Paul Warren Poems

I've sat here and thought about muscle cars
Big beefy motors that roar and tyres smokin' hot
And when you see a movie they are the cars of the stars
When the dream sequences come they are the shot
...

There is no other land that you could see
With borders found on crystal blue seas
A harsh land of blazing sun
Red dirt gets into everything undone
...

A gentle soul we remember well
Never a bad word said on which to dwell
As the years go by memories are made
And we recall them now as they cascade
...

They grew up side by side two kids in a park
Playing together until the streetlights lightened the dark
Growing as school friends and team mates in football
They had a drink together at the end as their call
...

Wishing and hoping your dreams come true
For what is so special for you
Is there a time when you give up on them
And say that's enough it's at an end
...

Leon Byner has left the building
After 23 years of people bargaining
He was the people's voice to be heard
And on most things he was undeterred
...

I remember the first night we kissed
So gentle and sweet I wouldn't have missed
The feel of your skin and your sigh
When alone together you make me high
...

If you could
Would you take the ride
Again…
How would it be
...

Another Australia Day has dawned again
The question s why can't we all be friends
A flag flies over us
Including the Union Jack makes a fuss
...

When I play you my song
I want you to sing along
And take in each word
With my thoughts that have occurred
...
