Lovelorn Poet in Brooklyn, NY: For Ever

For Ever
Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY

I am the boy in the yellow shirt
standing by the water

For Ever

who followed his instincts
to the edge of the falls
and fell

in love with the ambient chatter
and soft pitter patter of
your gentle beat

I was standing by the water when
i lost my quiver from
an indian giver

and in less then an hour
i became a flower

disappearing into the
landscape

NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:

I’m taking a bit of a vacation through July 15 so I thought it would be fun to dig through the missed connections archive and re-publish some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around. Of all the poems posted to the Brooklyn MC, I believe this one is my true favorite. Who hasn’t, at some point, lost their quiver from an indian giver?
