I wonder
sitting here
just how
many things
that have
been invented
were mistakes
and supposed
to be
something else
like us
I suppose
having been
one thing
you promised
and another
I saw

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.
NotWhy
I know now
what and the
what doesn’t include
a why it
does include a
when and where
and a who
all single things
which could lead
to my loneliness
instead this focus
leads me to
my marvelous life
DarkLight
I recently switched
from something darker
to something lighter
I used to
enjoy darker things
like humor and
rooms like outlook
and disposition like
coffee and cigars
even my days
I preferred darker
But now it’s
light for me
light roast and
light beer light
skies and light
toast it’s clear
to me now
that darkness has
its place and
lightness another dark
when you feel
and light when
you can see
LoversLament
There’s an old
story about the
clouds chasing the
moon after trying
for many nights
exhausted the clouds
asked the moon
why won’t you
let us catch
you the moon
glows and says
for you go
that way while
I go this
we were never
meant to meet
but just pass
Seconds
My life now
is of seconds
seconds yes of
time for it
has slowed down
but things that
I have and
things I do
things I eat
and things I
love are all
but seconds having
already been firsts
to someone else
funny thing about
seconds they are
the only thing
that once gone
can’t be gotten
but then again
yes they can
