Catching Flower Petals

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