Lovelorn Poets in NYC: One

Missed Connections in Manhattan

This might not happen often
that i feel
i might breathe heavily
but there’s so much hope
there is so much hope out there

to complete all the puzzles
to create a flow
to get the current, the warmth
we all know
the nourishment we all want
feed on
we want to feed on
and then only sometime
with the right amount of tears
in our eyes
and smiles on our lips
trance-like
we know
it was all worth it
we know
it was all for a reason
let’s elevate
above
now
