Paula Glynn Poems

Paint me a picture of the beauty known as life,
Where flowers of all colours bloom in the spring and summer,
And autumn paints a spooky picture,
With the ghouls and ghosts of Halloween.
...

The tropical sun shines down upon my skin,
As I taste mangos and pineapples,
The sun caressing my soul,
With its dry heat, but I am not dying in this desert.
...

Walk on those elegant legs,
My dancing spider,
Dance on that web,
My dancing spider,
...

Memories of a stolen youth that I treasure,
With happiness that I cannot measure,
For everything happens for a reason,
And it all matters in the passing seasons,
...

I love my ruby red slippers, she says,
Let the white light guide you,
Towards a peaceful, exotic garden,
And find yourself a solution,
...

I don't need that sugar,
But I do need sweetness,
But a sweetness from a pure heart.
I need guidence from a true love,
...

Plastic Barbie,
How a little girl learns to be a woman,
Lipstick and powder to paint the face,
War paint the norm,
...

Her hair is spun pure gold,
Her pink dress is woven of silk,
Her eyes sparkle with delight,
And the moon shines at the start of the night.
...

I was a fish in the water
I would swim like a mythological mermaid
Where broken hearts I would save
And of the deep blue water I was never afraid
...

I have travelled far and wide,
I have seen the world, every conflict,
Every aggression, pride and every side,
I don't know who I agree with,
...
