Jake Harris Poems

Change is to one man the death of a friend,
To another the birth of a child.
Change is the shifting of soft winds of spring,
to a hurricane deadly and wild.
...

You walk a path of yours alone
Of beaten dirt and cobbled stone
The life you lead is always yours
An endless hallway of endless doors.
...

Hours to days
Days to weeks
What value has time
Near the heart I seek
...

I never wanted this day to come,
I never wanted to see you go.
I thought we'd be together forever
But you didn't see it so.
...

A troubled life, full of pain
You long for sun but you get rain.
A broken soul, once was proud
Now covered by a sordid cloud.
...

Silence sleeps on the wings of despair
A fire, alight in her soul.
Brought on the winds of the chill night air
Hells angel taking her toll.
...

The battle of a silent heart
A solemn love, a lonely art

This man who walks an open path
...

Brimstone clouds the midday sky
Taking light from living eye
Choking plants until they die
Welcome to my mind.
...

The silent sounds of a harp unstrung
Play the mournful tune of a heart now stung
Singing timeless lyrics on a serpentine tongue
To be played eternally throughout all time
...

What the hell am I doing here?
Living a life of colourless cheer.
Walking streets in constant fear.
Whispering words inside my ear.
...
