I am
now reduction
having finally
folded in
and collapsed
within myself
having spent
years on
simmer I’m
now finally
ready to
taste be
added to
and eaten
now being
the best
least of
what used
to be

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.
ForeverBest
Used to
using you
as my
first cup
I now
reach for
my coffee
piping hot
creamy and
delicately sweet
it’s the
least having
lost my
forever best
SinglyAlone
I do
live singly
having had
and having
loved before
I don’t
see aloneness
as my
penance but
my absolution
for love
is never
a sin
only ever
a blessing
Leave
To leave
is easier
than staying
I’m cowardly
running from
not to
watching the
end unfold
breaks heart
me I
must go
on for
staying requires
grit and
not patience
but my
future does
TheMoon
It’s not
the intellectual
who bays
at the
moon but
rather the
fool for
the thinkers
knows and
wonders beyond
whereas the
fool only
knows what
he sees
nothing more
never further
