Paul Warren Poems

Mumbled words in my ear
Directions that I cannot hear
The music inside my head
Goes round and round instead
...

The word was passed around
That a virus was a goin down
So the people thought to say
What shall we squirrel away
...

She looked me in the eye
And said what makes you cry
The tear you can't control then
That starts and doesn't end
...

The years float on free
Together forever as it should be
Anniversary today marks our time
Together forever our hearts entwined.
...

Dirty deeds and a fatal sentence
To pay for their crimes is their penance
To take from them everything they had
To the gallows they went their head over bagged
...

The Somme bled men white
With bullets and shrapnel flying about in the day and night
And he had survived in body alone
When death was the constant companion he had known
...

On the corner of North Terrace and King William Street
In dark blue serge and checked band complete
A soldier once who stood his ground
In a past war when his courage was so sound
...

In contemplation of where I am
To heal and move on the plan
For my restless soul
Bleeds forth without control
...

She wanted to lay under the Outback sun
And a star chandelier night when the day was done
So her family gathered at Parakylia near Roxby Downs
Digging her place on the rocky ground
...

I was born in Wuhan China a little out the way
No one thought that much of me so I thought I'd stay
Creeping about from person to person it was so cool
As breathing on each other was the infection rule
...
