To be
now wanted
is far
less important
than once
being had
for having
been is
always better
than hoping
to be
someone’s later

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.
Starlight
If but
each star
in the
sky is
one soul
don’t worry
about burning
brightly here
for there
you do
have and
forever will
instead here
be quiet
it’s time
to rest
ForItWill
When I think
of loving again
at my age
I know that
having loved before
I must get
this one right
for it will
be for better
or for worse
the last love
for it will
likely be the
love to which
I whisper my
last breath being
the death of
me and love
UnderstandLess
I’ve been
writing about
love for
forty years
while I
know more
about it
I’ve realized
that I
understand less
Creation
What excites
me most
isn’t you
but the
possibility of
being us
for we
have already
been but
this us
is creation
