Harry Is A Poet

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Now while to some there is no mystery I thought I knew some things but I don't know much Looking at that person standing just out of touch Honestly, I don't see me. Honestly I don't see me Sometimes they're smiling and singing their heart away Don't have a worry or care they could give today They seem so confident, they seem so righ...

Dear Diamond, Don't let them  dull you. Shine you suffering stone. Be brilliant. Be beautiful. May the moaners always moan. Dear Diamond, Glisten and glitter in gloom. Live in love and light. You yourself can bloom. So go bloom big and bright. Dear Diamond, Worry not for the weary. Who do not dare to dream. Show them something shimmering. Give your all and gleam. Dear Diamond, I am glad you sp...

Life is different, but what could that be, Life ain't an issue to be tackled philosophically You'll never seize the day sitting around, doin' nothin' Those seizin' life are all out there becomin' So follow my lead, I proceed to feed You the knowledge of what it means to succeed Trust my path, and I'll lead make sure to get you half way Though tough, you gotta make your...

I want to write an epic, a story read about for years Get people cheering characters, get them crying tears I want people to be waiting for the next thing I write I want them reading my works straight through the night I want to write jokes, to make the listeners laugh Have the perfect minute of material to tear them in half I want nothing more than to write something to enjoy And I want it liked...

Sugar rush it's a must Build it big and then it's bust Go glucose go let the world know That you're sweet on repeat so flow But live a little sugar brittle if you can Let chocolate inlets into your hand So can the candy keep it up I'm a fan man fill my cup The high is quick Don't be sick Sugar boon Over soon Don't avoid or get annoyed at a small sugar high Also let go and b...

As nice as it is to play for the world Still perform to one person, if you're allowed I know you've got dreams of making it big young child One day you'll make every person on this Earth grow wild But until that day here's a truth better realised It's a good thing to make a few people satisfied Each person that I have ever met is fascinating to me With dreams and histories as c...

It starts with a moment The moment you commit You decide, screw the haters I'm doing it. You know the road is hard You know you've tried to walk it before. That few have succeeded And failure has claimed many more It doesn't matter You've made up your mind. So now it doesn't matter what obstacles you find What things life throws in your way What the challenges are you face each...

Dear Lord, Thank You, Amen Dear Lord, Thank You, Amen Dear Lord, Thank You for all You do and for loving through and through and Lord for being wholly true, Amen Dear Lord, The beginning and the end, thank you my friend                   That you mend and defend when I'm at whit's end Amen Dear Lord, Thank You for lending Your gifts and giving your spirit                    I'm lifting...

Every year on my birthday I ask what I have done What have I accomplished, what victories have I won? I imagine meeting Father Time on this annual date Handing over one year, as is my fate And then asking, politely, what did I get in return? Who did I meet? What did I learn? Did I cause more smiles than frowns? Did I visit new cultures or stay in one town? And each year, when I sit down, and think...

In life, we leave a legacy of memories Etched in connections in living brains Time spent together is not just being friendly There is love we share and happiness we gain This poem is lovingly dedicated to my Grandma She has been around 92 years on this World where we are Brings happiness and joy to many a different face She takes life and it's challenges with a loving embrace Because in 1926,...

Art is an industry Art is an industry Repeat Repeat Repeat after me Art is an industry Time is money lets get earning Art is money lets get churning Creative works for greed and profit Innovate make money off it Take from what you've learned so far Reach inside you (not too far) Be inspired make something fine Get it done by a deadline All we see movies plays Is done by 9-5 each day Don't...

Humanity was tribal for many an age Talks of travel met with confusion and rage There's danger out there, beyond that wall Even talking to neighbours could be our downfall Every tribe for itself. Every culture, constrained Independent people were quashed and contained Information didn't spread, new relations weren't sewn All anyone wanted was to be left alone And then we began to push...

I've been trying to let myself be more vulnerable recently, but honestly, it's kind of hard All my life I've lived so far has taught me not to show my cards That the world is out to get me, so I'd better watch my back And that anyone not constantly on defence is vulnerable to attack Easier by far not to be involved, better never to begin anything Throw up every barrier and don'...

Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the day I will rest. But tomorrow I agreed work to be done, and it has to be my best. And there's this other favour, and that one too. I don't think the tomorrow's rest will likely come true. Maybe in a week? I'll say no to things people suggest. I'll schedule one day in when I can truly rest. Hold on though. I have this weekly commitment early each d...

"Evil may so shape events that Caesar will occupy a place and Christ a cross, but that same Christ will rise up and split history into Ad and BC, so that even the life of Caesar must be dated by his name. Yes, 'the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice'" - Martin Luther King Jr *** It is a famous quote. You may have heard it before. It may have confused...

Do you fight the rain, or embrace it? Do you back down or do you face it? The rain hits hard, no one denies that Yet it's also bearable, you must realise that It may be unpleasant, or better from afar Sounds better on the windows or roof of a car But what if you know you'll have to walk in rain? Do you live your life inside in full restrain? Do you go outside, but only reluctantly Protect...

I can't even remember her face any more I stared into her eyes for such a long time What colour were they? Hazy. Same as her hands, I so often held in mine She was kind to me, I remember that Especially when we left, tried to leave me with no pain And with it she took nearly everything. Memories. Seized along with her name. She was greater than me, in a way I could never know She was beautiful...

The Compass The compass was a gift from God But the needle refused to stay still I'd walk three miles through deepest bog Trying to follow its will Today is a day we go North! Needle held a steady line Next day was East. I went forth Then it showed South for a time Occasionally, I would stop Watch my compass circle round Dive and dance and spin and drop Sometimes point at the ground While stat...

One reason people don't understand music, poetry, dancing or art Is we are taught to analyse it at school You need to fall in love, let it fill your heart Let it make you act a total fool You must learn each step, remember each note Break down each and every line And never feel the rhythm inside your throat Never live inside the rhyme You must say to that world of cynicism and fear I don't...

The sun is not for you, young Icarus You will burn your wings trying to reach so tall Let me burn my wings then So that in learning how to rise, I will know what it is to fall Just as I know it is better to have learned to dream Than never to have flown at all Icarus, The fall will be great You will never return to the sky Would it be better not to leave the ground? Should I also make sure I don&#...

Dream, young child. Your path is before you. You could do a thousand things But you can't do all of them So, for now, you need to dream You need to aspire You need to pick Need to choose Need a way to pick the left fork Or, sometimes, know what's right No human will pick 'em quite like you So you need to become yourself Dream, young child Your path is before you And you alone*** https:...

I want to be your ray of light If you will let me shine I know you have walked in darkness So let me share this light of mine I have been fortunate of late With few obstacles in by path If you will let me use this extra time I would like to make you laugh Even though we walk our own way You need not walk alone And, dear friend of mine I know your struggle is one you own But, if you let me, then fo...

It's been a busy time Life's been a rush Work has been hard Expectations a must You've been off your feet There are scars and blisters Seized every chance Missed some by a whisker Your brain's at a limit Your heart is in stress You've been piled upon As a well-structured mess You've done what you can - You've done your best. Finally, it is time to rest. *** https://harr...

At first, there's only static The spit and crackle With shh and speckle White noise. Underneath If you listen long Strain your ears And manage not to go mad Do you hear it? please Tell me You hear it? Beneath all static, there are words foreign, distant Deliberate Words Calling Do not fall in to the noise Do not listen too closely Lest you too Become Static *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.co...
