Trying to do all he can
Sacrifices his ultimate plan
Time and again he’s done this
Will he ever find his perfect bliss?
There he is a prisoner now
Hasn’t as yet himself found
Still stuck where he doesn’t belong
Others by him did do wrong
His own mistakes he did make
A promise to himself he did break
Another he did to one lost
He wonders at this terrible cost
For he sees things now with a muddled head
His goals from him have now sped
On the back-burner they are for a while
As he dreams of a place across the miles
Determined he is to find a way
So he can have those happy days
Long for searched these past few years
He holds back those frustrated tears
Life it seems just gets in the way
As always through his days
Life gets in the way
To him it does betray

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...''

Why thank you and I shall look in to yours too! Bless you.
Thanks 🙂 I am a beginner so any comments would be much appreciated 🙂 xx
The best piece of advice I can give you is to just write what’s in your heart. Don’t be too worried about the technical side or any fancy stuff. Just write what you want to. Even throw the rule book out of the window if you want. Just write and do it because you want to do it. I’ll look in now on yours.
