Paul WilsonSuffield Poems

Alice and Hannah enter the school
Wanting to abide by all the rules.
Straight in their class and sat on a chair
Wondering why there’s nobody there.
...

As you grow and wonder why it all seems
That the way ahead is the way of your dreams.
To make this happen and your wishes come true
There’s only one person and that person is you.
...

In the middle of the night there is a dig in my side
The sound of laughter, impossible to hide.
You want to play muck about or talk
If you’re not tired go for a walk.
...

Time does press down from above
Evolution forcing time into a symbol of love.
Dinosaurs, Ice, Apes, Neolithic man
Crushed together, then worn on one hand.
...

When you love someone, don’t just throw them aside
Then your feelings for them try to hide.
You can say you want freedom and others to meet
Leaving the one that cares a mess at your feet.
...

I took the shilling, I learned to serve
I drilled and drilled, built up my nerve.
Side by side we stood as one
Confident in the thought any job could be done.
...

The decorations are up its that time of year
When all good people are filled with cheer.
The presents are wrapped the tree is dressed
Young or old, all are blessed.
...

HEY, is anyone there? Does anyone care?
I have something to say. Something to share.
I’ve been changing now for like, about five years
What do I do? I have so many ideas.
...

I cannot stand eye to eye and explain the way I feel
My heart would pump my legs would shake my nerves they would kill.
The words would tumble from my mouth in an order of their own
My throat will vibrate my voice would change and spew out a new tone.
...

You always look back through misted rims
Where movement isn’t hampered by twisted limbs.
Twenty twenty hindsight is they say
All troubles of time just fade away.
...
