Paul Warren Poems

The silence of the Outback
Where you can stand near a track
And silence rules the air
The gibber rocks are bare
...

The fighting in WW2 around Stalingrad
Was as hard as the Great War was bad
The German Army ended up in a siege
And 91,000 Germans were captured and aggrieved
...

I picture you on a sunny day
With you by my side to stay
Holding hands as we walk
Lost in each other as we talk
...

In vino, veritas
When there is truth to find
And from others to keep blind
We do not need to always find the facts
...

It was quite a cold and chilly afternoon
The icy wind was blowing in the gloom
We were on a self drive rental car holiday
Through the French countryside in our stay
...

We walked along through on the Heysen Trail
The track was rugged and we wanted to prevail
In the back blocks of the Flinders Ranges we walked
Not wanting to miss a minute as the Cockatoos squawked
...

The sweet touch
Of your lips on mine
As your soft breath
Caresses my cheek
...

I don’t want a tape worm sucking away inside
For that would certainly dent my inner pride
My choice would be for an overactive thyroid
And to have my fat from my body to be devoid
...

I wake in the morning
My neck aches
And it takes time to focus
I need to rub my eyes to see
...

How could you look like that and never take a stand
Go on look at you now! You're not a stronger man!
When he comes into work he won't look at you in the eye
All he does is walk around and look away towards the sky!
...
