Paul Warren Poems

I'm just sitting here in the cold
Feeling oh so I old
Sipping at my beer
Thinking of someone dear
...

Here's to the books that wouldn't burn
And ideas that refused to be adjourned
To the laughter that is infectious
And a kiss that is forever precious
...

Do you want to see those days back again
See those missing friends
Is there someone you'd want to hug a little longer
Love a little stronger
...

I couldn't sleep last night
These times had me feeling not right
There were images swirling round
And try as I might I couldn't shake being down
...

Who will welcome you
Now your day is through
To greet you as you walk in
And see them all again
...

Saturday afternoon at the shops
Families together laughing and loving a lot
Then evil came with deadly intent
Joel Cauci stalked them with his knife bent
...

I am a time traveller who sees fifty years
All the good times and all the tears
I am a baby at my mother's breast
And a toddler with my first steps expressed
...

Let's lie on a blanket on the ground
Whilst the sun sinks slowly down
I whisper softly of my love for you
And make my promise to be true
...

What would witches need for today
When casting a spell in a brew right away
What modern concoctions would they bring?
Instead of eye of newt perhaps eye of TV screen
...

In a country town the word gets around
What is the latest word to be found?
He was a shabby one starting to push past forty
From the bush he wasn’t that smart or hoity-toity
...
