Capt. James F. Adamouski

If I Could
If I could wrap
a flag around my shoulders
like the wings
of an angel
I'd fly to you
right now.
If I could flip
love letters like
pennies
up to heaven
I'd write to you
a hundred times a day.
If I could ring all the church
bells at once, in morse code
I'd beg god each night
at 6 o'clock
to send you
back to me.
-Michelle M. Buchanan

Absolutely stunning.
This is just the kind of poem I love. Gorgeous in it's simplicity.
