Shirley Harrison Poems
He's walking down the isle
the biggest smile he ever wore
but it is not he
who will say...
...
Today, I had the great pleasure
to sit next to
a senior gentleman
on the bus
...
A great Poet once told me
'those who have never experienced madness
at least once in their lives, have never lived'
...
It is I, who loves thee more than the sun
With fiery eyes and golden locks undone
No man presumes such tender gasp of breath
Such beauty could send my lungs to their death
...
As I sail upon my very own vessel
on this, the vicious tempestuous
boundless ocean
...
Last night I dreamt, I was taking a dip
in the magnificent Trevi Fountain in Rome
it's marble
wrapped around me like a soft towel
...
When I was child I was a dreamer
and on deep reflection
that be true even today
...
And as she called it love
and put him on his very own pedestal
...
If it not be love, please let me die
for it is I, and I alone
...
And so here I am In a dream
or so it would seem?
I've written many a yarn of a love once mine
...
She was his inner being
he was in a secret confession
with his own heart
...
In a world that leaves me feeling deflated and disappointed
I refuse to believe
...
It was an evening I could never forget
sunset was closing in
the air was fresh
...
If all tragedies of life
led to a path of warmth
there would be nothing
left to write about.
...
You're the king of my universe
your poetry ignites my gentle heart
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul
...
Shirley Harrison Biography

The Best Poem Of Shirley Harrison
Like A Song
As much as the thought of death terrifies me
I can't help but imagine
it must be beautiful?
well, none on earth
can say they have been to see for themselves?
otherwise they'd have to explain
how on earth can they be here now?
If you'll pardon my pun
I guess I was dead before I was born?
That's a theory personal to me
I don't remember it hurting
before I was alive
sometimes, life hurts now though
I know many people
who are on the other side
i've never heard of any of them coming back
because they hated it?
and why are graveyards so terribly cold?
not much fun nor pleasant on the eye
even though a tombstone has a name on it
all those names are just a memory for someone here right?
having visited many graves
I can honestly say
It's a peaceful place
dark to the living heart yes
yet, I believe those lost souls
must be somewhere?
probably in a parallel world
of complete content?
not as who they once were
but as themselves
and who they always really wanted to be?
it must be a beautiful place
full of every wonder that we don't have here?
when I get there
maybe i'll even be a songwriter?
because…
life really is, like a song.
