Breakups hurt, but still we don’t give up on the idea of finding our ideal love, it’s a prison we make for ourselves.  Written July 2020.


My Beautiful Prison 


Well I know how it feels to hurt,
Though I don’t claim to be an expert,
I’m not letting this make my heart inert,
So I will remain always alert.

I’ve not made disbelief my religion,
I can hope without condition,
This has been my own decision,
So here am I in my beautiful prison.

Maybe it’s better to tend
The flowers I’ve grown,
Keep up with all of the friends I’ve known,
That way I’ll never be on my own,
But I still feel like a man alone.

I don’t want to give up hope,
I’m not despairing, I can cope,
The idea of love is not 
Hanging from a rope,
It’s just sealed away in an envelope.

My Beautiful Prison

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
