Beforeword: What is your IT?

Here IT comes again

Softly this time

Not loud enough
to break you

Only enough
to remind

Of almost

Of if only-could-have-been

Of dreams
that outlived
the dreamers

You gather
the scattered pieces
of conversations

Read meanings
that were never written

Retrace
well-worn paths

Knowing
where they end

Night stretches

Sleep waits
at the edge
of turbulent thoughts

Morning arrives

Quiet

Asking
to begin again

And still

You leave
a little space
beside hope

Just in case

IT

finds you
first

Throwback #1 — D.O.A.© [with video]

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry4 Comments

Before-word: This piece was written based on the culmination of experiences of those of us who’ve encountered a lying, deceitful, manipulative narcissist who masqueraded as love. Who among us haven’t had such an encounter that leaves our hearts laden with rue. This is a live recording of a recital of D.O.A. at the Bowery Poetry Café (NY City).

This was the very first post on the blog. I’m using it to start a series—“Throwback”—to highlight posts of those early blogging days. Today’s Throwback contributes to Fandango’s One Word Challenge—the word is rue. I hope you enjoy watching this live recording. The audience reaction was electric!!

Thanks you for journeying along.
