we are the ear
that catches echoes
from our distant fathers
and benevolent mothers
we are the eye
that fills with tears
at the loss we felt
and the dreams we see
we are the smile
for the love we have
that we take in our hearts
to our journey’s end
we are the ear
that catches echoes
from our distant fathers
and benevolent mothers
we are the eye
that fills with tears
at the loss we felt
and the dreams we see
we are the smile
for the love we have
that we take in our hearts
to our journey’s end
Hello WordPress world. I have a second volume of poetry available through Blurb books. It is lovely to have a new baby to release 🙂 I hope it might resonate with a few out there.

tin man sits with rusted dreams
and cradles this hard fought fruit
a comfort wrapped diviner
for all his past mistakes
he tries to stop from looking back
as his body starts to grieve
pulling petals from his chest
to lay at her naked feet
for the journey
for the softer road
Hello WordPress world. I’m dipping my toe into a different writing form. I’m trying some flash fiction. Short, short stories. Would welcome any comments and feedback. In the ‘shorts’ section. Thanks!
paulhp.net has had a facelift, a refresh, a waft of new air. Have a peek
above the russet tops of trees
beyond the watery veil and curlicues
of cloud, is room enough for our bone
trapped minds to open, swirl and dream
and we all get there in the fullness of time
as sure as knowing that love will win in the end
but while we breathe we should take a look
the wrong way down the telescope
and see that we’re sucking the breast dry
before we’ve had the chance to grow
Hello WordPress world. I just wanted to let people know that there is a new, small volume of poetry available. My first publication, and I’m quite excited to be out there 🙂
