I have no
no this and
no that but
what I don’t
have is nothing
you see having
is far less
more than nothing
is ever no
nothing implies that
something is missing
whereas no only
leads to yes
to one’s everything

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.
Attract
We attract
that which
we are
not what
we want
or need
so be
the thing
that you
desire others
to be
Ms.Orchid
She blossoms just
once a year
always around now
during this season
she sits quietly
up on her
perch in window
waiting and watching
time go by
and by little
orchid magic hangs
her own yellow
and red ornament
as if to
say happy holidays
Last
The last one
be it cookie
slice of pizza
or single man
seldom gets picked
often gets tossed
frequently gets forgotten
like some afterthought
but I wonder
what it’s like
to be the
last one left
looking around thinking
where’d they go
when’d they leave
Happiest
If this
isn’t Heaven
then I
don’t know
where it
is or
how it
could ever
be better
on judgement
day just
leave me
here with
my happiness
I’ll take
the next
train home
