shadow man – Picture courtesy of channelweb.co.uk I want a life
Not this drab, grey existence
A shadow fading in
and out,
Trying to find solid
form
Clawing at ideas of
what I want to do
Finding who I am
meant to be
Instead I battle
against conformity
Not wishing to be
a sheep
For I do not fit
with the flock
I am the black
sheep
who dreams of
being a Wolf
I wish to escape this
town of little imagination
To find wonders and
happiness elsewhere
By the sea in Irish
harbours or English
bohemia
Maybe amongst the
dreaming spires
or the Athens of the North
But I live this
shadow life
Like a puppet playing
for the crowd
Praying my strings
will be cut one day
Hoping to be
a real boy
Until then I but
dream, waiting for reality
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...''
