Phil Ward Poems

Their love could not be stronger,
It stood the test of time,
Happiness reigned longer,
The more their lives entwined.
...

On a cold and frosty winters night,
There’s nothing more than I desire
To wrap a blanket good and tight,
Around me sat before the fire,
...

I sit and watch the world go by,
I drink a beer and give a sigh,
I have a smoke and close one eye,
And sit and watch the world go by.
...

My heart skips a beat when you turn on your smile,
Cos I haven’t seen you for such a long while,
Those little wrinkles on the side of your nose,
Are the cutest signs of our love that grows?
...

Perched high on a cliff overlooking the sea,
A black-headed gull was peering at me,
I’d come to meet some old friends of mine,
At a place that I love where I can be free.
...

John would look in the mirror and stare,
At the thinning of his hair,
Making wishes, needs and wants,
For a thatch upon his bonce.
...

Chillaxing on a Sunday morning,
Close my eyes and can’t stop yawning,
Sunny blue skies overhead,
Sunny blue skies in my head,
...

Suddenly our old cat's a spring chicken,
He's leaping about like a kitten,
It seems much more frequent,
The need for some treatment,
...

A most pleasant lunch I ever did,
Was spent at Pately Bridge amid,
The narrow streets and bunting flags,
Remnants of those cycling lads,
...

I'm not sure if it's fact or rumour,
Queen Victoria lost her humour,
Deciding one day she refused,
All attempts to be amused.
...
