Paula Robinson Poems

I stare into the garden pond, wondering
On the theory of evolution
And how it applies to frogs
Why their life changes, so quickly
...

Your blade twisted in my heart
Scarlett spatters, work of art

No news reports on microfiche
...

A shoulder to lend, an ear for your cries
A loving smile to sympathise
I hear your problems, you have many
Compared to you, I’ve hardly any
...

Natures work of art in feline form
Your grace and beauty transfix
You will not be mastered or kept
Free to roam whenever you choose
...

A screaming head, without an ill
No wonder cure or miracle pill
For the disease is all in the mind
Shadows beckon you to find,
...

Children ask so many questions
Sometimes we struggle to find
Proper answers in able to
Satisfy their mind
...

Why don’t you do it?
Why cause me pain?
Can’t you make up your mind?
Won’t you love again?
...

I thought I heard the bogey man; it scared me half to death
I was frozen to the spot and I had to hold my breath
I wondered if he could see me, if he could smell my fear
I thought I felt him breathing, a whisper in my ear
...

Maybe we need pain to convince us life is real
To appreciate the moments that come easily
To grasp our happiness with both hands
And run
...

To be wrapped around you while the shadows darken night
To have your face greet me with the dawning of the light
To feel your tender fingers wind their way across my skin
To make me realise each and every day is worth living
...
