David Harris Poems

Sometimes we experience
monumental change
within our daily lives.
A change so dramatic
...

I pass this way one time only
a fleeting minute in eternity
and what I do in that minute
is entirely up to me.
...

When we are young,
we want to be older than we are,
and when we are old,
we want to be a child again.
...

Out of all the vegetables we eat,
beans are the musical of the lot.
They sometimes give out a little squeak
and sometimes a cannon’s roar
...

Every year on the first of December
the annual Christmas presents treasure hunt begins.
During the January sales, my wife and I buy
our Christmas presents for the on coming year,
...

Within the walls that you keep building,
somewhere there must lie a heart.
A heart of stone or a heart of love?
Are the walls that you built
...

He sat under a palm tree
serenading his lady fair
when a coconut dropped on his head
and he sat with a blank stare there.
...

Our hearts rule our heads
when it comes to love,
often we leap before we look
and many times disaster occurs
...

We send our subliminal messages
from the language of our body
and the gestures that we make.
Our desires lay hidden
...

Don’t be angry at me
if I say something wrong.
Don’t be angry at me,
everyone makes mistakes
...
