Heath Harrington Poems

Cold stone bricks,
A Castle of thought,
Holding feelings of myself
A cold starving prisoner.
...

The gods shed those saline tears
wash my wounds and rinse away fears.
thunderbolts rip through my chest
destroying my heart and all the rest,
...

I'm hanging on
the hope of our reunion
always positive in my mind
lucid daydreams of your luscious lips
...

Ella you are the one flower in the garden of my life
that stands out. The slender green leaves sway
in the breeze, as the dew drops catch the dawns light,
they sparkle like Christmas lights. A butterfly flutters
...

I am in a cell without windows,
lined with black feathered walls.

Alone
...

Oh Maria, where do I start?
I can try to illustrate, love
At first conception, like the
Poets of old, who spun tales with
...

gray walls with no pictures for fear of outside thoughts.
Stand here please!
yellow tape strips the floor and takes my will with it: follow.
What's your purpose here?
...

Do you hear the voices?
I do.
They echo from concrete walls.
Where are they from?
...

Miller Genuine Draft slides down
Our throats and refreshes the leather
parchment known as a tongue.
My Neighbor and I talk like
...

If only when I hold you
my heart were visible
the flame flickering and flaring.
when we first touched
...

Once I was sailing the bright and shiny sea
Navigating by the lighthouse called the honeybee
even in the thickest fog her light would show the way
I trusted in my heart she would not lead astray.
...

On A sweltering August night
with mother Moon as our light
I wished on a shooting star
somewhere above where we are
...

I'm a shattered reflection of what I used to be,
A simple shard of mirrored glass,
because a moment in time changed me.
...

Among the grasses, weeds, and trees a new green sprout
Grows. She is mocked by the crowding grass for being
Ordinary. Just like all the other green shoots and sprigs
Of the field, green and slender, but she keeps growing,
...

I remember the day you left me,
the sweet smell of first bloomed tulps
filled the air and moist droplets of dew
slid down each of my toes. I carried you
...

I remember that first night.
enchanted.
full September moon
blanketing us in silver gossamer light
...

The Best Poem Of Heath Harrington

Castle Of Thought

Cold stone bricks,
A Castle of thought,
Holding feelings of myself
A cold starving prisoner.
A frigid chill
Seeps through cracks,
Cold are the thoughts of man,
Freezing the dark center.
Depraved of light
under Depression’s rule
Darkness surrounds the cell.
Walls with no windows
A castle of thought
Which keeps the soul hidden
In the icy domain
Of the Baron Depression.

Then comes an invasion on the wall
Threatening the peace of pity
And its lord Depression.
A siege of poetry
And self esteem
Its champion: Love.
Worry the dwellings
Of the castle of thought.
Bombardments rock
my small dark cell
visions of being crushed
during the confusion of battle
Frightens my starving spirit.

A war of virtue
At odds since the beginning
oppose each other on the
Fields of forever,
Neither ready to surrender,
Armies willing to perish
For control over my human soul.
An internal battle
taking its toll
On Baron’s castle of thought.
Warriors of ideals
Wasted on bloody moors
Ghastly Scavengers flock
On black wings
To pick their bones clean.
The ravens are at the wall
Eating what remains of
Depression’s dark armies.
The sovereign leader of
Darkness and dread
Escapes to devise
A tactic for another day

Love’s warm light filters through
Small splits rend in the bricks
And my cage flies open.
I am free to bathe in the sun’s
Hot golden rays.
I celebrate in feast and dance
around the fire of joy
kindled in the center
Of what is left of the castle of thought.
Love has released me
from bondage and chains,
Into the arms of my Queen,
Jubilation.

We plan a new home
her and I
with daisies and roses,
white picket fences
And all that is beautiful to view
We call it our Cottage of hope.
so all that remains is
loves blazing light
Forever there until
Future dark days.
