This Brain-dead Mind

Writer's block

I sit here staring at the screen
Trying to think of something

For no words will follow kind
In this brain-dead mind

Words had better come soon
Otherwise I’ll be singing a different tune

So to switch off and forget
Then my mind will be refreshed

So much out there to write about
But nothing’s coming, giving a shout

So to rest these little grey cells
Hopefully something will scream and yell

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...''
