You?

VirgaPetrichor
Are you who I search
When the petrichor rises
Softly to meet me?

    Perfect.

    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.
