Paul Warren Poems

Gentle words whispered in your ear
Of the truths that we hold dear
Those words that are for you
The love I have in gentle words through
...

He felt out of place with it all
With others in this tired world
And his interactions always seemed
Out of kilter with the rest of humanity
...

Walking stalking behind us
Not seen or making a fuss
You can't see it as it goes
Even if your pace does slow
...

The sun beats down on me
I'm walking this desert to be free
It's a barren world with little water
Or food that is made to eat on order
...

Endless nightmares I see
Falling down with gravity
Paralysed so I can't move
I am bombarded with what I won't choose
...

When will it end
All the things I defend
Do I have to catch the thrown spear
And protect those people and things I hold dear
...

Who do I tell my tales to
Will they sit and listen too
How do I speak the words I need
And make it right and to succeed
...

These burdens that I carry
Hold me back and ensue I don't tarry
For they drag me down
Being left on this unholy ground
...

It's all a lie I heard them say
Standing together in the new light of day
And lying seems the thing to do
Then you will find it will get you through
...

Drifting drifting on an endless sea
Wanting the world to feel so free
Friday afternoon so sweet
Smiling and nodding at those you meet
...
