There’s a thin line you never cross with friends
Even in your support of them till the end
The boundaries are set from the start
Even unsaid you’ll know them in your heart
Certain things you just don’t do
So much you would have to lose
Be careful what you do and say
This is not a game to play
The same goes with family but differently
For the have a set of rules from these that be
You just have to be careful where you tread
A minefield of chaos may indeed spread
When it comes to money, the route of human worry
A fine line between borrowing and taking, is itself a story
To borrow is to give back as and when need be
Not to avoid that person and to bleed her and he
Taking those is a different kettle of fish
For a person may treat you to more than one dish
But more than once can be unfair
Into double figures, this person you don’t care
So whilst this can go into hundreds or thousands
Never bite the feeder with their kindly hands
For the gift horse can have a nasty bite
Make sure you do by them what’s right

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...''
