David Harris Poems

When I write I go into
a world of my own.
My concentration is so strong
the rest of the world around me
...

The other day I spoke to someone
on Microsoft Messenger.
During our conversation,
I said something that made them laugh.
...

For Sandra Fowler

Here he goes again
old Dodgy Dave forgetting
...

Every bit of paper
you see dancing on the floor
has a story to tell
of how it got there.
...

How many times have we said,
we cannot do this or that?

How many times do we say it,
...

My one sin is falling love
with every woman I meet,
but because I am happily married
I’ll never cross the line and cheat.
...

Each day I climb new mountains
in the struggle for life.
Sometimes my limbs get weary
and I want to give, but I have to go on.
...

For my wife.

Still in my heart,
you go unchallenged
...

I know some people
who have experienced both
the pleasure and the pain
and some of that pain still remains
...

Autumn leaves have fallen
across long forgotten battlefields
where deep below the ground
the dead lie asleep.
...
