Paul Warren Poems

I found a place
Where I want to stay
Not to ponder upon yesterday
Or think about tomorrow
...

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

People are ordinary in what they want
I think fame can be a bit of a font
Where you are forced to go it it often
To drain away fear to be forgotten
...

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
...

What are the things that eat at you
In the quiet times when you think it through
Do you mull over a time
When you should have been better in your rhyme
...

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
...

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
...

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

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