Colin Coplin Poems

It's football season again
I hope my team does well this year
Football season again
I'm a fan
...

It was ten minutes before the war
The quietest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes before the war
And everything was looking good
...

We're a funny breed, you and I, you're happy to walk, and I like to fly
A funny breed you and I, when we're not smiling, we cry

You like my fingers, I like your back, you like to touch, and I like to scratch
...

One night with you, is what I’m praying for
One night in heaven, to last forever more
...

My grandfather's hands tell a story
That few today could understand
Each knot a memory, each cut a step forward
That made me what I am
...

I wish ever day, start out this way
What a beautiful day
Clear skies, on the horizon, gentle breeze blowing back your hair
You and I together, without a worry, or a care
...

Don't be sad baby, don't be blue
It makes me sad baby, to see you feel as bad as you do
Don't be sad, don't be blue
...

I never knew love like this before
Or ever wanted someone more and more
Every day, more and more, every day
...

If I should slit my vein with my pen
And use my blood to write you a song
Would you think I'm crazy, would you stop me baby,
Or would you help to push it along
...

Ten things I like about you
Pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Ten things I like about you
Are ten simple things that made me fall in love with you
...
