Temper in check she walks away
Leaving it for another day
To calm down which she needs
Maybe she’ll buy herself a treat
Pushed too far by her partner
And that was just a starter
More to come as the day wears on
She goes to a friends, not home
The day ends as home she gets
Trepidation does in her set
Will he be asleep or awake
Asleep she hopes this late
In bed she gets and drifts off
In the land of nod
But the morning comes to her
And what the day may occur
It’s the calm before the storm
As her heart has been torn
She’ll fight this day she knows
For her anger it does grow
Lied has he about his last day
About where he’s been, nowt to say
She knows more to tell has he for her
But quiet he keeps, the storm will stir
And then he never comes home one night
A note he’s left saying he’s seen the light
He’s taken his things and nothing more
Her anger erupts, but knows not what for

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...''
