Everytime he wakes he tries to do the right thing
all the time forsaking all he’s meant to be doing
This heart of his burns for something more
this untameable fire screams for freedom evermore
He’s pulled one way by a force he doesn’t yet understand
fate pulling him apart by its unseen hand
The need for knowledge is greater than you and I
A power so strong it controls his inner eye
The fire burns brighter than any sun
its intense heat destroying all that is one
What is it that he seeks, that we all search for
that destroys his senses to the core
This thing an indescribable power so wrong
its control over him so very strong
Trapped in its grasp like a fly in a web
he needs to break free, to take that big step
This untameable fire wants a guide
to help him search, his soul he hides
And tame the fire a little for sure
so he can see with eyes anew, to be more

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...''
