Paul Warren Poems

The dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War Two
Bringing the Japanese to a point that they nothing else they could do
But to end the bloodshed and bring about the end of the War
The Japanese Emperor ended telling them that they could do no more
...

The melancholy fragrances from my youth
In the test of time that have in my memory stood
My mother cooking her homemade pasties as they bake
My father gluing wood for his latest project he would make
...

Friends take a canoe trip
Hillbillies attack them and one dies
New reservoir covers everything.
...

We stand in grief with our own thoughts around the bed
And see the loved one a situation we have all to dread
We were awakened by a ringing we did not want to own
So early in the morning shaking myself to answer the phone
...

The suckiest year 2016 I call out our losses
And of these stars in baring our crosses

David Bowie was the King of Plastic Soul
...

Float away on a golden sea of dreams
Lie on a tropical beach in paradise as it seems
Whisper as the cool breeze is on my face
Have no care for the modern times rat race
...

Walk on through each painful step
Though it is more than you can bare
Each minute of each hour of each day
For the terrible ache is yours inside
...

When you build your life
Do you sometimes build walls
It seems that there can be strife
And some times you can't see the calls
...

The beach stretched on forever in the distance ahead
As we had spent the day exploring in our adventure fed
We made camp in the sand hills out of the sea breeze
Whilst the sun sank to the west in a million star sky to please
...

Do you think there will be a summer this year
Will the beach be rain swept and cold - oh dear!
Will I get out of my long trousers and into shorts
And will my sunglasses gather dust out of sorts
...
