Paul Warren Poems

He struggled with what he thought
Wondering what he sought
To go back and do it again
Or find salvation in the end
...

The blue line keeps marching on
Each year they continue with their song
Others look on and in whispers speak
Thinking they know what should be left complete
...

Will you step on the hallowed ground
With our brothers and sisters that were found
When we marched together as one
And our lives had just begun
...

Golden sunlight streaming down
Shadows lengthen as the day dies down
Weary birds wheel and dive around
As the city closes and life winds down
...

The Thin Blue Line bends to take the strain
As others try to break us it still remains
Made up by strong women and men
Still standing so strong it's something grand
...

There is no more to do or say
Except I've lost you anyway
What point is there for trying any more
Let's just go our separate ways as we know the score
...

Here I am alone in space orbiting the earth
There were others once but they are gone for what it's worth
For when we left there was peace of earth for many
But war turned up again like a bad penny
...

I sit and listen for it again
Whilst I contemplate my memories of then
Slowly going through my part
And forever to repeat the start
...

Each scar had a story to be told
For each time when he had been bold
For time healed the open wounds made
And scars were left as a memento of the escapade
...

I heard that you were broken
When I left you and your world was smitten
You did not want me to leave you
And you are now alone to weep too
...
