David Harris Poems

The strong smell of bleach
always reminds me of when I was young
and went to learn to swim.
The instructor told us then
...

The palm trees sway
under a warm Mediterranean breeze
as we lay on a golden beach somewhere,
dreaming that you and I could be,
...

An ill wind brings no fortune
when it blows your way
and if you see it coming
close up your shudders and boards
...

There is always a mystery
behind every tragedy in this world.
Always questions are asked
and someone has to take the blame.
...

Pinocchio was a wooden boy,
who every time he lied,
his nose began to grow.
What everyone forgets is that
...

Friends can feel like family
even though they live far away.
They inhabit a special place
in your life and your heart.
...

Sitting here listening to
songs of forty years ago
when I was young
and used to visit the local dance halls,
...

There are no super heroes in this world,
but there are heroes abound.
They are ordinary people
just like you and I.
...

It takes strong arms
to support the weight
of a breaking heart.
It takes strong shoulders
...

The melting winds of tomorrow
are dissolving my dreams today.
The aspirations that I reached for
are crumbling in my hand.
...
