He watches as a woman goes over to man
It seems each other they do know
She grabs him in a hug asking where he’s been?
He smiles awkwardly, not going with the flow
His body language is one of defence
He seems to want to be away from her
Nervous, he puts up a menu between them like a fence
He like a nervous rabbit in front of a ravenous tiger
So he breaks away fast and sure
Moving further back
The gap widens a little more
He heads to bar, attraction from him he lacks
Why did he do this the observer does wonder why?
Is he with another or is she not his type at all?
Or is just one of those who is very shy?
Not comfortable on the pull?
She was attractive, all over him
He just wasn’t interested and ran away
But in a group they were the observer did glean
He did smile at the games people play
It’s amazing what people say without words
Body language is fascinating to watch
It’s what’s seen and never heard
These extraordinary skills that few have got

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...''
