Thomas Phelps Poems

I made a dietary breakthrough the other day
Although it won't help mankind in any big way,
Or womankind either, if it comes to that,
It's about a problem I have with a bit too much fat.
...

She did not remember him really,
she had been just a child.
Perhaps he had written to pass the time?
She did not know he was driven to create.
...

The chapel was full, like never before.
They crammed inside and looked at the floor.
Of course you know the reason why,
Because in our culture, men must not cry.
...

Heading up the hill, wondering if it still holds memories
or whether these have disappeared, never to return.
He will soon learn whether the past times
have gone, even from his mind.
...

Poetry?
Not for me
I'm particularly partial to pop.
A simple song sung sincerely
...

To know another's features like no-one else has known
To know another's thoughts as though they were your own
To know another so well that you're never alone
I guess that's love
...
