Love and devotion
Recriminations echo
And distance unfolds
Betrayal's wages paid
Amid cowardly acts
Where words twist
Troth dishonored
And never is there peace
For love dies
Where depths are not
Love suffers and endures
Except when it doesn't
Hold and embrace
Where narcissism rules
The shallow self
And one who would love
Impales themself
Without reservation
Or regard
For beloved betrayal

trismegistusabout 13 years agoAuthorI find the comments concerning abstraction interesting. I almost didn't post this one because to me it lacks abstraction and is almost too direct and personal, too revealing. I've withheld it from other venues because it would immediately disclose too much. Maybe I see the piece too clearly and needn't worry that it is excessively exhibitionistic. Interesting feedback.
vrosej10about 13 years agoToo abstract for my liking and the centring thing is not working for this poem.
twelveooneabout 13 years ago1. why centered?
2. why so abstract?
Seems to be trying to say something, but what could it be?
I probably gave it a 5, for it's spoof like qualities.
