Paul Warren Poems

I'd like to go back and do it all again
To see the people I loved and my friends
There would be no mistakes this time
And I would know which path to take just fine
...

The sun is setting in the distance of a yellow glowing day
The heat of the sunlight has been beating down as it held its sway
The dying embers of the waning disc sink below the horizon
The light dances in colours of a violet, red, yellow and brown song
...

I am sitting here looking round
On what we have in our ground
Thinking about our needs in this life
Surely no more of its eternal strife
...

We sat together one day
Over coffee in a trendy cafe
And pondered a question so easily asked
Hoping for an answer that would last
...

Your life is for living
Don't have any misgiving
Each day is sacred you know
Don't be too scared to give it a go
...

The Black Knight is in orbit at the South Pole near
And they say it had been there for two thousand years
Maybe it was put there by aliens visiting earth
Something went wrong and it was abandoned as no worth
...

Why is it that some
Think that after life is better
Than living life well.
...

When I look around what do I see
But other people looking at me
I think it's not me they see
It's the uniform that stands to be
...

The HMAS Armidale was a convoy protecting corvette
That was built for the Second World War for the enemy to be met
Although it was planned to fight the Nazi world menace
They went to face the Japanese Imperial Navy in their Southern advance
...

I am driving my cab on a cold clear night
Looking for fares without luck tonight
Strangely the moon made things seem
As other worldly in its scheme
...
