Paul Holmes Poems

Shafts of sunlight
Fill the room
Brightening my day,
Banishing gloom.
...

In Your Shoes
I feel like a lonely leaf
High up on a tree,
Buffeted, with no relief
...

Yesterday was frosty –
A frigid December’s Day,
And on the bitter battlefield
A Soldier did silently pray;
...

I came with preconceived ideas
Imagining a lovely life
One where no hint of hate
Would cut me like a knife.
...

One thought was his focus,
No evidence must be found;
No trace, not a vestige
Must be left upon the ground.
...

A raindropp falls
From a sullen sky;
A teardropp trickles
From her tender eye;
...

One kiss is never enough,
There has to be one more,
O may they return, again and again
As waves kiss the sandy shore.
...

January was feeling sad
For February is much better
Less chance of deep snow
Although the weather is wetter.
...

Grey and overcast
Patch of blue the rarest gem
Brief glow of sunlight.
...
