lost love poems

The Trouble with Harry | Ricky Garni

At the coffee shop, I was marveling at how much the acorn
resembles both the pineapple and the artichoke. So I took a
picture of it and showed it to my friend. He looked at it for
a moment and then he said “You know that’s not an acorn –
that’s Harry Houdini, who was born in Wisconsin.” What
else do you know about Harry Houdini? I asked him, did
he die of a broken heart? Suddenly Harry became very
enigmatic. Perhaps a better word for it would be moist.
It was raining: the acorns had disappeared.

Beautiful Ghosts | Fotoula Reynolds

A river of memories
Flow into my life
Dancing like dragonflies
Chasing each other

Grey photographs inside
The album of my mind
Fingertips turn pages
On skin is last decade’s dust

Armchair dreams make me smile
Love journeys with heart and hands
Unaccountable footprints
Reach the ancient elm tree

Two bodies ignite the dawn
Dew drops fall from leaf to leaf
And the distance in their eyes is
A homecoming they can’t deny

Beautiful ghosts lay lost
Between walls of heavy sighs
Reminiscing in corridors
Nobody gets away unhurt
