Colin Coplin Poems

Countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Closing my eyes, leaving the womb and my centre
The pain is so strong, (holding me back) it’s more than just love for her
...

Woman come and set your man free
Woman come and set your man free
Take me by the hand, lead me to your promised land
Woman come and set your man free
...

Give me a breast to lie on
To caress and nibble, when the winter winds blow
Give me the hungry scent of your perfumed thighs
To send my mind heaven knows
...

(Music opens to the ABC News theme)

There's a pretty girl crying for the love she had and lost
Her pain is so deep, I hear her weep, her whole world convulses, in torment she sleeps
...

Lost and found, lost and found, lost and found, lost and found

I found love, for the first time, no more nickels, no more dimes
I held out for the sunshine, through all the years of mindless rain
...

At 22, I wrote a list of things to do
A simple list of to do's before I'm through
I have them numbered on both hands
Oh, to die a happy man
...

What would you give, to be in the eye of the storm
Centre of the universe, the king of it all
What would you give, to be the eye of the storm
To ride the big Nazare wave ‘til it's gone
...

Thinking of her, while being with you
Mixed emotions, can cut you in two
What you gonna do, when fate comes callings
What you gonna do when fate comes calling, on you
...

Don't forget to say goodbye, on your way to heaven
Even though it may make me cry, it's better than forgetting

I recall, where memories are stored
...

Up on the hill, day after day,
watching the world around him unfold, from his amphitheater on the bay
Sits a leader of the modern world, on a summer holiday
While the world around him struggles, with the problems of the day
...
