POEMS BY PAUL

These were mainly written in Prison and collected in a decorated folder with the title:

LOVE POEMS.

Preface

There follow the first and last two poems in the folder of 48

Telephone Love I dial your number, and wait to hear
the voice that fills my heart with cheer
So soft and sweet to the one I love so
yet it breaks my heart when it's time to go

To hear you say that magical phrase
in retort to my endless adoring praise,
is music to my ears, and mine alone,
I long for the time when I next use the phone.

My love is conveyed there by miles of wire,
for as long as it take I'll never tire,
of being able to tell you these words O so true,
when I say on the phone: Darling I love you.

You'll Be Mine You are never more than a thought away
you are for always on my mind.
Lovingly remembered in every way,
Sweetheart we're two of a kind.

Time will pass and the years fade away,
but my memories will never recede.
For the day will come, when I am yours
and you'll be mine indeed.

The winds of love blow gently around me,
whispers abound in my ear.
They remind me of how much I miss you
and how I wish you could be here.

Sadly time, drifted by without you
and days have turned into years
my mind holds a million memories,
my eyes have shed as many tears.

Countdown I lay in my bed and stare at the ceiling.
Emotions so intense they set my mind reeling.
I talk to myself, for who else can I tell
that being parted from you is absolute hell.

As well as my love, you're a friend true indeed,
one I can turn to in my time of need.
Someone who cares and who'll love in return.
All that I've missed so much do I yearn.

Yet life must go on and I will survive.
We're still together both still alive.
All that remains now, which as yet I've to do,
is count down the days, till I'm back home

with you.

My Love!
My darling you've filled my heart with cheer,
throughout the long time that I've been in here.
The only way I can ever repay you,
is to give my love, sincere and true.

Sweet angel of love you are to behold.
Many have listened to the stories I've told.
I need to divulge, tell the whole world you see,
about the true love, between you and me.

Sweet love, my true love so dear,
I can but love you more with each year.
For you are my life, my soul and my heart,
thank God the times over that we've been apart.
