He hides all deep inside
He buries all deep inside
He twists and turns deep inside
A snake coils around his heart deep inside
He can’t run from what’s deep inside
He can’t hide from what’s deep inside
No escape from what’s deep inside
It festers deep inside
He’s changed deep inside
Fighting daemons deep inside
Anger and hate deep inside
Pinpricks of fear deep inside
There’s no fight deep inside
No angel to help deep inside
No rescue for him deep inside
Helpless deep inside
But he seems fine wholly outside
Everyone loves him outside
They embrace his being outside
Little knowing or caring what’s deep inside
What embraces his soul deep, deep inside…

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

Wonderfully done – love the “deep inside” repetition.
Thanks again Randall. I thought I’d tackle the darkness in people that others don’t see or want to see.
