"occurrence" as it is used is a missed opportunity, methinks. Why were they welcome? (sarcasm aside)
Other than that, pretty frickin' solid.

i no comprenday "lips which life my down"
I like how you say "you define in a single kiss
The inexpressible"
De-lark the last three lines, and remove the word love once and the whole thing will be better for it.
-7- prolly a good deal higher without the first crit.

Hmmmm. stinky, and I'm annoyed at the waste of the precious posting space (not being blessed with multiple user names - and I'm not saying you are either, and besides, it's perfectly legal).
-5- cuz it's the closest thing to a real haiku anyone has posted here in a while (at least it's about nature).

I LOVE titanium.
Glad you liked the delta - some folks round these parts don't take kindly to semicolons though, so - watch yer back...

I don't hate it. It's got a fresh format too.
I almost hate the last part, but the others are so good I'm willing to live with it.
and if the "love" in the title has anything to do with tennis scorings, I will re-visit this with a ONE.

VEry dense. Too dense imho. A few real gems in there and I would have stuck with it if there was some satisfying payoff at the end (pretty much anything except a hand kissed goodnight).
Prolly five really good poems in there.
dig
them
out.

Suggestion is easy, just flush all the words after the comma.

a witness [of] moments repeated"

A nice conceptual run! and your first 'haiku'; good job. Too bad we don't have another classification for 5/7/5 poems.
try these as cinquain (2/4/6/8/2)

Hey - this is really pretty good. I'm thinking the rhyming might take away from the seriousness of it, but as it is - it works.
How about another version without rhyme? But keep this one too. -8-

"liquescent" - nice, also: "non compos mentis eye"
I like this - I would like it more without the half sentence after the last comma. -8-

Reads pretty good, actually. Sometimes those wings can give a pre-impression.
Couple crits for you, if you are so inclined.
a comma after "decency" would work well overall, methinks
nest-[sites]? or were you making a play on "nasty"; either way.
"bust seats"? what is that? bus seats? if the "nest-sties" was intentional, then I'd believe this was too.
The last two lines are - perfect.

(nor do I agree INTRANSIT is a simpleton, btw)
do a little research on adelaide crapsey for the scoop on cinquain - good stuff. Here's a good example:
"Triad"
These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow ... the hour
Before the dawn ... the mouth of one
Just dead.
