PAUL COLVIN Poems

Your daddy’s gone now, far away
He’s up where gentle angels play,
He’s in Heaven so please don’t cry
And I’ll sing to you a lullaby.
...

Obesity’s the curse of life, from young to very old
But some, they wallow in their weight, whilst others are so bold.
To say that being super-sized, it fills them with a pride
But they must know, their junk food snacks, are killing them inside.
...

Come fly to me whene'er you will and rest upon my hand
Then sit with me to catch your breath and let your face be fanned
By the gentle breeze warmed by the sun, no don't be feart of me
My little bird o' black and red, I mean no harm to thee.
...

The scent of man has long since gone but ghosts from Highlands past
Stand guard upon its gateway, their eerie shadows cast
I feel them walk beside me, see eyes in every tree
They guard it like their Holy Grail, they set this Scotland free.
...

Her skin is soft but not as silk
And nor as velvet or that ilk,
They’re far too coarse to gauge her skin
And I know what I feel within.
...

Upon this golden beach we’ll dance
Though skies above are grey
...

Confused beneath that shallow mind
Condemned by what he hides behind
A hidden secret, a shady lie
And ignorance comes as no surprise.
...

You think I’m crazy cos I play the fool
You say I’m mad but really think I’m cool
I wonder why you got mixed up with me
No-one can take your place.
...

From the flower of the desert sand
To the petals falling from your hand
To the seeds of love that e'er were sewn
Each one a kiss to you.
...

Blossoms gone just leaves remain
Rich and crisp, strong and tense
Defying all that comes their way
With crackled skin and golden veins
...
