David Harris Poems

Little time capsules lie hidden,
beneath the turmoil of passing life.
Tiny mementoes laid down,
by strangers that passed this way.
...

A light from heaven flickers gently on the waves.
As a boat rocks merrily, above a sea of dead men’s graves.
Colours of the rainbows, spread fingers from the shore.
The sea is filled with beauty; it is also filled with lore.
...

Talking to your picture
Every night of everyday
Talking to your picture
Since you went away
...

For Mike Bird
1943 - 2005
My forever friend.
...

One is a lonely number
Two is company
One is the last word in alone
That’s what I’ve been since you left me
...

Take the showers of April
The roses of June
The lazy sun of August
For an October honeymoon
...

Through the years
Your lips
Have been wasted
Without being tasted
...

The howl of the night
Wakes me from my dreams
To gaze out the windows
At twinkling moonbeams
...

Today I heard a song
that whispered through the trees
and was shouted by the breeze.
It was an enchanting song
...

With every happy heart,
there is a broken one
in need of repair somewhere.
One that holds only sorrow
...
