Paul Warren Poems

The favour that was done
Would never make her number one
But it made a difference to him
And wasn't done on a whim
...

Was it wrenched out of your hands
When it spoiled your latest plans
Just when you thought it was alright
And you were back to the fight
...

The generations are not only separated by time
It's the pulse that they live at in their own rythms
Social media rules their lives in what it records
Where friendship and likes have their own rewards
...

Can you remember being young
When your life had just begun
Waking up early everyday
Was an adventure right away
...

In a life time what do you collect
Mementos of times you select
Some things will make you smile
Others will make you weep for a while
...

The German army encouraged young officers to report
On the good and the bad from warfare as it ought
They would go to extremes with this self analysis
That would mean developing defence in depth from this
...

The bonfire crackled in the frosty air
As I watched her sway without a care
The way her hips moved in time
Made me want to make her mine
...

Magnetic attraction
Of endless reaction
In the invisible fields
Where deflection yields
...

Did you see it move across the night sky
A rainbow coloured burning flying bursting by
Sometimes there was just one hogging the stage
And then others fell together on a displayed page
...

I look deep in your eyes
As you look deeply into mine
Is it the truth of love I will find
When we are together so entwined
...
