Paul Warren Poems

Fort Largs

The Colony built it for the Russian Crimea war
Fort Largs protected the Port River roads and shore
...

Fear not the dark the night time holds
For there is a sunny promise foretold
And know that when the night comes down
Light, joy and laughter will be soon found
...

Be not sad for me
For what is here
Is meant to be
Just remember me dear
...

Who do you see
Standing here
It's just me
I have stood
...

Could I stand just being there
Making out that you do care
Don't let your eyes wander
When they're talking and you ponder
...

Did you hold on tight
Wanting to be in the right
Or was it all just an illusion
Feted to a head contusion
...

On the days when the cold wind blew
I thought of the times we spent as our love grew
And the sun shone upon our faces
Standing tall and feeling that we were in God's good graces
...

Come my friends and beat the drum
For a newer better world to come
So raise your glass to old friends known
And those who have now passed and gone
...

Do you question the ringing of the bell
That sounds the passing of one known so well
We who shared our life as we grew old
And was part of our story that would unfold
...

She was the people's princess for our time
And we loved her for herself so divine
But her prince was not at all charming
Who lived his life for himself and for us was so alarming
...
