Oh how he wishes the
Earth to open
To swallow him whole
For his heart torn
His mind numb
Lost in a wilderness
Of his own making
This pain
Yet he knows it’s
Not all his own fault
As he wanders alone
By the river
His life like the
Leaf
Carried away
Downstream
Engulfed by words
Blinded by science
Swallowed whole by
Outside sources
His heart sinks evermore
Lost on life’s
Downward stream
The water him that swallow

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...''
