Nature
Craig Harrison May 2014
Close your eyes and hear the world
hear the birds whistling
the leaves rustling
your heart beating.
Close your eyes and see the world with your mind.

Turn off your alarm
call in sick
take a walk and take your time,
close your eyes and hear the world.
Fish swimming
birds flying
sheep eating
all happening while we're all sleeping.

When your ready open your eyes
see the world
see its beauty
see its variety
see its wonders you're yet to explore
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.

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.

I search the world
Craig Harrison Dec 2013
I search the world looking for peace
all I find is a world at war.
From North to South and East to West
All I see is what the human race does best
They ****, they cheat and lie
but everyone I ask doesn't know why

I search the world looking for love
but I have no such luck,
They say they love they say they care
but come my death bed they are not there
I've begun to question if love is real
If not, then what is it I feel.

I search the world and all I see
is no one quite like me
I see beauty and I see hate
but no one quite like me, to date.

I search the world looking for you
but I can not see, I can not find.
From North to South and East to West
I search the world doing my best.
Was lying in best last night and this came to me, sometimes it's like having a flood of ideas in my mind and not enough time to get them all down.. I hope you liked this one, I hope you like all my work but I dunno I like this one the most I think, and I hope you do.

Water 2.0
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
As the rain falls and the rivers run filling the oceans for life to be born
traveling for miles and hundreds of years
or existing as our tears
the water we drink, the showers we take, the pleasure we take from swimming

Hydrogen and Oxygen mixed together
but the water we have won't last forever
the rains still fall
the oceans get bigger
but one day in the future
the sun will glow and glow, the ozone will go
Water will dry, deserts will expand
but life will kick on
The most important thing in our lives
will be gone
This is actually a rewrite to a poem I wrote last year called water which if you'd like you can check out here

Who else cries
Craig Harrison Feb 2014
It's always bad news that we read
even worse news that we hear
it's enough to make you run in fear.

War after war
death after death
Every second a life form is taking it's final breath

The 6th commandment says thou shall not ****
but not only do we still do, some even do it for a frill
Every life that dies, every final breath that is taken
makes me sad and angry that I can not save them

My love for life includes the biggest and the smallest
Alien, human, bugs or birds
no discrimination on who or what I love
so when one dies, I question who else cries.
This was inspired by an other poet on here and it made me think that I should write about how I feel in these situations.

THANK YOU for reading.

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

Will I?
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Lying awake staring at the clock as it ticks down
another day coming to an end.
A day spent asking and wondering
Will I?

Will I die alone,
I've spent years questioning my own life
my own existence
but one question I cannot for see an answer for is
Will I?

Every minute of every hour of everyday
just more time off my life
closer till the day I die
Another day where
Wishes haven't come true.
I don't wish for much
happiness for all
happiness for ME

Will I?

Reading a book
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
I was out with my friends
couldn't believe what I saw,
in the corner
all alone
sat a woman
reading a book.
Don't know why
but I had to talk to her
I was nervous
but it didn't last
3 hours passed
before we realised the time
she was perfect
I found myself amazed by her
we left together
haven't looked back since

Savior and destroyer
Craig Harrison Nov 2013
An image I can not see
A voice I can not hear
A body I can not touch
Yet I know

I stand but I also fall
I live but I give it to you
If nothing less my heart is yours

When you're near I lose my senses
when you're far your memory is near

Blind yet I see
Deaf yet I hear
The inability to touch yet I feel

You are my savior and yet you can destroy me
My heart and soul is yours
For I am nothing with out you.

Set free
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
going crazy out of my mind
scratching at the skin trying to break free
ripping my clothes to shreds
can't you feel it, I need to escape
so hot, uncomfortable, need to be released.

I'm a prisoner with no room to move
no way to express how I feel
I just need to escape
just need to find an hole
building up anger and confusion
can't anyone feel it
this immense pressure, squashing me like an ant
pressing down.

I can't take it
ripping the skin from my bones
I need to find a way for my sole to escape
I'm a prisoner trapped

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

Something or nothing
Craig Harrison Feb 2014
What will I see when I arrive?
What will people feel when I leave?
Will I see red or will I see white?
Will I be walking into the dark or the light?

I had a beginning and one day I will have an end
but hopefully I still have a long time to go
even if time is beginning to show.

But I can not help but feel intrigued about what comes after
Will there be screams or tears of laughter?

Or

Maybe there is nothing once we die
except for our loved ones to have a good cry

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

Questions
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
How many generations have said the same things
"I want the best for my child"
"I'm not my parents"
"I want a better future for my kids"
"In my generation we did this"
"Don't blame me it was how I was brought up"

Well I ask
do you feel like you got the best?
is it so bad if you are your parents?
if so, how did you turn into them?
do you feel like you've got a good future?
do you wish you could learn you own mistakes or do you value the generational advice?
Do you think that a person should know right from wrong despite how they were brought up?

— The End —
