Our world is under
Siege a combination of
Selfishness and scarcity which
Emboldens anyone to act
Mean when did we
Trade civility and respect
For anonymity and incredulity
Where have the people
Gone we live in
A world filled with
Wizards and ogres who
Hide under the bridges
Riddling anyone who ever
Dares to cross casting
Spells designed to harm

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.
YourEyesExactly
When I look
At you what
I see is
Me in how
You look when
You’re looking away
When you look
Away I’m reminded
Of the loss
When you take
Your eyes from
Mine because I’m
So used to
Seeing me there
OneThing
If I only ever had but one thing to do it would be to love for all else is but folly meant to amuse and distract. But love, whatever brand or style constantly reminds me of who I am, never for me but always for others.
Falling
In my long life
I have finally realized
That love true love
Is both lethal and
Painful but isn’t everything
That will change you
We don’t know if
Trees cry in fall
Because all we hear
Are our own exclamations
But imagine losing the
Very thing that defines
Who you ever were
Love is like that
And losing it if
You ever do is
Exactly perfectly like that
For in order to
Fall you must fall
Head over heels and
Flat on your face
2+2=5
I wish how I
Wish that I didn’t
But I do I
Always have since I
Knew I so wish
I so wish that
I simply saw and
Didn’t wonder or think
That I like so
Many could just be
But my mind says
No no you must
Think of the unimaginable
And try to explain
That indeed two plus
Two does equal five
