David Harris Poems

I held a star last night
in the palm of my hand.
I wished to the heavens
for peace in every land.
...

There are times when we think
of places where we grew up.
We moved away, then came back
to find some places were different
...

We give our love freely
to everything and everyone
who we meet and see.
From God’s smallest creatures
...

If I could choose
from all the girls I’ve ever known,
my choice would always end
with you being my number one.
...

Within every life there comes a time
when you need to take a break,
to start something new.
A point at when your life seems stale
...

You came out of a dream,
and stood there before me,
inches away from the tips of my fingers. I
wanted to hold you,
...

What is life without love?
How often I have heard it asked,
only the very lonely,
can really answer that question,
...

Today the sun shone,
the first time in many a day.
For weeks on end,
uncertainty has crossed the sky.
...

I walked into a shop one day,
in a dusty corner stood an old guitar.
Dust was playing its only refrain now;
no one took much notice
...

He was twenty and she was forty-three,
he was single and lonely,
...
