Paul Warren Poems

I remember you now the Summer is through
When the birds fly away and the sky is no longer blue
And the days are shorter whilst the sun wains
Now the weather is colder and chimney smoke gains
...

When she gets angry and has to walk away
And can't speak or calm down in my way
They say when she smiles she has a smile
That people say is my smile on her dial
...

Both young men stood at the bottom of the hill
In the middle of the town and worked out their deal
They would swap their motor-cycles and each race
Up to the top of the hill to test their skill and pace
...

In search of the lost chord is rung
On a Tuesday afternoon sweetly sung
Until a night in white satin is won
When talkin' out of turn is for fun
...

On the hot dirty streets of the North
Late at night you see them come forth
Their parents are drunk or drugged at night
There is no-one to give them guidance that might
...

What do you miss on the edge of your headlights?
Are there things that wander that would give you a fright?
Do these things that you miss on the edge of the beam
Would normally only be seen in a nightmare or dream?
...

What did you feel as you pushed the knife?
Did all the strain disappear with this strife?
Did the lust for killing find you now
Or was it just your final bow?
...

1.
We remember our daughters and sons so true
Who stood for us in times when trouble grew
We honour you here and remember each one
...

3.
When the sun rises in the morning remember me
When the sun is high in the sky remember me
When the sun sets in even tide remember me
...

Remember me in the glow of the sunshine
When my loving touch made you mine
I rest now my police duty is done
Feel me here with you together as one.
...
