David Harris Poems

Halloween is over
and the ghosts have gone to bed.
The next thing on the agenda
is the failed gunpowder plot
...

Though we came here together
and if the cards fall right
we will not go our separate ways,
we will leave as we came,
...

The roads that we take
are never easy
there are always obstacles
on the way.
...

This is the sad true story about my brother Bill
who was four years older than me.
He was born and then tossed aside by his mother
who left him to his father’s parents to raise,
...

Imagine what it would be like
just to live the simple life,
a life with no electricity,
no radios, no TV and no music
...

All lives revolve in circles,
we are born, we live and love
and as age grows on us
our times then comes to die,
...

How many pleas go unanswered
as their cries echo through the night?
Too many, I am afraid to say
as we hear about child abuse almost every day.
...

The spectres of those
who once lived long ago
haunt the horizon
and walk until dawn.
...

Love can break the strongest heart
bringing with it tears and pain.
Teardrops landing on a rose
can turn its petals from red to blue.
...

In fluffy dreams,
I sail across the rhythmic motions
of the erotic sea
to where my lover lay.
...
