Paul Sebastian Poems

Opposite table sat hunched old man
Weather-beaten wrinkled face
Thin gray and white hair blend
Deep in thought, sadness trace
...

Living in love we taught love
Kisses, touch and hugs we gave
Respect and honour they learned
Good home values we planted
...

Born to fly, spread your wings and fly
Soar to the clouds high up in the sky
Play with the winds under your wings
Practice your glides, dives and spins
...

Go, fly because you can
Fly high because you want to
Try your belief: that you can
Go to heights, where few dare to
...

Sitting beside my love, Malanni
In my heart’s secret garden
I paint beauty present before me
Pretending a smile, looking askance
...

Hand-in-hand I walked her
Into my heart’s garden
A rendezvous with my lover
Where time is forgotten
...

Pensive, thoughts fleeting into past dwell
Slightly hunched, slouched in her chair
Calloused dark, wrinkled wasted hands tell
Sunken, crow-feet eyes, silvery thin hair
...

Looked, but saw nothing
Searched, yet found nothing
Knocked, but on silent doors
Walked long lonely roads
...

I did love you with all my heart
Cherished you right from the start
In your presence I trembled, was spell-bound
Felt restless and lost when you're not around
...

Some live, suicide-prone
Drive chatting on the phone,
Inviting death on their own.
Leaving loved ones to mourn:
...
