Paul Warren Poems

Wilhelm Furtwängler was a German concert and operatic conductor
Who was prominent in Germany when Hitler was their mentor
With Hitler preaching racism, persecution and murder in the world
He stayed helping Jewish musicians to survive as the swastika was unfurled
...

Gentle Breeze blow
Caressing cooling my hot face
The eagle soaring
...

I am a time traveller who sees fifty years
All the good times and all the tears
I am a baby at my mother's breast
And a toddler with my first steps expressed
...

Let's lie on a blanket on the ground
Whilst the sun sinks slowly down
I whisper softly of my love for you
And make my promise to be true
...

What makes courage for all to see?
Is it doing something against the odds that be
When what ever happens chances are
You would not survive or get very far
...

The Pretoria Guard stood strong by
But some had defected to a candidate near-by
The Captain’s pick could not carry him through
Even Sir Phillip from the Palace couldn’t make his sky blue
...

Take the time to live
Do not wait to live your life
Happiness is yours
...

In the blazing sun on dusty plains
In the dead of night as the cold complains
We who wear the blue are standing here
In duty's call that is quite clear
...

Nothing lasts forever they say
All you have to do is wait it away
Until you see the end
So there's no need to pretend
...

Golden light chases night
As the world wakes anew now
Leave your bed jump in
...
