Paul Warren Poems

I sleep with ghosts
Who stand and watch
They don't interfere
Just stand and stare
...

The road went straight on
With the ribbon drifting as a heavenly song
They call it the "Road to Heaven" going up high
Stop and look at how it leaves the earth for the sky
...

What is left
A memory, a feeling, a picture of them
When you close you eyes weary again
What do you see in the dark and the cold
...

There are places I go and people I meet
For good or bad they make my life complete
Who they were and what they did may be mundane
But their memories are part of my refrain
...

We asked for this life
So very long ago
When we were young
And everything seemed possible
...

Do you like the beat of the music in a cool way
As you dance and dance the night away
Or is it the words that turn you on
When a good lyric lasts the whole night long
...

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

Living this way
With your eyes closed
Is easy to do
And you won't even know
...

Slow burning funeral pyre
Whose flame burns with desire
Smoke clouds obscuring the sky high
Things I left as I was too shy
...

The heat shimmered on the horizon
As the dust devils danced across the desert zone
Our car was placed in four wheel drive
As we travelled on in an effort to stay alive
...
