Breaking Up ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

“Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving
sea between the shores of
your souls”.

Kahlil Gibran

heart-eyes blinded by love,
masquerading as roses,
supple red petals,
edges shriveled,
dried, blood-stained,
fragile to the touch,
breaking,
breaking up,
lives entangled, separating,
heart from heart, disconnecting,
intensity like a physical cut,
detaching,
like a heart in cardiac arrest,
breaking,
breaking out,
emotions fluid like blood,
discharging,
toxicity free flowing,
hurt, pain, regrets emptying,
tears of relief, cleansing,
breaking,
breaking through,
surrendering,
exhaling,
accepting,
embracing,
a new beginning.

        1. It’s encouraging to have this kind of feedback. I started the blog in October with no idea about blogging—I just knew I needed to write. But to now have a community to engage with is far better than just writing. Though I’d still write if there was no interaction but it sure does make it better. Thanks deary. Dee

                1. Hey Grace!! Just realizing I didn’t respond. I try to post every day but sometimes the work days are so hectic I have neither the time or energy after work to think or write. Some weekends I try to write a few places and queue them for the week 😊
