Mark Hopwood Poems

Fall through the ring
What will the future bring?
Kill the black fly
as it floats on by
...

Smile and the world smiles with you.
Laugh and we all laugh with you
Cry and we all become sad
Be happy and we are all glad
...

Life's a long song
They Call it the Blues
A journey through lands
You get mud on your shoes.
...

It looks like a good day for change today
Word on the street shows a bright new way
The sun shines down and removes all the Grey,
It's a great day for change today.
...

I opened my eyes and I was awake
Stranded and paralysed
Watching the daybreak,
As the energy of a new day
...

The smoke I exhale rises high
Except for the smoke that goes in my eye
Strange how it stings,
But I can blow smoke rings.
...

To know is to love
To feel is to give
To touch is to heal
To love is to live,
...

A child cries out into the night
She too feels the fear and loneliness of darkness
She hides under her blankets too scared to look into the black
Blanketing her like a forcefield to protect her when she's under attack.
...

Kisses for you
Only kisses for you I do
Each kiss filled with a love so true
Endless kisses only for you.
...

You know there's so much we can do
And so much we can be
So much we can hear and say
And so much we can see,
...
