Paul Warren Poems

I was a King's man riding upright
Who chased the Highwaymen on sight
On the coach roads of Old England around
When Bail up was shouted down
...

A lament now lost to the world
Of things that were once wonderfully held
Powder blue Valiants with a big V8
That were kings of the road as our driving mate
...

If you search for the bad
Do you identify the good
As there is a positive and negative
When the world turns as it should
...

I'm thinking of you today
Your touch and what you'd say
When I was tucked me in at night
And you reached up to put out the light
...

He was born on a little holding
On the Adelaide Plains down Lower Light way
He loved to run the paddocks round
A free spirit as a family favourite they'd say
...

The darkness of the night
Seeds a world out of sight
Hiding from us the unknowns
Where danger is secretly sown
...

Some people stand out in your thoughts
Of deeds done and strength brought
Mick Standing we remember as a friend
And a detective to uphold the right and the law to defend
...

When you woke up today
What did you feel was yours
Did you own it all
Or were there things
...

I remember a group of little ones
Playing in the sun having fun
Each one a mate and a cobber true
All having a say in what we'd do
...

Peaceful slumber might it be
Without a dream do I see
No need for memories now
Or ghostly thoughts to take a bow
...
