Closing Eyes
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
When I close my eyes I see
letters connecting to letters
words connecting to words
forming sentences I'm yet to understand

When I close my eyes I see
numbers connecting to numbers
symbols connecting to symbols
forming equations I can't answer

When I close my eyes I see
images connecting to images
pictures connecting to pictures
creating art work I'm unable to replicate

When I close my eyes I see
towns connecting to cities
cities connecting to countries
reminding me of places I'm yet to visit

Sentences connecting to sentences
equations connecting to equations
art connecting to art
countries connecting the world
When I close my eyes I see so much
it feels like my mind will explode

How can we
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Crimes of humanity, we'd be here all day
how can I be considered a part of a race that
Kills
Tortures
Hurts others
how can I in good consciousness say I am part of the Human Race

How can a species have achieved so much
how can a species with so much potential
how can we sit ideally by while someones life falls apart
how can we stand tall when we belittle so many
how can we accept acts of violence

We're the caretakers of this Earth
the caretakers of this life
How can we destroy everything that makes us special

I am not part of the Human Race
I can not be part of a species that causes so much pain
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

No More
Craig Harrison Apr 2015
No More
so many have died
as you sit in your comfy chairs
children are dieing
families are seperating
no good ever comes from it
No More Wars

Food becomes limited
costs go up
money disappears
luxury no longer exists

Hospitals become full
children become orphans
women become widows
men lose their wives

No body ever wins
we all lose
so please
from the bottom of my heart
as a member of the human race
and on behalf of all life without a voice
please NO MORE WARS

As we age
Craig Harrison May 2014
As I age I struggle to keep my eyes open
From not having a bed time to wishing I could keep to one
From school to work nothing changed
still told what to do just like I was and will always be
Teachers became my bosses and they will become my carers
I'm yet to hit my mid life crisis but I am already questioning my life
Did I make the right choices
did I meet the right people
did I buy the right things
Could I have done more
Fight for what is right, change the world
A powerful mind but with out the powerful job
a leader without anything or anyone to lead
a thinker without anyone to teach
a creator without anything to create
a lover without anyone to love

The world is not your oyster it's your baby
your purpose for life, the thing that makes it worth living
teaching you new things all the time
So beautiful from the moment of birth and only getting better looking with time
Covered with germs that try to attack it and make it weak
but continuing to survive, fighting back with its immune system
needs your protection from people that mean it harm
so you see the world is your baby, your purpose in life

As we age we re-evaluate everything
our decisions our choices  
and at the moment of death we can see what those choices and decisions created
As we age we question

With age we are reborn
A new voice to talk with
new eyes to see things
new ears to hear
all new senses are created when we age, when we question and think

We ask ourselves
Did I make the right choices
did I meet the right people
did I buy the right things
Could I have done more
Fight for what is right, change the world

With age we realise that we are and have
A powerful mind but with out the powerful job
a leader without anything or anyone to lead
a thinker without anyone to teach
a creator without anything to create
a lover without anyone to love

It's not to late, it's never to late
Your powerful mind can change this world
your leadership can lead an army of like minded people
your ability to think can teach those that are not taught
your ability to create can create anything from an abbreviation to a work of art or even create heaven on Earth
your ability to love can save everything and everyone

So to say, a lover without anyone to love
look out your window
look down, look up, look straight out
There is a Universe full of life for you to love

As we age we question everything
we learn new things, see the world differently and hear people correctly
Be more than human
BE GOD
This went a way off target but I hope you liked it

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

Darkness fell
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
Out of no where darkness fell
no clouds
no stars
no sound
only moon light remained
for those living on the ground.

with no light we couldn't see
only shadows standing in front of me
not of human shape
but standing tall
my legs froze, no way for me to escape.

Out of the darkness
came more shadows
no sound
no light
a figure not resembling human shape
questions swam around my head, will this be my final night
with my legs frozen, my body shaking
I was scared, but I knew I'd have to fight.

Like going blind, I was in complete darkness
moon light behind me started to fade
I was surrounded, they got closer
A face, so horrible, so ugly
what was it, what did they want.
As they got closer and closer
they spoke, 4 words
only 4 little words
but they scared me so much
they said
THIS WORLD IS OURS

The End
I hope you like

Hell
Craig Harrison May 2015
Never sleeping
no more dreaming
no more hope.

Dragging the souls of the old
whipped by demons
and constant screems in my head.

Flesh stripped from your body
dipped in oceans of salt
forced to eat your own brains
and drink acid water.

That's only if you were one of the good ones
the pure evil
the Hitlers of the world

Torn limb to limb
burned, drowned, hung
no food or drink
given a tiny bit of hope
but then taken away again

Eyes burned with blow torches
and left to dangle out of the socket
An itch that can not be scratched for eternity
you become a zombie
you never sleep
you never dream
you lose all hope

Don't stop
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
Don't stop believing
in a world I'll soon be leaving
don't follow my thoughts
or my beliefs
follow your heart.

The world is big
with so much to see
and so much to learn
never give up
don't stop believing
in this world that I'll be leaving.

I'll soon be gone
but I'll always live on
in your heart
in your memories
but keep room
you'll make new loved ones
you'll make many memories
never give up
and never stop believing

That little voice
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Does anyone else have that little voice
the one at the back of the mind that tells you to say something
or sometimes you shouldn't have.
The voice that tells you, you made a mistake,
well I have that voice all the time
some people call it the conscious, well mine hates me
I always make a mistake in his eyes.

I shouldn't have said this
I shouldn't have sent the friend request
don't give them your number
quit, go on quit
I'm never good enough for that little voice
I always make mistakes.

One day this week the little voice told me this
You're not good enough
you won't ever get anywhere
hey loser your going to be stuck in the friend zone forever
don't send that friend request
what ever you do don't give them your number.
you idiot, what did I just tell you
you can't do it, you are going to fail
she's out of your league
ha,ha,ha,ha,ha you hurt yourself
hey guess what, they don't like you, no one does.
You see that person over there well they going to **** you
hey Craig don't delude yourself you will never ever be good enough for anyone.
Why do you even bother waking up in the morning
don't talk to that person, they don't like you, hell I don't like you
don't do it, don't you dare do it.
I told you not to talk to her, you always do the same thing and now she's going to hurt you.
Craig, hey Craig, you ****.
Your going to hell, you will never escape, you will never be forgiven, you will rot in hell.

That little voice in my head, it might hate me, and when I was younger I might have listened to it, but not anymore, I am not the voice, I am me. It might be right, the things the little voice says might be right but I don't care, I like who I am, I'm always improving and on my death bed I will have no issues with who I turned out to be.

Before / After

Turn off the light
close your eyes
cover them
(Still not dark enough)

Move your hands
open your eyes
look at the sun
(Still not bright enough)

Turn everything off
put your fingers in your ears
(Still not quiet enough)

Put on headphones
turn up to full blast
(Still not loud enough)

Still not dark enough
still not quiet enough
what could I be talking about?
(Before)

Still not bright enough
still not loud enough
what could I be talking about?

what could I be talking about?
(The Big Bang)

From a spark to an explosion
from dust to a rock
from a rock to an atmosphere
from an atmosphere to a tree to an ocean
TO LIFE
Please DON'T look at the sun

When you think back from where we came you can't help but see how amazing each and every life is.

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

Silence fell
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
As the clocks stopped and silence fell
it was like the world had come under a witches spell
silence gathered all corners of the world
no movement, no sound, no signs of life upon the ground
as I looked down upon the Earth
no signs of life, no movement, no sound.

Cities that once screamed so loud
had fallen silent like a perfect summers cloud
upon the Earth where their was so much movement
now existed no signs of life
no movement, no sound, no life upon the ground

The laughter's of children playing
the tears of loved ones saying their goodbyes
the barking of dogs and honking of horns
no longer existed upon the ground
no signs of life, no movement, no sound.

As the clocks stopped and silence fell
it was as if the world had come under a witches spell
but in fact the clouds were filled
metallic objects hitting the ground.
loud noises, flashes of light
causing cities that once screamed so loud
to now life under a mushroom cloud.

War had come, no one won
life was lost
no more laughter
no more tears
no more barking of dogs, no more honking of horns
life no longer existed upon the ground
no signs of life, no movement, no sound.
World War 3 wouldn't last very long, if all countries used Nuclear weapons we would all be dead in hours

SAY NO TO WAR

Winter
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
Does snow love the trees and fields as it kisses them so gently?
It covers the Earth, nice and snug, with a think white quilt
as it whispers "Go to sleep, darlings, till spring comes"
It was magical, this snow globe world
as families came in out of the cold

Hair is gray and the fires burning
so many dreams on my shelf
the perfect Christmas
I always wanted that myself.

Stars are twinkling
Angels looking down
Green leaves wrapped in tinsel
trees are shinning so bright
family cheers through out the night.

This Christmas as you play in the snow
smile, laugh and be happy
your dreams may come true, you never know.

Does snow love the trees and fields as it kisses them so gently?
It covers the Earth, nice and snug, with a think white quilt
as it whispers "Go to sleep, darlings, till spring comes"
It was magical, this snow globe world
as families came in out of the cold

Ticking and tocking

Ticking and tocking
ticking and tocking
watching the clock as it's ticking and tocking.
Every second that ticks on by, my time is running out
time to repent
time to be forgiven
and time to start over

The clock is ticking and tocking like it always does
a constant reminder my time is running out
no more years or months
no more weeks or days
no more hours or minutes only seconds remain

Ticking and tocking

Hanging on my play rooms wall
many toys for us all
I have a feather slapper
black rose whip
and a pair of silk rope handcuffs
hundreds of toys
to enjoy my ***; fun
you might be scared
but you'll be screaming for more when we're done
Inspired by 50 Shades of Grey... Which can I just say that if you haven't watched the film yet, you should, it's quite good... Although I was expecting a bit more from it, but that's just me.

What am I?
Craig Harrison Mar 2014
When you say I'm not a proper man, what am I then?
I read and write, I like poetry and I like romance
I might not like fighting or drinking like most men
but I'm not ashamed to admit that I have feelings and I'm not scared to express them

I like to watch ballet and listen to Opera
I like a bit of Mozart and some Beethoven
one of my favorites is Pachelbel's Canon in D
I think it's right when a man gets down on his knee

I believe in love, princes and princesses
I watch films like The Notebook and The Lake House
I like walks on the beach and watching the sun set
and I get scared when I come in contact with a threat

I like antiques and museums
I like art and shopping
So I might not be the same as other men
but if I'm not a proper man what am I then

I like football, I like fast cars
I want to take a trip to the planet Mars
I don't like cleaning, I've never had my nails done
I like women and I've always wondered what it'd be like to shoot a gun

So if I'm not a proper man, what am I then?
This is the second one, I hope you like it.

unrecognisable
Craig Harrison Mar 2017
The heart beats the sludge through the body
while the mind waits to collect more subsistence
feeding and gorging itself
Always wanting more, because it's never full

It's not sludge that the heart beats
It's anger, constant anger, just pushing through the body
the mind sits feeding and gorging itself
not realising that it's become something ugly and unrecognisable

Once Lost
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
I have eaten the fruit from the tree of life
and taken knowledge that was not mine
the clouds are fighting the sun light
though the moon still shines so bright

One enemy of so many who knows us so well
takes our love away and sends us to hell
I do not hear screams or see the fires
I have become deaf and blind
just for the serpent getting in my mind

No matter what love God has for me
I stand here to prove we are all equals
made so perfect but able to do wrong
but given love to escape from hell
a second chance for all those that fell

I have eaten the fruit from the tree of life
and taken knowledge that was not mine
I spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper
and sat atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the blood spilled by my hand
I spent some time in Italy where I saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful uncle

But despite my good deeds I have been weighed
I have been measured
And I have absolutely...
Been found wanting

Welcome to the New World. God save me, if it is right that he should do so
Tried something different in this poem, not sure if it works, please let me know in the comments of you opinions.

Some of you might recognize some of the lines from this that is because I took the last bit from my favorite film A Knight's Tale and tried to include it in to the poem and for the rest of it I had inspiration from poems by

Seamus Heaney
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Raymond Carver

They are all really good poets and I hope that their fans like this poem

as I said above I tried something different so please let me know what you think in the comments

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

I always thought I knew what love felt like
but I was wrong.
We started as friends but then it progressed
and then one day I realised I loved you.

I can't stop thinking about you, always on my mind
when I'm awake and when I'm asleep
I see you, your beauty from the first day we met
your eyes, your smile, your body
I want to get down and ask you the question
I want us to grow old and become parents together
I want us to be happy together forever
I want us to live our dreams and travel the world
I want to see your beautiful smile when I wake up

I thought I knew what love felt like
but I was wrong

I know that I love you

From an house to the streets
I'm sleeping in the cold
lying on wets sheets

Seeing strangers used to make me wag my tail
but the years on the streets have left me frail
I bleed from my face and paws
and the people that did this to me hide behind their laws

I cry and no one cares
I've been hit by people with chairs
Where are all the charities that people talk about
no one cares even when I shout
Animals have rights and deserve happiness just like us

Fearfull
Craig Harrison Jul 2015
Society as we know it couldn't exist without control
from force to manipulation
we've built ways to destroy our sole
fear is what caused the weak to take control across every nation.

History used force
the present used manipulation
future technology will create new levels of control across every nation.
Things like passion, love, thought and independent beliefs
these things can take away the control the weak are fearful of losing
medication is the latest trick they are using
along with advertisements, news and war
turning each of us into a *****.

The fearfull will find ways to eliminate
PASSION
LOVE
THOUGHT
INDEPENDENT BELIEFS
because they can take away the power they're so scared of losing.
Not my best I know, but something I wanted to write about. Where I used the word ***** I mean in the context of  A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain. This is a meaning of the word that was given on thefreedictionary.com

What made me write this?

Well over the years I have noticed how people that seemed to have independent views of the world and their own independent beliefs that seperated them from the majority of society gradually seemed to lose those beliefs and views and develope new views that seemed to resemble what other peoples views and beliefs were. They seemed to have given up their individuality.. These views and beliefs changed with the changes in medication, advertisements and the news, also due to wars over the years I've noticed also seemed to change a persons personality/views/beliefs.


Also one of the other reasons for these views is because I started to think from a Artifical Intelligence point of view, the ones in the sci-fi movies/shows where they are programmed to protect the human race, but the A.I realises that we are self destructive so puts measures in place to stop us in some way.. Well are thought well the easiest ways to stop us from been self destructive is to manipulate us in some way, and we know we can be manipulated.. And the best way to manipulate us is without us realising, and the best ways are medication we believe is designed to help us, advertisements that we believe us alert us to something we need, the news that we believe gives us independent views, war which (should not exist, I don't care how evil someone is, no one deserves to die) but war increases patriotism which in some weird way increases our effection for our governments.. These things we're how I would imagine an A.I would eliminate our Passion, Love, Thought and independent beliefs so I imagine an other human could also have thought of them..

Our Passion is what gives us the motivation and determination to fight for change (forms of activism) it's also what pushes to be the best we can be.

Love, sadly love is painfull but it is also so amazing but it also what pushes us, our love for fellow lives, our love of exploration, our love for each other. We become and we are protective of the things we love.

Thought, no one likes to be made to feel dumb, but in the world of over 7billion people their is always going to be someone smarter than you. Thought is what took us from a species that was no more different to every other species on the planet into the most intelligent species, we have created some amazing things with the use of thought, but sadly not everyone gets to experience the benefits of those amazing things..

Independent beliefs you only have to look at religion for this.. Athiests and Relgious people they're the two main groups (I have my own views that are accepting of both groups) These groups don't get along, at least not in the way that is show to the world. They may be different but they are beliefs but on the same level they are also someone elses beliefs, some of my favorite people in history were people of both science and religion but in todays world it seems that you are labelled as one or the other. If you tell someone you believe in a God they straight away put you into a religion, many times when I've told people that I believe in a God they have responded with Oh so you're christian.. No I'm not, I do not follow any recongnised religious belief but I am accepting that I may be wrong and someone elses belief might be right.. They usually respond with no, you've got to be a certain religion, you can't just make up your own..... WHY? why can't I make up my own belief?
But I've also tried it where I've said I believe in Science (which plays a big role in my belief structure) I get the response hang on if you believe in science then how can you believe in a God? I usually say well it works for me... Response is usally You can't believe in Science and God at the same time, you just can't.. Why? why can't I? For me Science and God combined works, I might be wrong but at the same time I might not.. I may never find out but while I am alive, if it works for me then that is enough...  So it just seems that Indepedendent beliefs struggle to exist in a world where so many beliefs that are someone elses...

Sorry, got lost in typing their, I hope you enjoyed reading, if not I appologies for waisting 5-10 minutes out of the average of 4.208e+8 minutes with-in a 80 year timeline.. My maths is not that good at higher level so I'm not sure what the e+ means but it is a really really really long time.

You say you understand but you don't
you think you know us but you don't

we're the ones that con you
not for evil but for companionship.

Have you ever hated something so much
you fantasize about going crazy
just to escape this horrible reality.
We're the ones that don't qualify as normal
we're the ones that see the world differently
and finaly we're the ones that finds society

Salem
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
Salem, O Salem what were you about?

It all started in 1692
It was dark, it was cold, a bit of snow still on the ground

People arrested for witchcraft and some sentenced to death
19 people that year took their final breath
People were drowned or killed with fire
some people even hung with rope or wire

Witch trials didn't just happen in Salem
They happened all over the world
The first is believed to be a woman named Angele Babin for *** with the devil
And the last Bridget Cleary whose crime was unclear
I wonder how many of these people confessed in fear



We are monsters of our own making
we cause fear and we ****
Those that do no longer do it for protection
they do it for the thrill

But their is no thrill in taking a life
there was wasn't then and there isn't now
how could you take a life, that is my question. HOW
Please leave feedback, personally I don't think this one is that good but I finished it so I thought I would post it.

It's so hard
Craig Harrison Jun 2015
It's so hard
waking up everyday
loved ones not knowing what to say.
It's so hard
when everyone is going about their day
when no one can tell you're crying inside.
It's so hard.

Sometimes you look at the clock and pray
sometimes you hope
that today will be the day
the day you don't wake up.
It's so hard
lying to everyone
lying to yourself
You know you need help
but you're scared
you fear what they will say.

It's so hard
going to sleep at night
hoping and wishing that tomorrow never comes
that you never wake up.
It's so hard
when no one knows how you feel
and those that do, can't help you.
Each day, each night
each minute, each hour
it's so hard.

Senses
Craig Harrison Jan 2015
See the stars in the night sky
the clear blue seas
and the architecture of shanghai.
See art
the beauty of the world
and the passion of the human heart.

Smell the roses, tulips and lilies
the perfumes and aftershaves
and the over powering smell of chilies.
Smell the coffee, the toast and the flowers
the morning after a rain storm
and the bread in its infant hours.

Touch the sand
the animals of the world
and the many animals that live on the land.
Touch the fabrics
the rivers
and the seas

Feel the wind
the rain as it falls
and the snow hitting your face.
Feel the coldness
the warmness
and the change in temperature.

Hear the birds
the laughter
and the tears.
Hear the dogs
the cats
and the music of the world.
Craig Harrison Mar 2014
Is everything a lie and nothing the truth
What we see, hear or even touch
how do we know if it is true
how do we know if it is a lie
Is it truth that I was born and is it truth that I will die
or is everything a lie

If I tell you I love you
if I tell you I care
if I tell you I will always be there
how do you know if it is true
how do you know if it is a lie

You tell me I was born in 87
You also told me I would end up in Heaven
but I have just as much chance I will end up in Hell
How do I know if it is true
how do I know if it is a lie

We hallucinate
we hear voices
we even feel things that are not there
so how do we know what is truth and what is a lie

Are we here
are you there
do we look and sound like we think
do we even think or are we controlled
so I ask what is truth and what is a lie
Thank you everyone who has liked my previous poems, especially "I love you because" I didn't expect it to do as well as it has. Anyway thank you, as I said before I will be taking a break and this one will be my final one for a while. (Just sorting through old ones and this is the last one)

Forever I've dreamed
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
Forever I've dreamed
today those dreams came true
I never gave up, always wishing and hoping
and now I'm their.

7 continents and I will travel them all
businesses and I will own many
Forever I've dreamed
today those dreams came true
Tickets booked, hotel room reserved
USA here I come
One dream all my life, to move to L.A
I've waited so long, forever I've dreamed
no more dreams only reality
Sadly this poem is still only a dream but one that I still have hope will come true... The purpose of writing this is to help me hold on to that hope

Heaven
Craig Harrison May 2015
Immense pain shooting from the wound
eyes becoming heavy
anger, hatred, regret and sadness filling the mind
then total darkness, it's like going blind.

Peace, love, happiness had replaced the feelings
anger, hatred, regret and sadness that had filled the mind
A voice in the distance calling out your name
but still no sight, just waves of color washing over the darkness.

The distant voice got closer
images filled the darkness
fields, tress and children playing
beautiful blue sky with multi-colored clouds
animals running free
rivers filled with clear water.

Waterfalls so beautiful, like an artists masterpiece
behind the clouds and the sky, many planets and moons
the planets belong to alien life
the moons are meeting places
the clouds are our homes
and in the distance
the largest mountain you'll ever see
the home of God and his angels.

The voice calls out one last time
"You're finally home"

Thinking of you
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
In my life time I've seen
5 generations of the Iphone
The rise of Google
Bill Gates replaced as the worlds richest man
the continuing transformation of China and India
I've been witness to so much but yet so little

I'm still yet to witness
Man on mars
Alien integration into our society
The end of poverty
World peace
I've seen so much but yet so little

Despite what I've seen and the things left to witness
I can't help but think of those that wont be here to see the future
Rest In Peace to you all
This was inspired by the story of Taylor Smith

Sadly she passed away this year due to complications to pneumonia
while her parents was going through her things they found letters she had written to people but one letter stood out from the others, it was a letter to her future self 10 years from now.. As I read the letter I couldn't help but smile but once I finished reading I cried a little because I remembered that she had passed.

R.I.P Taylor Smith


I'll post a link to the story below

My lies
Craig Harrison Feb 2016
After a night of wonderful dreams
I wake to find i'm still trapped
trapped in a world that feels like hell
spending hours begging anyone who will listen to help me escape
but no responses as of yet.

Each morning I choose my mask for the day
but I see soulless expressions on the world
with the grunts, and hello's, I follow the majority
but screaming out inside, begging to be free.

I hate the world I was born in
but what can I do.
The only escape from this hell
are the dreams I experience each night,
Spero te amavi hebu matumaini wewe kujibu mundiyese ine kumwetulira

We are explorers
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
On a starry night I look up at the sky
So many planets in the universe to see
yet I fear I will never see them before I die

From Earth to Mars
How long until we visit other stars
Are we alone, or do we live in a clustered neighborhood
So far we have only been to the moon
where Neil Armstrong once stood

Our efforts are on Mars
when they should be further
The ideas exist, the money does not
We should be working together before our bodies rot

As a planet we should achieve and explore
working together we can see what is out there
Sure it will be scary, seeing the unknown
but we are explores, people in our history have shown

I don't understand
Craig Harrison Feb 2021
As I lie here and the tears stream
I ask myself the same questions
Why does everyone leave
Why does no one love me

For all my years I want love
I love many but no one loves me
Why?
What is so wrong with me that no one loves me?
Not a poem but I'm feeling really low at the moment

Love story
Craig Harrison May 2016
In Paris this story shall begin
and the 1800's had just set in
the sky was blue with no cloud in sight
so I went for a walk, and walk I did
hours went by, before I knew it the sky was dark, it had become night.
I took a different route home, that day
but with still a distance to travel the sky changed and what had started out so beautiful became, ugly, rain fell from the heavens above and I ran across the road to a coffee house.

I sat at the back, I had my choice of seatting, the property was near empty, at the counter sat a lady, a very beautiful lady, long legs, brown hair, but something seemed to make her sparkle, she lit up the place like a sun in space.
My mind raced to find words to say to her, I wanted to walk over and introduce myself, I wanted, I wanted to get to know this person. But then a smell of what I descibe as a wet dog reached up my nose and grabbed my brain to remind me that I was soaking wet, I didn't look presentable, this beautiful lady sitting only a few feet away from me would have taken one look and laughed.

I told you this was a love story, a story of love, not sadness and self pitty, so where is the love, well a strange thing happened, as I sat their drinking my coffee she came over. Sat down right in front of me she did and asked me how I was doing. Like it did with my walk the time seemed to fly, the owner came over to our table and told us he was closing, I didn't realise it was so late, I must of been enjoying myself, I didn't even realise that the rain had stopped.

Like a true gentleman I offered to walk the lady home, as we walked we continued the conversation that we were having back at the coffee house, we were discussing whether humans will walk on the moon, she believed that we would but I wasn't so sure, maybe, but not in my life time. We arrived at her appartment, a beautifull 4 story property with a sandy color to it. She thanked me but as I turned to walk away, she reached out and tugged my arm.

Never in a life time can woman find a man that she feels so comfortable around, a man that she meets only hours ago, but Sir, I would like to kiss you if I may.

Her words surprised me, not many women of this era asked a man for a kiss, but it was nice to be asked. I leaned in and our lips met, it was like every question I'd ever asked in my life was suddenly answered, the kiss was amazing, I wanted to do it again. I'd kissed women before but this was different, this was a magical kiss.

And that is how I met your great, great, great, great, great granmother
not a poem I know, I started to but then the word just flowed and out came the story above, hope you enjoyed

Getting louder
Craig Harrison Jan 2015
You can hear a pin drop
you can manipulate anyone
you can see things others do not
WHY
because so many are silent
so many waste their mind
AND
so many walk around without looking, without seeing

Your family and friends tell you to be quite
you're told not to ask questions
you're told to accept what is
you're told that you will be punished.
So while everyone you know sits silent
while everyone you know never asks why
while all the people in your life accepts everything
and while they sit in fear
You hold your head up high
you use your voice
you ask questions
you fight for change
you don't feel fear

The world around you might be silent
but they are always listening
and each day
the world is getting louder
the world is being heard!
If you believe something is the right thing share it with the world

certain things are not the right things, these include but are not limited to (hurting people/animals in anyway)
that's a big no no

Live free of pain
live free of horror
live for today
and for tomorrow
live in peace
live in love
live free
live good

Feel
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
The laughter of a baby
the feeling of wind on a hot summers day
letting our hair down and being a little crazy
getting lost and then finding your way
things that make us feel better

Arguments with loved ones
just missing the last bus home
not able to control our daughters or sons
things that make us angry

winning a prize
finding new love
starving all day then eating some french fries
seeing the world from above
things that make us happy

What makes us feel is different for everyone
I hope you liked this poem because I'm done

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

Can a friendship work
Craig Harrison Feb 2016
It's hard to tell when you've met your soulmate
but you've met yours
and I have met mine
but I wonder if a friendship can mature between us.

I find myself realising that we are quite similar
and I believe you have also
so I ask, can a man and woman be friends?
can a friendship work without others becoming jealous?
This is based on when a male and female friendship get ruined because someone becomes jealous, I have lost a friend in the past due to boyfriend being jealous, so I ask can a friendship truelly work, without anyone getting jealous?

Alone
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
In a world of so many
how can someone feel lost or even alone
I don't know where I'm going
I do not know my place
So many people but I feel alone

In a world of so much connectivity
how do I feel so disconnected
To many people to count all talking to each other
so many connections been made each day
But I struggle to connect, I struggle to fit in
I struggle to find friendship

In a world of so many people
a world of so much connectivity
Why is it I can not find love?

So many people, so many connections
Yet I feel alone
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

je crains (I fear)
Craig Harrison Jan 2014
I fear that no one will remember
I fear that I will be forgotten
When I die who will care

I have this fear
and it makes me scared
is my life meaningless
I fear no one will care

When I'm gone will my life live in memory
will my personality be remembered
will people even care about my history

I fear no one will remember
I fear that I will be forgotten

Je crains que personne ne se souviendra
Je crains que je vais oublié
Quand je mourrai, qui prendra soin

J'ai cette peur
et ça me fait peur
est ma vie vide de sens
Je crains personne ne se souciera

Quand je suis parti sera ma vie vivre dans la mémoire
sera ma personnalité se rappeler
les gens vont s'occuper même de mon histoire

Je crains personne ne se souviendra
Je crains que je vais oublié

Sunlight becomes darkness
Craig Harrison Dec 2015
Sunlight shining off her vanila like skin
and birds whistling to welcome us to the early morning
As she slowly opens her sleepy eyes
I muster a smile but she knows
My smile goes and her head drops
what can you do when your wife is dieing
what can you do when the doctors tell you it's not worth trying

The room begins to fill with sounds of tears
and the sunlight which only moments ago lit up her face is now gone
the birds that sang so loud is now only a whisper
and all that remains in this shoebox room are the tears that I wipe away from my wifes face
I hold her close, it is the least a husband can do for the love of his life
for all of time, she will forever be my beautiful wife.
Not based on my life

Tragic end
Craig Harrison Sep 2015
Lonely blue marble out in space
moving ever so slowly while your brothers and sisters watch from a distance
so many things they've seen
Evolution,  revolution
War, genocide, extinction

Lonely blue marble out in space
one among many
unique, special, amazing
dieing as your brothers and sisters watch on.

Lonely blue marble out in space
slowly being destroyed by the human race
Rest In Peace my dear friend
I'm sorry that one day you will come to a tragic end

If you're listening
Craig Harrison Apr 2015
If God is real then I ask you to help me
If God is real then I ask you to save me
Like glass can shatter
so can my dreams
Like wood can break
so can my heart
Like life can die
so can my soul
Like a person without hope can give up
so can I


If God is real then I ask you to help me
If God is real then I ask you to save me
If God is real


If God is real then protect us all
Help us all
Save us all
at least
Free us all

A spark of potential
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
Once upon a time their was nothing
only darkness, no stars, no planets, no life.
One day something changed
a spark that caused an explosion
more powerful than all of Earths weapons combined.

In that moment that very short moment
the universe went from nothing to everything
the greatest masterpiece, the greatest art show ever
in the space of a second, the universe was full of potential

Potential for life, for music, for creativity
potential for so much
we owe our existence to that tiny spark that caused an explosion
that caused us.
A spark of potential

I
Craig Harrison Apr 2015
I
I make music with my lips
I make love with my soul
in my mind the world is art
I create beauty with my hands

I hear the music of the trees
I see the wind as it kisses your face
I feel the pain of the world
I show the tears for those that can not

Some call it Hell
Craig Harrison Jul 2015
You see darkness and sadness
nothing but sorrow as you walk around
You're a prisoner with no way to escape
you hear the screams of eternal ****.

Dead bodies piling up
The sun drying up all the land
the planet excisting of only sand
you hear the screams of the ******.

Time is meaningless when nothing changes
when war exists every year
and children live their lives in fear
some call this Hell
I call it Earth.
We're born so peacefull, full of love
We're born explorers
We're born with so much compasion
We're born with so much potential

WHAT HAPPENED

LIFE
Craig Harrison Aug 2017
I gave up on you
when you gave up on me.
All I want to do is escape
and finally be free,
but I can't leave,
it's not out of love
but out of fear
which is why I will always be trapped here.

Where does it end

Hell in dreams

searching amongst this hatred, anger, violence
nothing but Hell

Searching
Craig Harrison Jun 2015
We're all searching
all across the world we're searching
looking for love
a connection
for someone to end the feeling of loneliness.

From the moment of our births, we've searched
we've searched the world
some find love
some make a connection
and a few find someone to end the feeling of loneliness
but not everyone
no not everyone
Some spend lifetimes searching
but never finding what they are looking for
at least not in life, maybe, just maybe
they do in death.

Lived forever
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
How do I put this into words
I'm alive but not forever
I've lived and experienced so much
I've felt pain, sorrow, love, happiness
you name it I've felt it
I saw the beginning
the universes explosion
one day I'll watch it fizzle
I've lived forever
I've seen it all
witnessed amazing
felt everything
loved so much
cried, felt sorrow, pain
witnessed cruelty
saw the best and worst
I'll continue to age
witness so much
I've lived forever
