David Harris Poems

As children, we shared each other’s games,
and grew up thinking we would never change.
At eighteen duty called to go to a far off place,
we said we’d always wait for each other,
...

it will be a brighter day out there.
My love may tumble and fall,
but if I can get through tomorrow,

Police Constable Broadworth
was sent from the station
to go to see if he could locate Joe Harper
after a frantic phone call from his surgery.
...

Your sleepy eyes have a dreamy look,
suggesting you are far away,
thinking of some distant thoughts,
rekindled by a memory,
...

People often wonder why

for when they meet me
I seem a happy-go-lucky guy.
...

The mist moved across the field
swallowing up everything in its path.
A white blanket that hovered
inches above the ground.

where the author
has resulted to swear words
one after the other
...

We all know of heaven
and all know where it lies,
beyond the sunset
of our passing lives.
...

Someone said it was going to snow today.
The sky was a morbid grey
and it’s possible we might
be hit by snowflakes falling everywhere,
...

There is an old coat rack
that stands in the hall
and I’ve often wondered
whose coat once hung there.
