Paul Holmes Poems

One step forwards, two steps back
Is a familiar manner we tread;
We seem unsure of which way to go,
A Labyrinth of routes in each head.
...

Walking on white
Powder soft sand
My footprints
Left impressions,
...

</>What is this life we live these days
When we have no time to stand and gaze
At a stunning sunset on a summer’s eve
Or, the delicate web a spider did weave.
...

You hold the World in your hand,
With the touch of a button you view
Elephants and lions and zebras
Or, koala bear and kangaroo.
...

A piece of my heart died today
As I saw a yellow leaf fall from a tree
Reminding me of that day so grey
When Death took my friend from me.
...

Ruby and emerald and sapphire
Are the gems of his attire,
Clothed in an iridescent glow,
Like fragments of a rainbow.
...

Sandpaper kisses
Rasp on cheeks and chins,
This good morning wash
Is how it all begins!
...

Soft, pure white feathers
Cover their grey downy heads
Giving protection.
...

He wears a coat of flames

And has a dignified air;
...
