Another year has gone by
Another year older
Is he any wiser
Has the heart grown colder?
All he knows is it’s fallen apart
This day so special to him you see
Left disappointed by many and all
With others they’d rather be
He sits alone on this big day
Neglected and torn inside
He just wanted his friends with him
But once again they do hide
So all alone again he is
Shouldn’t be surprised at all
This his destiny he knows deep down
It has been his life’s call
So as the day passes by
No candles or pats on the back
He sits all alone, no-one to love
This his life so sad
He goes to bed with a heavy heart
Sadness weighing him down
His usual smile and cheery face
Replaced by the tears of a clown

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...''
