Paul Warren Poems

I've been ragged on
I've been pushed around
And I plead to the sky above
When is my time to be loved
...

When we first met we danced all night
I held you and swayed you away so light
The music was romantic for you and me
That night together we set our love free
...

What do you say
When you wake everyday
Are you thankful for what's given When you're long since left being driven
...

Do you feel the light of day
As the warmth of the sun is at play
Does it steel you for the bad news
That makes your heart cry the blues
...

Here's to the boys I once knew
When we stood together and saw it through
Where I laughed and joked with each one
As we gathered together when it was done
...

Stop pursuing me
Leave me alone
I want t be free
All the years are gone
...

Life is a maze
That keeps me in circles
Around you go
Looking for the end
...

One day in central Africa a long time yonder
A woman and her family started to wander
Away from their home lands
Wanting a better life was in her plans
...

The world kept pushing him on and on
He didn't turn any corners just straight along
It wasn't that he was searching for anything
Not even his own song to sing
...

The uniform was put on each work day
It started as blue serge cleaned and pressed creases to stay
And I progressed through the years dedicated
Changing blue and less parade ground antiquated
...
