As a child of Northern Ireland's so called 'troubles', I
wrestle with the pain of the past and what it has done
and continues to do to people like me. I have always
wanted to 'leave it alone' and hope that it will go away
from my mind and that my friends and family back in the
North and South of Ireland will contact me and tell me
that, 'It's over Billy.....it's all over!' But we know that
that day will never come in my lifetime anyway, unless
major turns of events happen..........The reason I address
the issue is due to personal events in my life over the
past six years while living in the United States, making
me more aware of the American people and their lack of
understanding on the subject and their view on Ireland
and everything to do with the country. I would like to
feature this subject in great detail at a later date on my
site......and would like to answer your questions on the
subject!

A few years back I began to write what I have been told by friends are
lyrics for songs...
If you can write music, email me and let me know what you can do
with these.....
Here we meet again
each lifetime
brings back a past lover
only-
why this time is it you?
Love at first sight is
too much to take
was it Atlantis
Paris, Rome
or Germany?
Together we lived
and you were seperated
from me
somewhere
sometime
This present life
you have pulled away
and are seperated from me
here and now
Why? maybe next time around?

As the seasons roll on
my love for you will remain
I am tied within'
wanting you more and more
I remain
I sign a thousand letters
a thousand deaths
as the seasons roll on
I would die a million deaths
if I knew you were thinking of me
Why don't you want me now?
I've competly changed
I'm not the same
I've died inside
since the seasons rolled on
You've entered me
my soul is full of you
I am dying daily
anyway
so not to worry
I'll not be here long
as the seasons roll on
without me
without you

You could never understand whats really
deeply happening to me
I'm so alone
and nothing at all is real
I dream about you
and wake up
thinking about you
you are my fantasy
I forever wonder why you
had to break free
Now you're not my lover
and not even my friend
don't you know I would give my all
to have you here
just to hold you
once again
You are out of reach
my heart has stopped feeling
it's very cold inside
I'm a shadow
of someone I used to be
You where the only one I
allowed inside my heart
Now I'm holding on
to something so far gone

| ..TURNING
DREAMS INTO REALITY |
Did I ever know that I'd see the day?
The day when you and I,
We'd be so far apart?
You see, I'm sorry for pushing too far
then
But am I sorry now?
I want to change what's past
(and I also want you to change)
But I know there's no way back
to yesterday
Do you ever think how much I want -
of you?
I miss you!
You see, I pushed too far,
I pushed our friendship over the edge-
and made my dreams reality
I tried to make you mine
and I'd no right to do so
I know mine are the arms
you'll never hold-
and even if by winning-
'I found you''
'I'd still loose'
I might not like you-
after all-
what do I want?
Is it really you?

GHOST BIRDS
They came from far away
to build a new place,
they tell you the story
of their death.
Beyond our land
they strangely speak
but we can't
understand
Mountains,
forests
and seas....
The Ghostly birds
fly
unto
new horizons
A NIGHTMARE
The night was dark,
the body numb- deaden...
It lacked every function
except thought
It was a nightmare,
a terrifying experience
never before imaged
although it only existed in evil fantasy
Trying to move was hard
the mind telling the body
the body trying to respond
but it ended when you woke in a cold sweat
WOULD YOU CHALLENGE TODAY?
If tomorrow was today
what would you do?
Would you do the things planned?
Or something totally different?
If yesterday was today
would you change yesterday?
the things that went wrong
would you challenge today?
or leave it as it is?
As today is now
what would you want tomrrow?
or would you want yesterday again?
why can't yoube content
with one day a new one?
TIME PAST TIME NOW
Years pass - time past
lonely people - noone cared
noone wanted - to care
years pass - time now
both die - both gone
then it's - too late
to care
THE FACE
The face holds many secrets
smile when it suits you
or when it suits others
grin at remarks made
sulk when you need to
Whenever that person appears
are you to smile or grin?
or try your best to be likeable
mainly because you mustn't give in
if you do
you'll be the talk of the town
THE LOSER HAS TO FALL
We're in an emotional tangle
just like the rose thorns
choking the heart
or the bread knife slicing the loaf,
until you're left with one half
or maybe even our goat's horns
are in a tangle?
Whilst losing someone close
I have to fall
It seems that the game
goes on and on
will it feel the same
when there will be no more
games to play?
I thought I'd be strong enough to cope
with you in my arms
still, deep inside
you must know I miss you?
There's nothing more for me to say...
I'll try to understand
when you come to shake my hand.....
