Paul Warren Poems

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

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

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
...

Questions about the life
Permeate my thoughts
When good is not rife
And it doesn't go as it ought
...

I was listening to some old music tonight
And with each song I knew it was just right
For each song was a memory held so dear
As they came flooding back to me so clear
...

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
...

Wind unseen blows hard
Push all before in power
Irresistible to all.
...
