Paul Warren Poems

Favourite songs pull your strings
As the melody in your mind rings
They are something to remember
As your melancholy engenders
...

A dark lens over each eye
Hides my feelings as I try to get by
For a time the world is at bay
While I struggle to not waste away
...

The next World War will be fought
On X-box in virtual reality as battle bought
Where our Generals will line will sit with poise
As the 3D screen will make all the battle noise
...

Harold hangs at the old police station now
An old miner or an overlander they say
Not everyone will see him as he takes a bow
He's as quiet as a mouse when you stay
...

Listen you can hear
The beast is loose
With piercing red eyes
It lives in the shadows
...

Tomorrow may rain
So smile even in pain
Follow the sun
As you live your life
...

It's Australia's day
We all cheer and say
A barbecue with lamb and beer
Is the plan we adhere
...

I like to see the flag waving in the breeze
The way it flutters sure does to me please
The blue over the Southern Cross sticks out
And I know what the history of the Union Jack is about
...

Rest in Peace faithful one
Your duty is done
It's time to return your gear
The sergeant will mark you clear
...

I am embittered now
No more excuses
The end is nearer
Than the beginning
...
