Daniel Richards Poems

I never meant to be so bad and loose a clue,
A grinning grin that hid distaste had escaped
It was something I never planned as a thing to do,
I wiped that beautiful smile from you face, adieu
...

Masquerading as a man with calm collective reason
My protective charade was a defensive action,
A sight that frightens all even the heavenly season
Reached a point of no return or even retraction furthermore
...

How many beers
How many girls
How many tears have you fought and emotions have you quelled
To be the man your supposedly are today,
...

My life is sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for me; the prince to come,
But first, I must fight through fire and rain
To restore and strengthen my soul again.
...

Take You There To Take Me There

We slide away from everything we’ve got,
We shy away from all we cannot understand,
...

The Closed Doors Conundrum

Given a chance I could be somebody,
I’m hoping as I’m pacing the floor, that I can be somebody more,
...

In the name of, my blue view I,
Brought it all, it was all untrue I,
Know I’m left desperate, and it shows
And through the reigning snow I'm, now very very slow
...

You’ve been the one to show me the way,
With your open arms and acceptance
Your unconditional love infused with patience
Gave me the strength to open my eyes
...

It was cold and frosty morning, when I woke up
On a mid summers day,
When all the things in my mind caught up with me, with
So many words and images they had to relay
...
