David Harris Poems

Moon shadows drift across
my bedroom window cill at night
just as the sandman sprinkles
his stardust dreams around my head.
...

In our lives we move around,
meeting strangers as we go,
sometimes those strangers
touch our lives in ways we do not know.
...

For Alison Cassidy


Today you are the birthday girl,
...

Tongues may put us under
for crimes we did not commit.
The words normally come
from those who are jealous
...

Daydreaming can happen
just about anywhere.
You sit down for a few moments,
and suddenly your mind just drifts away.
...

With the voice of an angel she sang everyday
She sang everywhere we went
Someone said she could become a star
With the voice that was heaven sent
...

It was Christmas Eve
and across the rooftops,
he flew, popping down chimneys here and there
delivering presents and good cheer.
...

A few days later,
the newspapers tell the story
...

There are times when the heart sings,
and times when it cries.
It sings when love comes to call
and cries when love dies.
...

Our old love letters,
I burnt them one by one.
I didn’t want them in years to come,
to haunt me with memories of you.
