Picture courtesy of oliviasmindlymatters.wordpress.com So much stolen you
from me
So much taken
in your greed
Drained me in
so many ways
You the magpie
who haunts my days
My soul heavy
with your games
Black as night
you see no blame
Magpie, oh magpie
leave me be
Let me go
to fly free
But your black
wings flap away
In delight and
warning your trait
Your beady eyes
have my soul
Now my heart
your ultimate goal
Magpie, magpie
leave me be
Magpie, magpie
set me free
Magpie, magpie
fly away
Magpie, magpie
from me fade
Magpie, magpie
my own worst enemy
But always you
who steal from me…
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...''
