David Harris Poems

Some people get jealous
at the talent others have
and set out to ridicule
them in someway.
...

The clock on the wall
ticks our time away.
Second by second,
minute by minute
...

I have a roly-poly lover
and her name is Two Ton Tess.
When she hugs me,
she squeezes me half to death.
...

Sometimes we hide our pain
even from those we love.
We are too proud
to acknowledge the pain we’re in
...

As the light of day descends
and darkness falls like a shroud
covering everything, in its wake,
the night becomes alive
...

Close your eyes my dear
and into sweet dreams fall.
I will be back to wake you
when the morning chorus calls.
...

The years have rolled away
one after the other,
but it is only like yesterday
when it all begun.
...

There is a question I am often asked,
of which I have no answer for at all.
The question is a simple one,
how do you write poetry?
...

In a hundred years from now
when we are not around,
I wonder if we’ll be remembered
for the tracks we leave behind,
...

Across the skies at night,
streaks the wishing stars
as the heavens open up
revealing their vast glory
...
