Daniel Richards Poems

In this world we’re nought but dancers,
We miss the angels and clasp only playthings
We treat each other in scores of separate ways
It’s us that put my soul in jeopardy
...

Just you and me, not meant to be together,
But,
Every day we spend together always,
My best friend and saviour
...

For as long as i remember,
Looking out my windows,
Always trying to find the sun, knowing its somewhere around
Clouds are forming confusion,
...

It ends tonight

Life’s subtleties are hanging me,
I can’t explain
...

standing trying to be a man

First thing I remember was
Being told I was too young to understand
...

Somebody told me long ago,
your heart will break before they go
I know,
It’s been coming for sometime
...

The morning sun is rising,
It must be that time again,
The setting in of the enveloping pain
Cold breezing in through the window
...

I don’t wanna be sitting here at 4 o’clock in the morning
Or be my tear that has seemingly left home,
I don’t wanna spend my life amidst the paranoid yawning
Or be spinning, falling and falling alone,
...

Im running from my failing foundations
And I tried to give you fair warning
Told you everything all out and bare, but nobody’s listening
Tried too communicate over the years, inbetween the screaming voices, petulance
...

In the dark of the night, I hear you softly whisper my name
Echoes flow like a breeze through my forest of disease
Seprated by miles of time but yet your still feeling the same
Like a stream down a mountain side, the memories never fall still
...
