I will
get there
having already
been here
too long
here sometimes
breeds laziness
whilst there
offers surprise
and all
sorts of
silliness too

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
Comics
Giving up
everything giving
up it
all and
starting new
so many
different times
now that
I’m more
a comic
strip than
a novel
and laugh
I do
Smell
The smell lingers
fragrance or aroma
it hangs there
veils of seduction
or cobwebs haunt
one drapes and
the other hides
because it’s fresh
it does beguile
or maybe because
it’s stale it
repels but sweep
aside I do
looking for dessert
or dirty dishes
Chair
In a chair
I sit there
it has wheels
running for me
fly I do
stop like glue
this I fear
bringing such sneer
he is less
they may guess
of a man
who once ran
Mad
Oh but if
I were a
belfry bats would
fly escaping from
the madness free
to wander watching
from afar as
the bell tolls
stay away friends
