Paul Warren Poems

From the time when I could first recall
They taught me when you get up you will fall
You can tell it in the way they at me stare
A piercing look that is sometimes hard to bear
...

It seems curious to say
That on the first day
God touched one particle
That became the live article
...

So I finally decided to read the instructions on the page
It seemed that you needed to be a Star Wars sage
The wording was done by Master Yoda to say
An example was ‘On the floor the parts to lay'
...

Aussie Rules winters
Big Blue Spring skies
Autumns crisp with sunshine
Endless summers
...

The beauty of her face and the grace in her move
Held my gaze with such power that kept me in its groove
And as she passed I saw her smile as I caught her eye
This moment I wished to last forever or not want time to fly
...

We spoke together quietly one afternoon of his son now lost
I came to realise as he spoke of his struggling with its cost
His son was young and just starting with his own life's journey
What happened made him question if as a father he was worthy
...

Southern Cross how clear you shine
Above a homeland forever mine
The sacred light guiding our way
In our hearts to forever stay
...

When in space orbit look out for a red conjunction
If you are on the international space station to function
It seems near earth there is a lot of space junk
Put up in orbit and now is just a lot of funk
...

People think they need a strong leader to show them the way
So they had Stalin, Musolini, Hitler and Pinochet
They usually come to power when people can't decide
And their parliaments are fractured and will divide
...

In the blazing sun on dusty plains
In the dead of night as the cold complains
We who wear the blue are standing here
In duty's call that is quite clear
...
