I Smell You

Years have traversed
Pushing thoughts astride
Ushering in new desires
Sunsets may fade away
Siring newborn tomorrows
Yearning for blessed knowledge
I who feels the scent of love
On my death bed.
Organ plays the last verse
The hearse carries the last rose

Gary Bateman Date: 5/1/2018 9:54:00 AM Hello Art!! Outstanding free verse here. Very expressive and to the point. Yes, there is always a sort of unique smell that seems to accompany a person who is dying or has just died. Sad, but true. Enjoyed this one!! Cheers and Best, Gary Login to Reply

Jan Allison Date: 4/30/2018 9:17:00 AM Fascinating poem Arthur, After reading Arturo's comment ... knowing my luck I'll just smell flatulence on my death bed and there are to be no flowers - prefer to have them now when I can enjoy them:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply

Arturo Michael Date: 4/30/2018 6:04:00 AM I do believe the senses will be peaked just before departing...what smells we take might determine our destiny... Intriguing... Login to Reply

Lisa Ricci Date: 4/30/2018 4:18:00 AM Good Morning Arthur. In my opinion this is poetry because the emotive factor is present and reaches the reader as does the voice and tone. Wonderful and expressive. Login to Reply
