Shirley Harrison Poems
In the black of night
there was no moon
nor were their stars
just the dead of darkness
...
She was a Hollywood star?
she lived in the west end
in the last house on St Michaels road
I know because I lived in a flat opposite
...
My tears are just salty water
once released, emotions freed
my heart doesn't literally break
even when in a dramatic moment
...
I guess it all comes back
to Freddy and Queen in 1985
I was a proud member
of the London community
...
I've always believed
what is meant to be, will be
it's all down to fate?
...
A miracle can never be guaranteed
but whilst I breathe, I promise myself
I will never let one slip through my fingers
I always thought it, such a beautiful word
...
If one likes to keep hopelessness
and defeat in a wallet in their pocket
and whom seek comfort from the Raven rather than an Angel
I cannot help but wonder
...
Oh, nine spheres of wonder
how beautiful you shine
lighting my heart
when I look up at night's sky
...
I can't believe one man decides my fate
choosing how it's done
a moustache perfectly formed on his top lip
...
And as I ponder
on exactly what my next poem will be?
I reflect on the very moment
my muse takes hold of my precious pen
...
Beware, beware
they're hiding everywhere
some are pretty some are grand
some are green
...
Shirley Harrison Biography
It is my great pleasure to introduce my reflections of a very special journey that not all of us are brave enough to take. My journey comes out of grief and in my search to find a deeper understanding of love. I was born and raised in London England, but chose a new life in the Hills of Florence Italy, where I have spent almost half my life and this is where I really found my muse. Inside my book there are many subtle references to Florence and to Dante too. There is something in here for everyone including my Angel and some incredible imagery and humor. I believe it is full of positivity and speaks of grief in a way that others will find charming and hopefully a voice of healing.)
The Best Poem Of Shirley Harrison
Raven And I
In the black of night
there was no moon
nor were their stars
just the dead of darkness
staring back at me
I blinked once
I blink twice and on three
nothing had changed
Just the howling wind and me
and just like that he appeared
my Raven perched upon my windowsill
like someone had been keeping it warm for him all this time?
gasping for air
I just couldn't breathe
I couldn't feel my heart beat
all I could see was two round soul catchers
they were his eyes
staring at me
in this, the pit of darkness
and as he spoke
I knew what was coming
after all, by now I was used to these moments
he told me…
grief will come in many forms
but the form in which you choose to see it
will be the one that stays forever
and with that, he flew away…
into what I could only describe
were, the devil's curtains.
