Paul Warren Poems

I sleep with ghosts
Who stand and watch
They don't interfere
Just stand and stare
...

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
...

Do you like the beat of the music in a cool way
As you dance and dance the night away
Or is it the words that turn you on
When a good lyric lasts the whole night long
...

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

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
...

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
...

The blazing sun beats me down
As the glare does its best to surround
The dirt is whipped by the dust devils
My world is a hell felt upheaval
...

The spell was cast by the old hag
Who spoke her incantation wanting bad
And she imprisoned me with the passion
That took my soul as was her fashion
...

avelling Star

Here I go following my travelling star
That I can see on the horizon from afar
...
