Paul Warren Poems

As you get older it becomes plain
Your mind still thinks you are 21 years old again
For you think you can still run a mile and kick a ball
But your legs just ache and the kicking action means a fall
...

The Do it yourself craze is all the rage on television
Where you can do amazing things in the world's vision
Now you can renovation, participate or emulate
As other people have over other programs of late
...

When all else fails in this world
And it seems like it won't get better
Just find a place for you to be
Switch off the world for a while
...

Sometimes the days are slow
You know - when you're feelin' low

The minutes seem like hours
...

Do you have a mate that you trust
When your down on your luck and a bust
So when you're lying in your hospital bed
And the world held for you nothing but dread
...

Ideas start as electricity in your brain
That help you make deductions in your frame
There are a myriad ways of looking at things
And each individual can find difference it brings
...

We walked across the River Clyde
On a footbridge from the opposite side
The water was flowing swiftly by
As the sun burst from the cloudy sky
...

There will be bell bottoms at the nursing home with me grinin'
And 'Play that funky music white boy' will be spinin'

With body shirts clinging to a hairy chest
...

There's just the beating of my heart
Now you have left me and we are apart

It stopped for a time when you spoke those words
...

I walk on so alone am I
Heartbroken now you've said goodbye
Each step is hard to take
And with my friends I will fake
...
