Paul is currently working on another non-fiction book project.
Fiction Writing
Paul writes non-fiction in a very unique and engaging style. His fiction is also somewhat different both in style and content. His latest fiction project is a novel. Watch this space...

tora terra tora
She's my home
I didn't buy no rights
For my Alpine days
Or Arabian nightsShe gives her all for me
She gives it all for freeShe gives her all
But we just fight
We snatch her fruits
Then bite and biteShe gives her all for me

Sapphire Lake
Ripples in Sapphire Lake
Another stone another wake
Gazing after dawn is that your face
Is that your crown where is this place?Sapphire draws you down
Where are you
What's the hour
Is it you?
Sapphire Lake what do you want of me?
How do I know you?
Sapphire lakeLook into my crystal eyes
Green glints sparks and memorize
Fireworks rise through purple skies
And feel it now and touch it nowCourtyard clash cobbles and hooves
A lone horn sounds
Your carriage moves
Meriln calls out be not bemused
But feel it now and touch it nowRed carpets spread beneath your feet
Bowed heads boarder ever street
Test the mirror for deceit
And feel it now and touch it nowTouch the glass so clean and smooth
The magic blows the image moves
As waves head back towards her shores
And Sapphire's secret veil redrawsFeel it now

Secrets
Feel the calling
Feel the tingle down your spine
Feel the calling
Sense that now's the time
Katherine's falling
Katherine's falling
Her head spins round and round
Katherine's falling
But not towards the ground
Katherine's fallingFeel the calling
Hear those whispers in your head
Feel the calling
In the still air by your bed
Katherine's falling
Katherine's falling
I wonder if she knows
Katherine's falling
But when will she let go
Katherine's falling
Falling
….Falling

Close your eyes
Close your eyes and ride the storm
Close your eyes thunder cries as lightning dies
Close your eyes dream yourself a vision
Close your eyes
Conjure up what you're missingHold your hands out
Hands out to the skies
Hold your hands out
Expect your surprise
Feel the dust
Blowing all around
Watch the dust
Fall back to the ground
Hold your hands out
Hands out to the skies
Hold your hands out
Expect your surprise
Hold your hands out
Hands out to the skies
Hold your hands out
Expect your surprise
Feel the dust
Blowing all around
Watch the dust
Fall back to the ground
Feel the

Nelly
Deep in your heart there is a mountain
Alpine peak all white as snowDeep in your soul there is a fountain
Purest water springing forthThere's no winter
There's no cold
But lots of promise
If you are boldDeep in your eyes there is a lantern
Shining bright amid the darkDeep in your voice it is enchanting
Sweet melodies amid the barksThere's no winter
There's no cold
But lots of promise
If you are boldDeep in your smile there is a sparkle
Diamond glint between the linesDeep in your whole there is a kindness
A burning love that never diesThere's no winter
There's no cold
But lots of promise
If you are boldNelly here you are
Hold my hand
Help you up
Help you come on upCopyright Paul Hichens- All rights reserved. Songs or words may not be copied or reproduced without my prior permission

Everyday Angel
She was my star
My teenage dream
She was my beauty queen
That winter's day
She took my ring
Was my greatest dayShe was
My one true lover
My only wife
Its been two score years
Since she's been gone
But she's been with me
Every day and nightGod's my friend
But I'll never see
Just why He took
My Kathy
Just 22
And full of life
When she fell into her dreamShe was
My one true lover
My only wife
Its been two score years
Since she's been gone
But she's been with me
Every day and nightKathy's gone
Or so they say
Fate didn't fall her way
But to me
Well I still see her
Watching over meShe was
My one true lover
My only wife
Its been two score years
Since she's been gone
But she's been with me
Every day and nightCopyright Paul Hichens- All rights reserved. Songs or words may not be copied or reproduced without my prior permission

heartstring meadow
Am I dreaming?
I wish I were
No sign of you
For half a yearThey all said
That you'd run
They told me
You weren't the one
weren't the oneThey said move on
But they don't see
That in my heart
You still wear my ringI don't care
What you've done
Without your love
I'm so alone
so aloneAnd so I walk
In my daily daze
Down to the meadow
Where we first layAnd if I close my eyes
I can smell you hair
And when I look
You're still thereI knew you'd come
All along
Back to my arms
Where you belongI knew you'd come
All along
Back to my heart
Where you belongCopyright Paul Hichens- All rights reserved. Songs or words may not be copied or reproduced without my prior permission

vc43
His plane is cruising but its not the jet set
Each flax flanked sortie is like Russian roulette
For himHurtling down through the clouds from a mile up above
No adrenaline junkie its just one more job
For himI was there in Arnhem
In 1943
I saw him killed in action
For me…And you
A dip in the ocean
No bucket and spade
Just mines and barbed wire
And shells German made
For himRush through the hail
Red mist falls again
No paintball adventure
This isn't a game
For himI was there in Arnhem
In 1943
I saw him killed in action
For me…And you
…Think about itCopyright Paul Hichens- All rights reserved. Songs or words may not be copied or reproduced without my prior permission
