Paul Warren Poems

A lot has been said
About the Great War Diggers
Their praise was well earnt
For they did more than
...

Flowers and bird calls as they sing
Water flowing over stones as contentment brings
A cool breeze on a hot summer day
Snuggling warm as the rain on the roof stays
...

Open your eyes there's much to see
A world so beautiful and blessed so easily
Don't let things get you down
Face the future but make past lessons sound
...

It bites it claws away
Remembering yesterday
As it tears your gut unhealed
The wound festers and the blood congealed
...

Favourite songs pull your strings
As the melody in your mind rings
They are something to remember
As your melancholy engenders
...

A dark lens over each eye
Hides my feelings as I try to get by
For a time the world is at bay
While I struggle to not waste away
...

The next World War will be fought
On X-box in virtual reality as battle bought
Where our Generals will line will sit with poise
As the 3D screen will make all the battle noise
...

Harold hangs at the old police station now
An old miner or an overlander they say
Not everyone will see him as he takes a bow
He's as quiet as a mouse when you stay
...

Listen you can hear
The beast is loose
With piercing red eyes
It lives in the shadows
...

Tomorrow may rain
So smile even in pain
Follow the sun
As you live your life
...
