Lovelorn Poet in Savannah, GA: Thereafter (Bison Jack)
Desk and Chair by anyjazz65
It is true that I often think
about you and there are days
at my desk when the memories
of what might have been are
my muse, but after all these
years when I ran into you on
the street today and looked
into your daughter’s eyes,
I finally saw the place where
all the time goes.
–Bison Jack
On Desk Street
There are days
where I think about
what goes when
It is true that when I ran
after the muse
into the time
into the place
my memories of my eyes
might have been
your daughter’s
I finally looked at these
and often
Thereafter
you saw all but
you
and
the years are all
today
Lovelorn Poet in Seattle, WA: Missed Kiss Haiku For Hopefuls
date
The kiss that we missed
came at the end of the date.
I still have my half.
Not really. I almost never kiss on a first date. But does not kissing mean anything?
Probably not, but if you don’t try to kiss me, it is like an open question. Not time or no interest?
Or (better yet, just asking,) does kissing mean something? Does it mean we feel it? Right then, right away?
Or that we’re testing if we feel it?
Or you don’t care about it. (whatever ‘it’ is)
What if only one of us feels it, and it’s me?
So I almost never do, then I wonder if you wanted to.
Missed Connections are filled with good, bad and missed-kisses-haiku. Did you write one? Did you find one? Before you start over analyzing all possible outcomes and their possible meanings, email the link to Lovelorn Poets! We’ll preserve those something-someone-syllables for all eternity.

Scar Tissue by Bob Scott
Come to me
Naturally
No pretense
As is
All the battles have been fought
You won
A little dinged up
Makes you more lovable
Imperfection rocks
You Rock me
You have fought me
You won
A little
Scar Or Two

Come
No more rocks
No Make-Up
All pretense is Imperfection
Makes me lovable
As A Rock
