Tom Allport Poems

Babe hold my hand
And understand
How close can we be
Before we see
...

An Old Person left alone
No means of support in an empty rented home
The future not thought of
The past ever near
...

Once poetry was only
For the educated
And the few
But how times
...

As the chemical wrath rained down
There was nothing we could do
But the white washed cottage
Was hidden and out of view
...

A little fairy in a tree
Come be happy - sit near me
The World is ours 'til sunset
King and Queen of the Pelicans we
...

I see a lighthouse in the distance
It's surrounded by sea
The seagulls are singing
They're happy to be free
...

I often worry
Of where my next meal comes from
Of where do I sleep next?
Of what the future holds?
...

There is no light
Without the dark
There is no freedom
Without free speech
...

My lovely rose
You make me smile
You make me cry
You make the stars
...

All precious moments
Unlike the stars in the sky
Are frozen in time.
