David Harris Poems

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
...

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

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
...

Like the wilting flowers
sometimes, love can die away.
The beauty that first enhanced us
withers as days and years pass.
...

Music can make us smile
while other tunes make us cry.
Music is all around us
no matter wherever we go.
...
