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
...

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
...

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

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
...
