Neverlasting: Poetry of Love, Lust & Lechery
A contemporary collection of over 150 poems by 48 writers, inspired by the vain hope, want and pain of ever-ending love. Who among us hasn’t loved and lived through the consequences? Who hasn’t wanted someone they can’t have? Who hasn’t lost someone? There is much written about everlasting love. Odes, centuries old, celebrating two perfectly matched souls. Countless romance novels, all ending in wedding bells, the happily-ever-afters of our beloved faerie tales. But what of imperfect love? The first flicker of lust. That final kiss. The meandering path between our beginnings and ends. In some ways, unfulfilled love may run deeper than any other kind. We carry it with us, even in the best of times. It makes us vulnerable. It makes us human. And, in some divine irony, experiencing it once, however fleeting and painful, is what compels us to try again and again. The writers featured in this collection have captured the darker side of romance in few words through dazzling displays of heart. Each poem is a provocative story of a love that is, could be or never was.

About the author
Nina Loard
5 books10 followersNina lives to write about the adventure of love. She spends her time imagining brave, witty characters and all the ways that they can be challenged and tested. Sweet, gentle romances do very little for her. Nina prefers to write about the gut-punching type of love that drives people to places unknown - the mysterious, dark side of attraction that complicates everything and never surfaces at the right times. Though we all want a happy ending, where's the fun in that? She thrills at making her characters work for it. Now she's wondering if she isn't slightly sadistic.
Nina was graduated from Boston College, though regularly slept through her 8 AM English class. However, she has been writing for business or pleasure most of her life. Though she has entered no writing contests, won no awards and never published a word, she is an avid reader. It wasn't until she was in her forties that she decided to write for someone other than herself. The outcome is the novel "Stolen Skye." The book stayed hidden in a folder on her laptop until she shared it with a few friends. With their encouragement, Nina sent her manuscript to several literary agents who told her that her writing was great, but that she was an "unknown" and needed a following before they would consider publishing her book. Nina welcomes you to join her team of supporters!
