Daniel Richards Poems

In underneath the lies I crept, and
Found myself in the story tellers inner zone,
He has no face he has no name, because as a group collective
We are all but basically the same,
...

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
...

There goes your mouth sitting in its little wrinkled chair
So suspicious and without any care, you
Laugh at the little speckled dots you call your mind
You’re such a poison lamiae sometimes,
...

There you are again I see,
Taking pills, swallowing your remedy
Stopping those thoughts from running around again,
Up and down, down and up and around again
...

I was just so damned depressed
With a camel like hump, carrying the water of my slump
I took the choice and it was mine to choose
I was reaching out, but hearing me you just couldn’t do
...

I carried on as a wayward one,
Self-destructive head space my life became undone,
But with a weary head and rhythm less chest
I couldn’t cry no more but still miss lead and deceived
...

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,
...

I was a mad machine,
A woman’s most, salacious dream
The best damn handsomely ravishing man
She had, ever seen
...
