your governments dictate to me
and the beaurocrats spew bullshit
no longer are we going to hear it
nor shall your political nonsense take our ways from us
we're breaking away slowly from your strife
and living again, our way of life

i'm the son of a son of a fisherman
i'm a fisherman myself
it's my livelyhood, it's my life, it's what I love the best
what i know is the sea
the fair maidens upon the lee shores
with whom i have made love to many times before
the son of a fisherman
who has past his trade down to his son
shown him the pride and honour of being a fisherman
the sea that i love
that is my home and my lifes root
never shall i give it up
until that day that the sea itself swallows me up
whenever it is that my time comes

i've done alot of hurting
for most of my life
that's something i've done
didn't always do it on purpose
didn't always hurt the right people
sometimes the people i hurt
were those that didn't deserve it
i never appologized for those moments
to those people
if though, they ever
come across these scribbles
they'll see the words
written between the slender lines on these pages
they'll see i never truly meant to hurt them
in some of those moments
written by: Scotty (2002)
i sat here for hours
gazing out of my window
looking for words to
clearly come to me
but what i need to write here
needs to truly come
directly from my heart
maybe it will take a few more hours
perhaps days and maybe it'll never come to me
but whenever it happens
i'll be sure to write them down
with pen and paper
in hand i continue
to write this for you
sometimes, somethings must be unspoken
only to be read or seen
but not spoken
this, i believe is one of those somethings
when you read this,
you may be the only one who
sees what is said here on this page
that is fine, as you're who this is written for

comes a day
in everyones lives
when you finally
look into the mirror
and have to face
what is really there
staring you straight in the face
it can be harsh reality
that strikes you
it strikes you
when you don't expect it to be
the cold, harsh, unforgiving,
and non-relenting world
that is out there
you spent years covering it up
for your own safety
you can no longer
hold down
it over-powers
when it feels the break down
makes you come to terms
with its cruel existance
with which you cannot
fight or exterminate
facing the harsh reality
that bites you in the ass
and shakes you awake
written by: Scotty (1991)
there are definate things in this world
that just aren't meant to be understood
it won't matter
your will or determination
it won't matter
your wishes, hopes, or faith
these certain things
usually are the most
unfair and painful
they'll challenge
every being of your person

your smile lightens up my room
when you step through the door
my body just wants to take you to the bedroom floor
make love to you more and more
maybe in a room by a lake
want you to make me sore
all night, we'll make love
and in the morning,
I'll show you the door
I'm not smooth, slick romantic
I'm not Don Juan
I won't step up slow to the plate
but my feelings for you
you know that they're true
and it's you I adore
let me take you
to a level of love
of which you've never seen

ex-girlfriend
why'd you do what you did
couldn't have done anything else
couldn't have loved you more then I did
why'd you go and leave
opened my heart and then slammed it shut
couldn't have hurt me any worse
not even by slitting my throat
why'd you do what you did
what was your problem
loved you so much
you went and broke my heart
ain't no solving this problem
just have to smarten up
written by:Scotty(1989(?))
sometimes in your life
people sail in and
sometimes in your life
people sail out
sometimes they sail in and stay
while some sail away and never return
you came into my life
and it seems you've come to stay
deep down that's what I hope for
though I may never say that to your face
if suddenly you sailed out of my life
it'd be like a full forced gale
and this time my ship would sink
sail into my life
tie up to the pier
drop your anchor
sail into my life
and lets watch the sunrise together

a poet without words
is still a poet
a man with a child
should be a proud man
a man loves his child
more than his own soul
but if the child is taken away
that man becomes a shadow
becomes a shadow of his self
a man whose world disappears
and all purpose becomes jumbled
I am not a poet
so my words are not smooth
but they come with a meaning
I am not a poet
but I was a father
whose child was taken away
my world I had thought was over
now my child is back
and my world too has come back again
written by: Scotty and Keith(1992)
a man who has a child
has it all
a man who loses his child
has nothing at all
a man that loves his child
has an eternal love
a man that hurts his child
isn't a man anymore

Brother's Love
a love like no other
love stronger then any other
except maybe that of a mother
it's the love of brothers
brothers are better then a lover
lovers can't compare to a brother
forever love my brother
a love different then to my lover
forever brothers will love
never really will lovers love
unbreakable bond
thicker then water
a love like a teeter totter
a love like no other
love of brothers

Day you were born
on the day you were born
a strong love was sworn
2 little angels
2 little joys
a girl and a boy
held you in my arms
will protect you from harm
your smile made my heart warm
love to watch you in the morn
you're my babies for always
see you down life's hallways
sweet dears
wipe away all your tears
keep away all fears
love for you is sworn
on the day you were born
sweet little angels of mine

Promise
I'm not a perfect man
so I can't be a perfect dad
but I'll do the best I can
I promise to be there when you're sad
there when you're mad
I'll be here when you're glad
or just when you need me.
I can promise you
that I'll always be honest with you
but the best promise,
my most sincere promise
which I can make you
is that for all my life,
I will always love you both.
With all my heart
I love you.
