Paul Warren Poems

The grey cloud has darkened the sky
As it brings the rain upon the land
Rusty broken metal strewn across the ground
Like so many lingering dreams and promises
...

I prayed again today
That the pain would go away
And leave me satisfied
Making good for what had been denied
...

Max the cat likes a pat
And a scratch under his chin's a fact
He doesn't like the cold
And will sit near the heater so bold
...

Do you hear do you hear
The words that keep you near
Whispering or shouting loud
The words that are empowered
...

Play me a happy tune
So loud and so clear
I'll make music my rune
And be delighted to hear
...

Do you count your days
Or are you busy in your ways
Is your step light as a feather blowing
Or do you count each one just to be known
...

Sleep your uninterrupted night
The tasks of life are now out of sight
Close your eyes once more
The struggles are over rest death implores
...

A leaf floated to the ground
In its silence without a sound

As I stood and watched it fall
...

Sail smooth on a bright sunny day
Let the breeze take you away
As the bow cuts through the sea
On crystal clear blue bay that's where we'll be
...

A rose blooms bright
As the day radiates sunlight
From the jagged thorned stem
Natural beauty perfumed in colour it extends
...
