Alc Harris Poems

If I forgot the warmth of sun on my face
would you open the windows
bring light into this place..
If I forgot the tenderness of lovers kiss
...

There lived a man up on a hill
The locals did not bid him ill
But playground whispers of this one
Who kept his offspring in the sun
...

I wrap you about me
whenever I sleep
Like the arms of my Angel
and gently I weep
...

He loves his 1950’s wife,
She knows her place,
Gives him no strive.
Cooks and cleans every day.
...

bruises on bruises
body and soul
black like these tears
how easy they flow
...

My eyes are too heavy to weep
My skin feeling old it creeps
My heart is too heavy from wasted years
My glass is too empty to drown all these tears
...

Betrayal...
Sticks in the throat,
till death to choke.
After the knives
...

Tiptoe gently across soft woollen floor
Slowly close the bedroom door,
Watch you peaceful for a while,
Before I
...

Furtive glances out the window,
Blood red devilment
Warms my throat,
To the belly,
...

Infectious affection
What am I to do
From my attention you never withdrew
Your smile lit a candle
...
