What would I do without a mind?
What would I do without a society to shape that mind?
To influence it?
To taint it?
To glorify it?
What would I do without the memories of such glory and such tache?
An orphan on a deserted island, with nothing from the outside world, save the produce of Nature which surrounds me.
I suppose I would be free....

You?
Are you who I search When the petrichor rises Softly to meet me?
THIS is how poetry should be, a haiku should sound! - a myriad meanings, as in, petrichor evoking in you a deep need for someone unknown but wanted desperately (as in 'have you ever missed someone you have never met?'), or maybe the nostalgia that petrichor takes us back in time to, which would make it bringing back a longing memory of a person known.
Very nice. And, of course, the flower, its colour, and its label of virgapetrichor speak of unfulfilment, beauty, incompleteness and passion and of course love.
hey! first timer here.. came across your blog while accidentally searching for something else... loved the simplicity and the emotions evoked in this post..
Perfect.
