Shirley Harrison Poems

And then…
in a split moment
my mood changed…
flooded by the darkest moments
...

If it wasn't for my gentle heart
my feathers would have burned fiercely
a soul that once had light
my freedom just a memory
...

There's something most intriguing
about the work of a great poet
once he's dead and buried,
maybe it's the simple silence
...

And as I dreamt long

long into this beautiful night
...

I cannot see my way
without you beside me
there's no future left
no future, without you
...

And as I dreamt long, long
into this beautiful night
I glimpsed his grin
deep within
...

An envelope a stamp

paper and a pen
...

I'm bouncing on a fluffy pink cloud

with a giant Stork
...

If true love has such spiritual dimension
then I trust that someday it will find me

and as I wait
...

And as I sweep my modest paintbrush, over this canvas

I find myself painting a picture
of everything you mean to me
...

There are those who write about love they've never had

what could have been?
...

And of love?

love has endless angles
...

I've lost my truest love
there's no need
for me to wake up anymore
...

She was a daydreamer

one who actually lived out her fantasies
...

15.

And as her wings now spread fiercely

like the magnificent curtains
...

When known that one great spark

igniting the heart
...

I can see the radiance from the tree
when the sun is shining bright
I can hear the buzzing of the bee
I see beauty in the light
...

I felt the presence
of an enormous shaped shadow
coming down in front of me
...

And as my shaking hand
reaches out reluctantly
yet again
...

It's true that love

didn't kill, you or I
...

Shirley Harrison Biography

I love words, I adore writing poems, lyrics too. I find that I have a beautiful muse who can express the feelings inside my soul and bring them out into pictures from words. I hope worth sharing with the outside world.)

The Best Poem Of Shirley Harrison

Grieving Heart

And then…
in a split moment
my mood changed…
flooded by the darkest moments
that ripped my soul from my torso
my body falling once more to the floor
as a dead body falls

I could actually describe it as
being lost, so damn lost, numb and cold
I had to find my way
but my legs somehow didn't want me to walk
I was simply stuck
watching a clock that didn't have hands

no road could offer solace
each one that I chose
simply offering grief and uncertainty

all I thought I needed
I just couldn't find

a simple road sign, signaling the right way
navigation
that we all crave at some time in our lives
the only sign I found
was battered by natures wrath
it seemed, as if it was as lost as I was?
both of us, cheated by the claws
and scratches of this relentless wind
pelted by rain
rain, that sometimes felt like rocks
darkest clouds in an unforgiving sky

all I could confirm
in my tired brain-frozen-mind
was that there simply wasn't an exit
and without an exit
it actually led me to feel peaceful
at least finding peace in my own acceptance
that I may never find my way

but then in another split second
my mood changed once more
and I didn't need that sign
that one simple direction
that could have helped me find my way

because I'd made it anyway
i'd found the right road regardless
albeit a dusty road filled with pot holes
never the less
the one in which had light.
