The rain lashes against the window pane
Heavy and hard, it drives him insane
He’s meant to be in sunny climes
Let down again, countless times
This keeps happening to him
Broken promises have been binned
He deals with it always
So much lost time, so many days
He throws a glass at the wall
He feels such a fool
Why do people do this to him
What crime has he committed, what sin?
Money lost and saved as he paces about
All he wants to do is scream and shout
Instead he picks up another glass
Pours a whiskey that never lasts
He’ll never been taken for a ride again
Never treated like a has been
He’s ready now to make changes anew
To show what he’s made of so very soon
He remembers when he was last let down
Never again will he drown
No more mistakes in trust will he make
As he’s ready to make that break

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...''
