David Harris Poems

The waves rush up around my feet
from an early morning tide.
Seagulls bob up and down
resting on the water
...

Have you ever woken in the night
with a white figure approaching you?
You give out a short scream
thinking you’ve seen a ghost
...

The grey ghosts of loves passed
linger near us all the time
but cannot touch
the new loves growing vine.
...

Down the corridors of our memories,
we stroll whenever we can,
finding snippets of our life left behind.
Loves that we wanted but lost,
...

The secret of my success
is that I’m as crazy as a coot.
I am so full of silliness
my wife often denies she is with me.
...

In life, there are things we never expect to see
and a very large hairy fairy
with Pancho Villa moustache is one of them.
This one flew into my garden and squashed all my roses
...

As we stood solemnly
looking down at that deep hole
each of us tears held in our eyes.
We bowed our heads
...

As children, we shared each other’s games,
and grew up thinking we would never change.
At eighteen duty called to go to a far off place,
we said we’d always wait for each other,
...

If I can get through tomorrow,
it will be a brighter day out there.
My love may tumble and fall,
but if I can get through tomorrow,
...

Police Constable Broadworth
was sent from the station
to go to see if he could locate Joe Harper
after a frantic phone call from his surgery.
