Paul Warren Poems

The heat shimmered on the horizon
As the dust devils danced across the desert zone
Our car was placed in four wheel drive
As we travelled on in an effort to stay alive
...

Wind unseen blows hard
Push all before in power
Irresistible to all.
...

If I listen to this song
I won't cry the night long
For the mood I'm in
Has such regard for old sin
...

John Lennon died on this day
Chapman shot and blew him away
So sad a man of peace is killed so violently
You see killing can be done so easily
...

Questions about the life
Permeate my thoughts
When good is not rife
And it doesn't go as it ought
...

I was listening to some old music tonight
And with each song I knew it was just right
For each song was a memory held so dear
As they came flooding back to me so clear
...

Lonely trees on lonely roadsides
In dusty paddocks scarce water to abide
A hot dry northerly blows from the red centre
Gives no relief from the summer's measure
...

Darkness shrouds the day
Light retreats away
A clear winter night
The sun barely put up a fight
...

Pastel dreams of yesteryear
Smile and don't shed a tear
Strength for you foretold
Days together will not get old
...

What are the things that eat at you
In the quiet times when you think it through
Do you mull over a time
When you should have been better in your rhyme
...
