Colin Coplin Poems

Send my ashes in the wind, so that I may travel to all the places where I have lived
And also to places I have not yet been
Let me settle on lands distant and far, on the faces on all, who have touched the hearts,
Of every man and woman, child and art
...

The planets are aligned, you can feel them marking time
And if you listen very hard, you can hear the sound of the stars
In a moment locked in time, their music is sublime
And we're living here, on Earth, tonight
...

I'm gonna climb me a mountain
To sit and watch the end of the world
I'm gonna climb me a mountain
To sit and watch the end of the world
...

Momma was always so clever and wise
Momma use to tell me, much good advice
If only I took time to listen, once or twice
Instead of being such a sassy arse voice
...

Walked a beaten path, babe, it led me to your door
I just turned away, you through me out before

Day by day, I'm getting over you
...

You say you know of me, if true, the pleasure I am sure would be all mine
You say you've been with me, if so, I would remember it for some time

But we've never met, mistaken you must be
...

Is life chance, or pre-ordained, is life chance or pre-ordained?

Mary O'Henry, was born in a time when the world was at war, nobody saw
She grew up an orphan, struggling through life, never knowing there's more
...

I'm a failure as a father, my kids just don't understand me at all
I don't like their music, and can't solve their Maths problems when they call
Their English is confusing, some think that's amusing
And I'm no good with the X-Box control
...

As days roll into years, one thing has remained unchanged
The love I found when I first saw you, has never disappeared
It grows stronger every year
...

Beautiful girl, I must confess
You are the secret to my happiness
Beautiful girl, our love came early, and fast
I treasure each moment, no ending, no past
...
