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

June 4, 2018 by lovelornpoets

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.

~Your Poet~

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.

Lovelorn Poet in Outer Banks, NC: Dear Outer Banks I Miss You So Much

May 21, 2018 by lovelornpoets

outer banks by unknown

My dear, sweet, mysterious, sultry outer banks ever calling my name…..
I think of you everyday.
I miss your smell, your taste, the way you feel beneath me, the way I feel when I am there with you.
I feel Free, a million miles from reality and any worries.
I feel refreshed and that anything and everything is possible.
I love that no one knows my name there and I can be anyone that I want to be… an author, a psychic, a gypsy.
I’ll be back soon.
I feel myself being drawn to you.
I want to cover myself in coconut oil and dance the night away under your full moon.
I love you always and forever.
~S

Over the years, I’ve only ever found one other post from the Outer Banks that I wanted to publish here (and that was back in 2012). I saved this message because it wasn’t so much a missed connection about a person, but about a place that resonates. And hey, photos of the ocean are always pretty welcome in my world.

Lovelorn Poet in Raleigh-Durham, NC: ~The Waves~ (Your Poet)

Waves by Ram Yoga

Im’parting thee
My part, my render
To find the wave
And then re’member

Surrendering
What I knew
The waves
that crashed
And then withdrew

~Your Poet

I believe I discovered the first Your Poet poem on the Raleigh-Durham MC back in early 2014. With a distinct use of language and framework, these poems evoke a long-ago time but with a modern day message. My favorites would be Dance’sing and Christmas Spirit. Thank you for sharing your work with us for all these years!

Simple by Ida

Bright and blue, was the day
I ran into you.
Not a cloud in the sky!
I heard all of these amazingly birds Singing.
Butterflies around, the sweet smell or nectar.
It was like , Beethoven’s symphony some might say.
But in the end, all I heard was
“When I was blue, stoned blue” rock-n-roll and shot or two please help me through!

“When I was blue, stoned blue”
all I heard was
Beethoven’s symphony
Butterflies around,
some might say.

rock-n-roll and shot or two
please help me through!
was the day
the sweet smell or nectar

But in the end,
I ran into you.
Bright and blue,

It was like,
I heard all of these amazingly birds Singing.
Not a cloud in the sky!

Shadows by Jeanne Menjoulet

I Love you so
And do not lie
The Truth asunder
And wander why
Fore shadows cast
A light of thee
That ye did lie
Beside of me

~your poet~

beside thee
and ye of me
the light of a wander
that forecast shadows

truth and love lie asunder

I do not lie
so you did

why
