Paul Russell Poem
The dawn approaches,
It's light blinds me with glory
A new day begins

Paul Russell Poem
What can I say about my brother
He is the other son of my mother
We don't whistle the same tune or sing the same song
And we don't always get along
But I could not be more happy for him today
As this is his 18th birthday
He is a man I greatly admire
And to be like him I do aspire

Paul Russell Poem
I gaze upon a beauty
that I can never grasp.
You are forever changing
as the years drift pass.
Shrouded by night, suspended
in darkness so I appear to you.
Bathed in light, watched by another
and I hide from view.
A Mother, a lover a giver of life
if only we were one.
I'm just a barren landscape, you give
me meaning though your work is never done.
We belong together, we are
in a perfect balance.
I am forever staring;
I am in a trance.
You have been witness
to my change of face.
I have a darker side
that you can never trace.
I'm held from you by
an unforeseeable force.
I journey around your light
as I run my course.
All I have to offer you is
my unwavering attention.
Night and day I travel
without any comprehension.
Of what is on your surface,
you give life but to who?
I'm often left to wonder what
dwells within the green and blue?
I may be nothing to you but you
mean the world to me.
I am just a simple moon,
but oh, the things I see.

Paul Russell Poem
It gets worse every day
You ask me how I am, what do I say
I say I'm fine an obvious lie
But I'm just trying to be the nice guy
It's hard being the nice guy but what am I to do
A nice guy doesn't say "I still love you"
He pretends to be happy when his heart you break
He trys to smile even though it's a fake
A nice guy is what I'll always be
And a nice guy is what you'll always see
A nice guy can't tell you that he stills feels this way
Or that he loves you more each day

Paul Russell Poem
You lay there cold, not moving
I want you to blink. Why won't
you blink? Why won't you breathe?
I dont understand. Should I
have understood? Should I have
known then just to grieve?
Should I suddenly of realised
all matters of life an death?
What would be the point?
I stand there, just a child and
gaze at your ever staring
eyes as the priest annoints
You and says something I
do not hear. Is this all my fault?
I am filled with regret.
The confusion of a child is
not easily subdued. The
past in stone is set.
We walk from the church,
my Father's hand on my shoulder
as you are placed in the ground.
I close my eyes. My mind begins
wander. Just what in death
is there to be found?

Paul Russell Poem
Hide and seek should be a simple game
With no-one hurt and no-one to blame
But you haven't seen it played by my brother and me
It truly is an event to see
I hid in a suitcase once when we played
My brother found me but in the suitcase I stayed
Down the stairs I was thrown
When the suitcase was opened I could only groan
I had two lumps on my forehead
"I walked into a door" is what I said

Paul Russell Poem
You scar my day
and haunt my night
When my body rests
and the mind takes flight.
In every dream
I see your face
You make the rest of
the world seem common place.
The dream becomes a
nightmare when you leave
I am left in the darkness
and I can not conceive
Why you have left
and where you have gone
It seems when you were
here the light always shone.
Now left in the darkness
I can only wonder
When I shall awake
from my endless slumber.
So for now I wait
until the light shines through
Or until you return
and do those things you do
That make me laugh
and make me smile
But until then I shall
remain in darkness for the while.

Paul Russell Poem
When did love start?
Was it a beating of the heart?
Was it when two eyes met
or at the first sun set?
This at best is unclear
but love is something you should not fear
Let love into your life
It helps take away the hate and strife
Though when it is lost it's hard to bare
but love again, you have to dare!
I lost my love and it pained me so
Will I ever love again? I don't know

Paul Russell Poem
In the darkest depths of my soul you are the light
You shine through my heart with love and might
When I'm around you I don't fell the same
I feel better than I am and my heart does not feel tame
It skips a beat when I'm around you
I love you so much, do you love me too?
Those three words are said too much
But only count when two hearts touch
They are only true when two souls become one
And can only exist when hate is done
