Everything changed when she up and left
Leaving him down and bereft
She walked out on him for another
One of his friends, his spiritual brother
Anger, frustration, confusion reign
His soul dark, his heart full of pain
Why did it have to come at this moment
This not a gift from heaven-sent
He sits in his flat, drinking away
Phoned in sick at work, now no pay
His life turned upside down by betrayal
Everything insignificant, he feels he’s failed
For six years he was with her, happy years
Rarely an argument, rarely any tears
This is why it’s hard for him to understand
Why they did this to him, this nasty backhand
Friends have tried to help him out of it
To inspire and show him a world he does fit
But he doesn’t listen to all they say
He sits with curtains drawn, his darkest day
One day soon he’ll see the light
A future for him, a path that is bright
But blinded is he by betrayal and mistrust
Not seeing a way out, to do what he must

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...''

Caliburnus Rises 
time they say is a healer.one is allowed time to mourn for a love lost….it always is difficult moving on but indeed one day,his sun will rise again and he will smile again and he will live again.
That’s the idea. Too much sadness around in a dark world.
