Lovelorn Poet in Raleigh-Durham, NC: Impaired (Your Poet)

Impaired Vision by Ian Henderson

Might hearts
Be broke
To self dis’pair
Until, in’part
You find your pair

They go by twos
Yet one they share
A souljourn born
Re’pair
Re’pair

With Love, please do
Forgive me much
‘Twas consumed in self
With such & such

Boring things
A muse myself
I just got…forgot
My one, true wealth

Those eyes familiar
Those eyes
You SEE,
Im’paired with Love
Im’paired with me.

Today, I was digging through the “ancient history” archive of saved Missed Connections poems, and this one from Raleigh-Durham’s Your Poet grabbed my attention. Impaired has some nice word-play, and if you read it at a slow pace, thinking and visualizing a bit after each line, a very nice story is created by the time you reach the end.
