Her Perfume On A Pillow Fades Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Her Perfume On A Pillow Fades

Rating: 4.9


Cold rain
On an autumn morning,
I was alone by railroad tracks;
I smiled and wept
In the damp, lonely fog.

When I can’t remember
Your perfume
Or the bed where we slept,
I’ll probably be in a coffin
With nothing left to forget.

This describes a love that transcends everything else in life, even tho' it has ended. I can feel that rain...

Can't you be buried with her pillow Uriah, then you won't feel so lonely, will you? Beautiful but a little on the sad side. But I liked the storyline. Love Ernestine XXX

Somewhat morbid Uriah, but that should not detract from the fact that this is a very strong piece. I like how you have sectioned the piece into two stanzas, stating that they are a part but seperate. The word within the lines work very well.
