade into the moon
To be burned by your heat
And smile.
You pull the air from my lungs
Gasps and sighs that shake me and leave me dizzy with a lack of oxygen
So I breathe in your tainted air, use it as my sustenance
Corroded from the inside
And smiling.
Your love is my brandy and chocolate cake
Gagging and gasping on richness, vomiting wealth of overindulgence of the improper to consume
Bulimia of emotions to keep myself from growing fat off hopes
To waste away behind the curtain
Still smiling.

Literature
Halloweenentines Day
Love in the air
Hearts everywhere
A sound behind you do you dare?
Turn your head and look back there?
Romantic date
You stayed out late.
Everything was going great
But there it is again that grate
Scraping sound
Is all around
Ghostly shadows do abound
Look for help but none is found
Passion burning
longing yearning
Something that you should be learning
A holy man should do a turning
Sight unseen
It's dark and mean
Wishing it all was a dream
You fell in love... On Halloween???
Literature
coming home
moments no longer
hang
delicately suspended
waiting
instead
deliriously happy
racing the storm
running down a street
thunder and sheets of rain
all around
wind curves around
pushes forcefully forward
leap
storm raging
pulls
up

looking into the day
take me to the waking morning where the sun dusts the city lights and the river runs to the end of the seashore, diving waves climb on the white trails of planes in the air, travel the oceans and seas sing songs as shaman prayers and dance as the high priestess i see you disappear in the clouds of utopia maybe you’ll never come back the moon will eat the light of night and numb the sleep in the eyes crawl in the drought of forgiving and flee for the danger of fire the greatness of godesses forever pure- ©gilly20170621

First, I must agree with dabby in stating that your first line is fantastic. We hear so often that the first line of a poem must grab a reader's attention. This line does that and then some.
Unfortunately, the rest of the stanza does not follow suit. The lines following are clunky, filled with extra wording, and fall flat at the end. If I were you, i'd stick to the metaphor of smile/coffin and use different imagery entirely. This will allow the first line to remain poignant and keep you from losing the reader by going off onto a tangent.
The second stanza suffers from the same wording issues. There are a number of words you could cut without losing any meaning, and this would allow the poem to read much more easily. I understand that your intention may be to throw the reader with the second line of each, but it doesn't work to your benefit here.
While the third line follows the problems with the first two, I actually don't mind it here. The wording is strong enough to carry it through its inconsistencies.
Overall, this is an excellent first draft. Work on cutting down the second line of each poem, removing the extra words that are littered throughout, and remove the fifth line from each stanza. If you do that, you will have a very powerful poem here.
