Lost Between Forever & Always©

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry12 Comments

Love

Meandering through the malaise of what could have been

Dodging word-wars hurled in fiery exchanges

Delicate foreskin of its fortitude penetrated

Breaking down its defenses

Love

Wandering brokenly

Unsure and afraid

Not finding its way

Lost somewhere between forever and always

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.
