David Harris Poems

A few days later,
the newspapers tell the story
...

Tongues may put us under
for crimes we did not commit.
The words normally come
from those who are jealous
...

For Alison Cassidy


Today you are the birthday girl,
...

With the voice of an angel she sang everyday
She sang everywhere we went
Someone said she could become a star
With the voice that was heaven sent
...

In our lives we move around,
meeting strangers as we go,
sometimes those strangers
touch our lives in ways we do not know.
...

Daydreaming can happen
just about anywhere.
You sit down for a few moments,
and suddenly your mind just drifts away.
...

Our old love letters,
I burnt them one by one.
I didn’t want them in years to come,
to haunt me with memories of you.
...

There are times when the heart sings,
and times when it cries.
It sings when love comes to call
and cries when love dies.
...

It was Christmas Eve
and across the rooftops,
he flew, popping down chimneys here and there
delivering presents and good cheer.
...

Have you ever had that feeling
when you go somewhere
you’ve never been before?
That everything seems familiar,
...
