Flame in my heart
Craig Harrison Nov 2013
Like a flame in my heart
knowing your name was the start

My feelings for you, your power over me
Opened my eyes to the world, you made me see
Seconds into minutes into days
Proving my love for you, how when there are so many ways

Like a whisper in the wind
gentle like a snowflake
Beauty unparalleled
A mind so pure
Meeting you, soul mates are real I am sure
Hadn't uploaded anything for a while so thought it was about time, anyway I hope you enjoy. Working ******* the next poem called All we are is a memory. Not sure when I'll finish it so keep an eye out.. anyway let me know what you think of this poem, and leave me links to your best works so I can check them out and maybe get inspired.

World war 2
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
First Letter

Each day we wake up at seven
And at the end at least six of us are in heaven
It’s one of the worst things I’ve seen
I don’t know about you but these Germans are mean

Once we played a game of football
While we played there were six German solders standing on the Berlin wall
They only had limited firepower
But took out twelve of us, only a few of us made it back to the look out tower

Apparently the war could be over at the end of the week
Five countries have already surrendered
Just Japan
The UK and US are coming up with a plan

Second Letter

Good news honey
While we searched for ******
We came across his stash of money

Also Japan have given up
So we have won the war
So see you in a few days baby

(Knock at the door)

Mrs. Shovels, I’m sorry to say but your husband has been killed
A German bomb killed his unit
The blast was so quick I don’t think he would have felt it
Once again I am ever so sorry
Another old piece here, I tried something new with this one.

Wedding Vow
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
When we first met I knew that it was meant to be
But I had to find some way to make you see
Every time I hear your name my heart skips a beat
When you walk through the door I need to take a seat
Every night you’re the most beautiful person in the room
In fact you’re the most beautiful person on the planet
Except for me of course

I stand here today to show you my love
I love you baby
I can’t wait for this day to be over
So I can spend the rest of my life married to you.
All that are uploaded today are old work, but thought I would share them with you guys. Please leave feedback, its the only way I can improve

On the street
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
When I was young I grew up on the street
Taking and dealing drugs
This is the one place that teaches you not to retreat
When you get ambushed by a bunch of thugs

Were not as bad people seem to think
We just like to party and have a drink
We get chased everyday by cops
For hanging around outside the shops

If I had the chance to get out then I would
But I have to stay and protect my hood
So I hope from this poem you will understand
Maybe next time you wont be so brand
This is fiction, but is from a story I was writing at the time.

Mothers Day
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
How can I say this mom?
You have always been there for me
You have taken me to the hospital when I’ve fallen out a tree
Gave me my tea when I haven’t deserved it
And I haven’t showed gratitude one bit
So I’m sorry mom

I love you so much
So today I will buy you lunch
I will give you anything you want
Just because you’re my mom

Happy mothers day
So what do you want mom

Why don’t you put your feet up and let me do that
This is your day off
So take a seat and open your cards
And let me take care of the housework

I hope I have given you what you want
Happy mothers day

Fathers Day
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Today is fathers day
but I don’t know what to say
apart from happy fathers day dad
I know we make each other mad
but I do love you
although i don’t show it, i do mean to

You helped bring me up
you were there for my first hiccup
brought me gifts for every birthday
there’s nothing else to say
so happy fathers day

Depression
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Every night when I lie down in bed
I begin to think what life would be like if i was dead
when i think of this I can’t help but cry
for some reason i don’t want to die

There are days when I have fun
but I just watch TV that’s all I have ever done
I just don’t want to go
but at this moment I feel so low

I have no idea what to do
I don’t like my life but I don’t want to die too
Another old piece, new work will be uploaded before end of October

2000 Years
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Jesus has been dead for over 2000 years
and all we can do is fetch the beers
2000 years, not much as changed
5 years now we stay engaged

When we walk down the street we get grabbed
then we wake up in hospital shot or stabbed
you have drive by shootings
and all we manage to do is hold special meetings

With all this going on we shed tears
not much as changed over the last 2000 years

Water
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
When you're cold you're a solid
If it's hot you're a gas
But usually you're known as a liquid
Or even a huge ice mass

You created the land of ice
And sank the ship Titanic
Now home to sea life
Who live in the Atlantic


We are the slave and you are the master
With out you we'd die much faster
You feed our plants and our trees
You fill our Oceans and our Seas

Water we really need you
In-fact all forms of life do

You're so precious and rare
As a species we should take better care
Please leave feed back, if bad feedback if you have it.

I dream
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
I dream of this
I dream of that
I dream the future
But never the past

I dream of love
I dream of anger
I dream of fun
I even dream I'm on the run

I dream the good and the bad
I dream of my mom and dad


I dream of beautiful things
Flowers, art and music
The colors and noise make me smile
Waking up in a while

Loss of sight
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
Many faces I once saw
I could even see my front door
Things like TV I can no longer see
I can't even see me

One night I closed my eyes
Morning after I could no longer see
Why do bad things happen to me

Doctors didn't know why
Spent years poking at my eye
Even now they still don't know
I can't even see my toe

From birth I've had poor vision
Everyday I have a collision
Poles, doors or walls
I've even had some massive falls

You have no idea on how it feels
Not even able to cook my own meals
My son helps as much as he can
But he is now a man

Living a life without sight
Not even seeing the sun light
Enough to make anyone give up
Like I once thought

Pray you never have to live like this
I can't even see my own ****
I hope you enjoy the poem

Possible future
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
The heavens above open up in our mind
eating away at who we are
I ask myself how could we be so blind

Warning after warning
we still ignored
And all that's left is a world in mourning

Nothing left but the land
no trees, no plants, no life at all
All that remains is sand

The sea rose
Homes, businesses and lives destroyed
But this is the path we chose

Industry ripped life from the Earth
The atmosphere turned toxic
We found out what we were really worth

Sand and seas
but no trees

Could life restart
or could we survive
Maybe if we're smart

Proposal
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
Roses are red
Violets are blue
With all my heart I love you

I'm down here on one knee
Will you marry me?

Everyday
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
Everyday you make me feel bad
Everyday you make me feel like I don't belong
Everyday you make me feel sad
Now you're wondering is it a poem or a song

Everyday you make me cry
Everyday I want to die
Everyday I notice I'm different
Everyday I continue to try

Everyday you make me mad
And everyday you make me sad

Everyday is a different day
Everyday you ignore what I say
Everyday I like to dream
Everyday you make me scream

Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all the same
It's everyday do you have no shame

Everyday you make my heart hurt
Everyday you treat me like dirt
Everyday I cry inside
Everyday I just try to hide

Everyday I escape in my dreams
Everyday you ignore my screams
Everyday I wait for change
Everyday I feel strange

Everyday is the same
Everyday I wish it never came
Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal

Everyday, Everyday, EVERYDAY!

What is seen
Craig Harrison Sep 2013
Corner of my eye I catch a glimpse
And days go bye until I see
There's no light, only darkness trapped in your mind, fighting to be free

All you feel is fear, sadness and sorrow
how long until your heart is hollow


Time gone bye I knew you
Like the Devil and God
A battle is to be won
And the world will know when it is done


Once I saw hope in your eyes
Now sadness is all that I feel
To far gone for your heart to heal

The soul is dying
As all the tears are drying


The world around is killing you
Nothing left, you can do


I want to save you from the fate install
which is harder than a wall

What I see in your eyes
As the image becomes clearer
Is my reflection, in the mirror
Update 2017

A friend of mine recently commited suicide, I dedicate this to you Abi.

For those that don't know, I've suffered with depression for a while and several years ago I joined an online support group for people that had suicidal thoughts. I started talking to this wonderful person named Abi, she was one of the best people I've ever met, although we never met in person she still came to mean alot to me. I wish she'd continued to find help, but I hope she's happy now. R.I.P Abi
