David Harris Poems

Victory beyond our senses
in the bright congealing light
makes nonsense of our thoughts
that spill out through the night.
...

There are many ribbons
that our armed forces wear.
The brightest one
that stands out the most
...

I’m going to miss you
when you go.
My heart will be singing
loves old refrain,
...

Sometimes our eyes deceive us,
seeing thing that are not there.
They cloud our mind with illusions
of what we want to see.
...

Everyday we meet strangers
all the time never knowing
if one of them
will one day no longer be a stranger,
...

Sometimes as we travel,
we’ll meet someone
who needs a helping hand,
so we stop a little while
...

A gathering of poets
at the home of the bard.
The sun beat down on us,
not a cloud in the sky
...

We walk down a crowded street,
a sea of faces greet us there.
We never know if among the faces
who we might meet there.
...

For JoAnn and Meggie
My adopted sisters and partners in poems

When you take partners
...

The fingers of loneliness
can sometimes touch the warmest heart
making it feel isolated
when no one is around.
