Paul Warren Poems

Is death the first and the last enemy for us
Or is the silent war for always with no fuss

There are uncounted ways to die
...

Life became unbearable for the young man
And to take his own life was his final plan
So he went to the side garage that night
And hung the rope from the rafter good and tight
...

Has the fire in your belly
Been quelled by a grey sky
Going from horizon to horizon
As it rains down upon you
...

The veil hid her face from the world
She couldn't leave without wearing one
For it held back the fear she felt from
The world as it spun in circles around her
...

Faith is a word that you hear
When speaking of God
For it can be hard to believe
As we don't see God in person
...

Are we working towards the apocalypse
Where we are waiting Intervention of God
Do we see our End of Days at some time
And cease our wicked ways forever
...

My computer now recognises me
When I start it up and in the screen I see
There is greeting of a friendly nature it gives
And Cortana answers my questions as if she lives
...

We have walked together in the Australian desert at sundown
And we saw the nestling eagles in the trees settle down
When the blazing sun boiled the distant air of the horizon
We travelled towards this mirage on the bitumen run
...

Slip slowly into a sleep so complete
Shake your sadness forever not to meet
Comfortably tucked away in your bed
Keep the nightmares away from your head
...

He made his money solving mysteries
Where he would find out the histories
Then painstakingly put together the clues
Knowing that the mystery would be solved too
...
