Sitting on her own waiting for him
Will he ever turn up?
She’s something to say, words unsaid again
At the important times they get stuck
This thing important she needs to say
Will it happen she wonders now
It’s clawing at her soul everyday
Put into words, does she how?
Time stands still for no-one
Before long it’ll be too late
She looks out at the sinking sun
What will be her fate?
The hands of the clock go by unseen
Passing before her unseeing eyes
She sits with her glass half empty
Oh how time flies
One hour, two goes by
As she sits alone
She wonders if she has the right night?
Should she use her phone?
Tick, tock, goes the clock
Another hour gone
She dials his number, phone unlocked
No answer again, is something wrong?
For weeks now she has needed to unload
This deep thing to say
But never a right moment, never alone
She just wants a moment, not a day
The sun has sunk like her heart
As she decides to walk home
She rubs her stomach, tears of hurt
As she thinks of one yet to come

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...''
