Paul Warren Poems

They say it is time to look back
At 2021 when COVID 19 had the knack
Of keeping us apart by 1.5 metres
And wearing of masks helped hide our expletives
...

Sitting back today in a New Year
Thinking of the news I did hear
Of some gentle souls who have departed
And others I held strong who to me were martyred
...

Hey Commander can't you see
The way forward that's meant to be
Standing there waiting for the cue
Your the one who should know what to do
...

What went over in my head
Did you do what asked instead?
Of wanting it your own way
Without knowing the issue to stay
...

There is a secret we don't know
That lasts a lifetime til the end of the show
And we may wonder at it each day
A wonder that not ever goes away
...

She sits and stares out the window
Not saying a word as the world continues the show
What she sees I do not know
No reaction on her face that shows
...

Here's to the ones who stood by me
And helped in the bad times that I'd see
When the world looked so bad
Making life a task so heavy and sad
...

Yesterday has gone away
Other days have gone that way
What you did and what you said
Has been left and put to bed
...

The night I met you
I decided I needed you so
And if I had you
I'd never let you go
...

We booked on the radio as was the way
And out the station we drove away
The radio prattles its continual banter
As we policed the streets at a slow canter
...
