John Jones Poet Rhyme

Sometimes

Sometimes I smell your hair on the pillow when I wake from restless sleep, yawning.
Sometimes I taste your toothpaste kiss whilst brushing my teeth in the morning.
Sometimes I detect a frissance of perfume in the most unexpected places.
Sometimes I see your crooked smile, unexpectedly, on complete strangers faces.
Sometimes I forget that you're no longer here and hear your voice softly calling.
Sometimes I feel your untimely death is cruel, unfathomable and appalling.
