David Harris Poems

A light from heaven flickers gently on the waves.
As a boat rocks merrily, above a sea of dead men’s graves.
Colours of the rainbows, spread fingers from the shore.
The sea is filled with beauty; it is also filled with lore.
...

Talking to your picture
Every night of everyday
Talking to your picture
Since you went away
...

One is a lonely number
Two is company
One is the last word in alone
That’s what I’ve been since you left me
...

Through the years
Your lips
Have been wasted
Without being tasted
...

Take the showers of April
The roses of June
The lazy sun of August
For an October honeymoon
...

The howl of the night
Wakes me from my dreams
To gaze out the windows
At twinkling moonbeams
...

Today I heard a song
that whispered through the trees
and was shouted by the breeze.
It was an enchanting song
...

Our brow is stained with sadness
and we begin to wonder
did we leap before we looked
when love gave us the call.
...

With every happy heart,
there is a broken one
in need of repair somewhere.
One that holds only sorrow
...

The tarnished leaves of autumn
leave the trees lying bare.
Like skeletons reaching out
pointing skyward stare.
...
