a shameless love letter to that guy from tinder
by Allyson Sirois
two months of you felt like a single exhale
lost in the wind
like a sustained eye contact from that beautiful girl walking past
too short to fully appreciate
long enough to think about all day
we slept a bit less
to taste each other a bit longer
I daydreamed the days after
with bags under my eyes that safely kept memories

A Puddle
by Mercury M
A puddle
Created by the condensation of their drinks dripping onto the bar
Chemistry and conversation
Intense and exciting
Wiped away by a napkin after last call
To be reproduced on another night, and then another
A puddle
Begged for in the heat of the moment
Salt and spit
......
We talked of Beginnings
by Robert Chase
We sat at the lake and talked of Beginnings
Difficult to concentrate - with your head thrown back
the sun glistening
on your caramel skin
head to pink-socked toes
You talked of how beginnings always end
Fits of complacency and contempt
Meaning settled on me like thick honey
Wanted to say we were an exception
......
Again
by Robert Chase
So happy to see blue skies again
Billowing whites floating along like cotton candy
Thick summer breeze blowing out smoke and haze
So happy to breathe easy once again
Sipping on margaritas - eating chips and guac
You looking so cute in faded red and blue
Conversation flowing as smoothly as tequila and lime
Punctuated by smiles and gentle laughter
We shared our stories, then strolled the trail
......
A Light in Smedley park
by Robert Chase
Amongst the ordinary, you shone with an uncommon brilliance
In the overcast dimness of the grove, you cast a welcoming glow
Enveloped by the chill of the afternoon, you warmed with an inner essence
