    The Writers House

    Will you take me back, to the Western Isles
    Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles

    When you travel there, you fade away
    Disappear into silence, of unfamiliar ways
    Blend into shadow, in Stornoway’s haze
    Frozen in history, by a Callanish gaze

    Wild Uig Bay, in the glinting moonlight
    A dram of Abhainn Dearg, to keep you warm at night
    Giants at Dun Borranish, with stories to write
    Longing to return, when fortune is right

    Will you take me back, to the Western Isles
    Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles
    The Writers House, where dreams are explained
    Your vision exists, and your music is made
    Take me, Take me

    Leave chaos behind, and the speed of decay
    Those feelings of anxiety, and having to obey
    To a simpler pace, with echoes of yesterday
    A land in tune, with what think and say

    Will you take me back, to the Western Isles

    Lewis where perspective, calms and beguiles
    The Writers House, where dreams are explained
    Your vision exists, and your music is made
    Take me, Take me

    I am lots of different people, depending on your view
    Where you are in history, what you trust is true
    I am all of your fear, everything you adore
    I may try and stop you, or keep you wanting more

    You can’t suppress me, I cannot be appeased
    If you try to ignore me, I will bring you to your knees
    I cannot be defeated, as I’m never there
    I cannot be deceived, when I’m everywhere

    I’m the lover; a sinner, a dreamer; a killer
    The Teacher; a tyrant, a preacher, a whore

    Uncontrolled passion, requires moderation
    Avarice is boundless, lacking motivation
    Patience is lost, a jealous desire
    Humilities overrated, deluded liar

    I am, The voice you show
    I am, The guilt you know
    I am

    The devil on your shoulder, the angel you can’t fake
    Tell you you’re wrong, in dreams when you wake
    I expose the narrative, the choices you could make
    I remind you of morality, which path you should take

    Controlling; I monitor, evaluate and begin
    I’m that thought; that memory, that feelings, that sin

    Uncontrolled passion, requires moderation
    Avarice is boundless, lacking motivation
    Patience is lost, a jealous desire
    Humilities overrated, deluded liar

    I am, The voice you show
    I am, The guilt you know

    I am, The voice you show
    I am, The guilt you know
    I am, The lost credo
    I am, Your superego

    I am, The voice you show
    I am, The guilt you know
    I am

    Witness

    I’m uptight, watched the news tonight
    It’s on my mind, can’t unsee their plight

    A young child of war, desperate and alone
    Stood weeping on their bones, no shelter nor no home
    Orphaned in the sadness, a victim of dragons madness
    With it’s lust for killing, of which we all bear witness

    A daughter a mother, a bride a lover
    Knelt crying in the rubble, family taken from her
    Indiscriminate and malicious, an attack so vicious
    The innocent killing, of which we all bear witness

    Too old to survive, under tarps they cried
    Laid starving together, in the camps they died
    Famine and sickness, there is no forgiveness
    No relief just killing, of which we all bear witness

    He’s never born arms, never caused any harm
    Yet he’s tortured and slaughtered, on his mourning farm
    He was seen as extremist, in the genocide business
    Another sectarian killing, of which we all bear witness

    Watched the news tonight, can’t unsee their fight
    We never object, just change channel and forget
    What will history deduce? What will be our excuse?
    What did we do? When we all knew.

    We all knew, Witness

    Slip Away

    I’ve had enough of pain, struggles and the screams
    I can’t cope anymore, living with our dreams
    I’ve tried so hard to be there, tried hard just for you
    Lived through the torment, lived everything we knew

    I’ve fought to be strong, but the hurts extreme
    All hope now has gone, just existing in routine
    Maybe things will change, maybe a reprieve
    Don’t give up on us, there’s still time to believe

    I know you’ve always been there
    Say your prayers, as I slip away
    Now I can chose, my own way
    Then raise a glass, to remember me
    Don’t forget, I’m where I wanna be

    I can’t tell what’s real anymore, I know I’m getting worse
    The meds blur reality, as my dignity deserts
    Not everything has changed, I’m still in love with you
    This time was not wasted, it’s all we could do

    I know you scared, I know your heart will grieve
    But we know it’s for the best, it’s time for me to leave
    And you’re scared to, I can’t start to understand
    But please let me be with you, let me hold your hand

    I know you’ve always been there
    Say your prayers, leave a bouquet
    Raise a glass, as I slip away
    Then light a candle, to remember me
    And scatter my ashes, where I want to be

    Scatter my ashes, where I want to be

    Whisky Bites

    Turn your collar up
    Protect from the bitter night
    Walk the frozen path
    Reject all the brighter lights

    Spurn a slow look
    Accept as the whisky bites
    Lite another smoke
    Reflect on a winters plight

    And it all comes back, to you
    And it all comes down, to you

    Burn another page
    Collect a new rhyme recite
    Pen fading pledge
    Correct it all writing rights

    Learn fevered lyric
    Regret and pain poems sight
    Pour another dram
    Forget it all loathing spite

    And it all comes back, to you
    And it all comes down, to you

    Compose the words the feelings the curse
    Obsession, poison, love and passion
    And it all comes back, to you
    And it all comes down, to you

    And the Whisky Bites

    Anyone Anyway

    Know the language of the poets

    But your still lost for words

    Possess counsel of the ministers

    With no faith to serve

    Follow knowledge of a wise man

    But no soul to believe

    Have the heart of a kind man

    With no love left to greave

    Tears don’t flow, prayers denied

    Is it’s all just a state of mind

    Everything is different now, yet all the same

    Everything continues, but nothing remains

    A faltered future, for love unclaimed

    Honored I knew her, a love sustained

    Do we ever know anyone, anyway

    Do we truly know anyone, anyway

    Blessed with visions of a dreamer

    But memories fade away

    Foretell prophecy like a psychic

    Yet no gift to convey

    Ask the scholars of ages

    About love, betrayal and regret

    Why strive to live forever

    And why can’t we forget

    Tears don’t flow, dreams unwind

    Is it’s all just a state of mind

    Everything is different now, but all the same

    Everything continues, but nothing remains

    A faltered future, for love unclaimed

    Honored I knew her, a love sustained

    Do we ever know anyone, anyway

    Do we truly know anyone, anyway

    It’s all just a state of mind

    Spanish Eyes

    Lost and drowned, in lights and sounds
    She took pity, a stranger in her town
    She lead me out, somewhere to breath
    Sat me down, to comfort me

    In a world insane, trapped and drained
    She made me calm, worries waned
    And midst the heat, of the day
    She found my soul, showed her way

    Falling into

    Castile beauty
    Rescued baptized
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes

    Museums maze, relics mislaid
    A misplaced guide, direction betrayed
    Her touch so soft, a glance to convey
    Where confusion reigned, peace now lay

    Long auburn hair, sun kissed skin
    Lost in her, the warmth within
    A fleeting moment, a dream revived
    Realmente hermosa, Spanish eyes

    Falling into

    Castile beauty
    Rescued baptized
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes
    Possessing me
    Those Spanish eyes

    Falling Into
