I could search this city at night with lamps <br />For a piece of clothing <br />You left behind with the fragrance of your perfume <br />And the lovely remnants of your lipstick kiss. <br /> <br />I would be in utter bliss <br />With my contemplations of your brown hair <br />Sweetly swaying in the summer breeze <br />And what it would mean to me <br />If you were close enough <br />So I could feel you breathe. <br /> <br />This life is so many flower petals <br />Falling to the sacred ground, <br />But I’m trying to catch every one of them <br />And bring them to you, <br />I want to place them at your sandaled feet, <br />Never doubt this simple poetry <br />Seeking to enter your soul.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/catching-flower-petals/
