Christopher Bunton Poet Kimo

Departing Soul

The sweet, sweet smell of a departing soul.

Your face blurring with my tears,

as your warm hand grows cold.


The sound of children weeping breaks the heart,

with tears flowing down their cheeks,

salty kisses to part.



For the "Senses"  contest.

Joe Flach January 11, 2012 at 9:41 PM Well, it certainly touched my senses. "The sweet smell of a departing soul" - I love that line! And, I also like the next one - "your face blurring with my tears" - that is a very creative way to make me see you crying while looking into the face of a dying loved one. Nicely done. Christopher Bunton January 12, 2012 at 5:47 AM Thank You!!
