David Harris Poems

The scarlet cloak of loneliness
covers my sorrowed soul
and my gentle heart is benign
to any chosen fact.
...

Fancy Dan had a big sedan
which he raced around the road,
its alright he told everyone
I have driven around these roads for years
...

Tomorrow I will be leaving
for I have to travel far
I have asked you to come with me
and I wonder will you be there.
...

The more I think about
the days when I was young
the more I hunger
for them back again
...

The shadows of night
fall across my desk
just before the dawn
to tantalize a dreaming mind
...

The dawn awoke one morning
to start a day brand new
but there was something wrong
outside no birds sang or flew.
...

You all had the adverts
that come through our email box
about fighting the battle of the bulge.
It’s not about the battle in World War 2
...

Our dreams are sometimes lost
in the words we do not say
stolen in our silence
they are spirited away.
...

Around and around we go
singing our song sweet and low,
our song of love,
and our song of life.
...

At times, we fall from grace
in absent mined moments.
Unfortunately, some people
have those all the time
...
