Dreams, ah dreams
She has many of these
In a castle or by the sea
Spreading her wings and flying free
Her prince on his steed
Fulfilling her needs
Taking her away to a faraway place
The horses hooves gather haste
Kicking up water and sand
Speeding to that magical land
Champagne and chocolate and all things nice
She’ll receive as a princess tonight
But then she awakes as reality invades
To a life of drudgery that she hates
Back to conformity, dreams put aside
But they lay buried, snugly they hide
For one day she’ll be free
To live her life as should be
Her dormant talents she’ll use
Not hidden away to fade or lose

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...''
