Paul Warren Poems

Mesmerise me
Sanctify me
Haunt me
Liberate me
...

The sun is sinking in the west
On a long hot summer day
There's just the radio, my patrol car and me
As I look to the traffic on the highway
...

Looking down into a deep ravine
The shadows cast dark shapes
That hid the jagged rocks and empty spaces
There were noises of movement from within
...

I was talking with an Aunt
Who was in the Australian Army Nursing Service
She remembered being in a movie theatre
In Brisbane during World War 2
...

Can you bear to remember
The pain is like an undying ember
Where the memory is such a drain
That causes you a painful refrain
...

You need to be
Happy and free
To live together
And not worry or blether
...

Bear your soul
Leave it open
In a stark and naked world
Where to do so
...

I get a little sentimental in my ways
When remembering the good old days
And the mates who were always there
Together still, in my dreams - paid my fare
...

Your possessions are something to treasure
As you keep them for your own pleasure
Or would you share them with the world
Upholding their worth to others truly held
...

Blinded by eternal love
Falling endlessly from above
Sunk down deep in my soul
Listening to hard rock and roll
...
