David Harris Poems

A pair of fractured hearts stand
near the corner of regret.
Each with their arms outstretched
ready to take another bet.
...

Angry words can wound the strongest heart
and sour the brightest smile.
Bringing tears to the fairest eyes
and making the weakest howl.
...

Love is
The feeling of belonging
when you get home every night.
...

I looked at some photos
of many years ago.
Boy, did I look young.
They were taken before
...

Sometimes we avoid telling someone,
something that might worry them.
We want to spare them worrying,
as we feel that might be better.
...

I sat on a bench,
and watched the autumn leave fall.
A gentle breeze would shake them loose,
until they drifted to the ground.
...

As a writer I sometimes
have to step in another’s shoes.
Feel all the emotions the way they would do.
Feel the love that makes them happy,
...

After years of friendship,
and from words of another,
they decided that they no longer,
wanted to be a friend.
...

When everything seems lost,
and your afraid to go on.
Your heart is weeping,
and your friends tell you to be strong.
...

Sunshine seeps through my window,
and set my heart aglow.
It warms this tired old body,
both in mind and soul.
...
