a million words
that grew out of shared laughter, really
and now, after all this time and mess,
they still boil down to
only three

Portals – North Side by Michael Goodin
In an alcove we stood, you grey snowsuit and amazing eyebrows, me muted rainbow sweater, traiding witty remarks and peeks into the lives we live.
When your hat hit the icey ground you remarked, with your hand on my cheek, leave it.
In my thoughts as I walked past the snow banks was your touch.
eyes
Our eyes connected.
It’s our voices and our names
that we should trade next.
Will you walk towards me and smile? I will take it from there once I am sure it’s me receiving your smile.
First our names, and a few clumsy ‘Hellos’ and we are on our way…
Tell me your dreams and desires. Explain why you won’t go by plane, or surf in cloudy waters, or read novels in the front seat. I’m listening.
(and then) Your secret pleasures? Do tell. Maybe you eat homemade preserves straight from the jar with a spoon? Sometimes you have to eat mass market candy? Those hilarious ‘Don’t Cross’ signs mean nothing to you? You are hoping for something special? Secrets can be fun to share at times.
Go on Hopefuls 😉 There is more to gain than lose, and YOU can be the one to work the magic.
“The magic is in the trying.”
Missed Connections are filled with good, bad and magical-meetings-haiku. Did you write one? Did you find one? Before you break out the book of magic spells, email the link to Lovelorn Poets. We’ll preserve those secret-special-syllables for all eternity.
