Paul Warren Poems

Darkness shrouds the day
Light retreats away
A clear winter night
The sun barely put up a fight
...

It's the little things you do
That make me love you
And when the day is though
They make me smile too
...

At the end of the day
Rest and close your eyes
Your work is over
The night has won
...

Looking and Searching
Hoping and Dreaming

That love will be seen
...

It was a fine South Australian day in the April sun
The police motorcyclist's morning run had just begun
He was always a careful rider but this day was different
From the other direction at a speed that was significant
...

My father bought a 1954 FJ Holden sedan
It was light green and had leather seats in its plan
I suppose to us it didn't matter and our family was made
As we went everywhere in that car and in the back seat we played
...

When I was a kid I liked to ride my bike
I used to go everywhere pedalling as hard as I might
Whether it was a sunny day or winter time
The road stretched ahead and the fun was sublime
...

The smell of the sea
Craggy rocks and beach sand spread
Water laps on shore.
...

'Why did you stay, '
He said, 'When all the rest had run away! '
'What was your final call'
'When you had given your all'
...

An apple falls down
Bright red round and delicious
No more shall it grow.
...
