Paul Warren Poems

Cones of light split the night
Wipers wipe the raining spite
The wind hits the car hard
As the storm fights every yard
...

The stamp collector would sit
With his magnifying glass over it
Looking at each stamp as he graded
Ensuring that the stamps weren't faded
...

Antartica was a frozen land
With many parts unexplored
The wooden sailing ship as a plan
To explore the land not ignored
...

I am lying in bed and it is dark
I slept for an hour but now it's stark
Sleep will not come even though I am tired
The images are there still and I am still wired
...

Should it be how to press the point?
And what we get away with is the point
When we do try to make a point
But in the end all others do is to point
...

Sitting in the Eastern Grand Stand at Adelaide Oval fame
Watching football in the Sunday Night Twilight Game
Port Adelaide and Brisbane were playing Aussie Rules Football
As the sun settled down behind the Western Grandstand stalls
...

How much tax do you pay?
As a citizen of this country in your way
To fund things like hospitals, schools and police
So that your families can have these things in their valise
...

Do you know good from evil?
Is it easy to see the devil?
Some things are easy to say
Whilst others stretch out away
...

Decisions - Decisions on the spot

Decisions have to be made straight away
The is no time to think or contemplate a stay
...

When the day is quiet and I rest my eyes
I see you and your smile as you walk by
The times when we were together in fun
When our young love had just begun
...
