Paul Warren Poems

The beauty of her face and the grace in her move
Held my gaze with such power that kept me in its groove
And as she passed I saw her smile as I caught her eye
This moment I wished to last forever or not want time to fly
...

When in space orbit look out for a red conjunction
If you are on the international space station to function
It seems near earth there is a lot of space junk
Put up in orbit and now is just a lot of funk
...

I was programmed by my genes
And by my family not to demean
For my Christian teachings agree
To help the oppressed to be free
...

An apple falls down
Bright red round and delicious
No more shall it grow.
...

Southern Cross how clear you shine
Above a homeland forever mine
The sacred light guiding our way
In our hearts to forever stay
...

I am a time traveller who sees fifty years
All the good times and all the tears
I am a baby at my mother's breast
And a toddler with my first steps expressed
...

Let's lie on a blanket on the ground
Whilst the sun sinks slowly down
I whisper softly of my love for you
And make my promise to be true
...

What makes courage for all to see?
Is it doing something against the odds that be
When what ever happens chances are
You would not survive or get very far
...

The Pretoria Guard stood strong by
But some had defected to a candidate near-by
The Captain’s pick could not carry him through
Even Sir Phillip from the Palace couldn’t make his sky blue
...

People think they need a strong leader to show them the way
So they had Stalin, Musolini, Hitler and Pinochet
They usually come to power when people can't decide
And their parliaments are fractured and will divide
...
