Nights now drawing in
A cold nip in the air
Autumn leaves soon falling
Summer’s end in which we stare
Almost through another year
What a year it’s been
Split down the middle, I’ll shed no tears
On what I should’ve seen
In autumn I’ll succumb to its embrace
Its darkness and different warmth
It sheds the old for a new face
Leaving memories like old haunts
I can’t wait for summer’s end
To leave behind the old
In autumn’s colours I’ll blend
And shield away from the cold
Like a leaf falling I’ll start again
Planting the seeds for new growth
I’ll fight onwards with furious defence
No matter where I now go, this my oath

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...''
