Daniel Richards Poems

I've spent many days just searching
Searching for a way
I’ve spent a lifetime simply pleading
Pleading for a day
...

As the colours of a daytime sky slowly spin with
The darker shades, they coalesce into a blanket of darkness
This is the signal this is the time
It’s time to be honest
...

Do you dream? In your mind do you see the tides?
Rolling and rolling, do you breath? Do you deceive
Do you dream? or is it the lies we tell ourselves so we can survive
...

How could this be?
I’m left suspended, disbelieving
In a well of separation, thinking
About the dreams I held shattered upon ones leaving
...

Down in the catacombs and dead coral caves,
Lay the shadowy secrets and the precepts you live each day
Life being the bomb, love the fuse,
It brings explosive bright light, too any situation confused
...

Can I write on this page?
And give it my heart, my love and soul
And tell it, it’s all my fault
That I can’t write, write the life,
...

With all that I am,
All of the overcast insides
The Many faces of me
All that I could be
...

Did you see the wind as it swept by?
Or hear my whisper in your eye
Did you see the bird fly?
Or hear the wings as it’s flew
...

My eyes widen as the moon rises above the hill,
No landscape just the rolling sky, almost like sorcery
My wide spread lids hide from moonshine it’s so surreal
The ten thousand faces Grinning back at me
...

Love spreads her arms
Crystalline in structure she lays across the table
A saviour to life, with her resuscitation
I will prevail
...
