The man just turned seventy
he’s seen a lot
Suffered severely
wanted it or not
His family has been through
more than most can take
All he has is cynical views
humanity he now forsakes
There’s a boy of seventeen
already seen too much
But with him knowledge he’s gleaned
he’s already grown up
Things a person shouldn’t see
in their lifetime
You lose the sense to believe
and the wonder of life
A girl in her twenties late
has been through the mill
Her life been dark not great
so much seen does she feel
All have gained experience
through life’s laid path
Stories to tell, none will bend
wise eyes but dealt bad cards

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...''
