Daniel Richards Poems

The brown substance of solution
Poisoning veins with brain pollution,
Intention on a bench mark
Falling down so you better know its hard
...

My heart is in my mouth,
Frightened by these dreams.
Every night my knife it seems to be
Prying deep into my seams
...

I’m sitting here embracing
The early morning sun
Praying that my iced inside so numb
Thaw before its withdrawing run
...

Before I met you, there was always one thing I couldn’t perceive,
Something for stories and movies to portray, love was just a dream and
Just like miracles I thought it must be make believe, it’s hard to feel something I’d never seen, but now every morning I find faith, when you’re waking up next to me
...

Oh what a night for a dream,
Seemingly, vividly, happily me,
a disguise of apathy
...

Here’s a thought I bring to you
I hope you understand,
What is in my hands?
Walk alone on open empty roads
...

I'm the voice inside my head and I can’t hear,
I’m the bones beneath my skin and yet I’m broke
I’m the tears the refuse to fall,
I’m the one family forgets to call
...

Something so simple, such as a smell
Can bring about happiness, but at the same time hell
Something so simple such as a song
Can make you smile, whilst feeling everything is wrong
...

my best friend my brother

I only ever wanted you to see tomorrow
I only ever wanted to take away your pain,
...

I don’t belong to a broken heart
Or whisper the words of faith departed
I’m in silent stares, but with a mind ignited,
I have No need to scream my voice,
...
