David Lewis Paget Poems

The day had been rather stormy when
I walked in the garden gate,
With lighting flashing around me,
It was dark, and getting late.
...

She went with a friend for the evening,
But she wouldn't tell me where to,
Just turned as the two began leaving,
Said, ‘Where I go's nothing to you.'
...

We came into this life alone
A long, long time ago,
With each of us to each unknown
It gave us time to grow,
...

We were on a tour of the Breton Caves
That had stalactites galore,
A one-time trip to that limestone drip
Forming stalagmites on the floor.
...

She used to walk in the woods at night,
She said she needed the air,
But didn't want me to go with her,
She said that it's cold out there.
...

She lived in a strange old gabled house
But she rarely came outside,
I'd glimpse her up on the balcony
But she'd see me, and she'd hide.
...

He was often at the market
Signing books that no-one read,
If they had, and known the target
Then they'd not be lying dead.
...

I've devoted my life to poetry
Whenever I've had the time,
Created whole towns and villages
And even the people rhyme.
...

This government's greed's cut into my need
By taxing tobacco smoke,
I needed my weed to concentrate,
They've turned it into a joke.
...

She shouldn't have been on the platform
On that fateful day in June,
The train she needed to catch would leave
Later that afternoon,
...
