Daniel Murphy Poems

A land of milk and honey
Is where I'd like to go

A land full of plenty
...

Vanity you’ve come to know
So much so you’re called a pro.

A high-pitched scream with every pimple
...

Strip away the cloth
Reveal your natural layer.
Bear no man-made garment
Display your skin and hair.
...

Moon light so bright
It follows you all night

Have no fear nor no worry
...

Bursts of orange-yellow kill the darkness
Widened eyes look on as each one roars.
...

The forest floor is where they hide
In their splendid little world.
Tucked away discreetly
Where lays water, leaves and wood.
...

Tallest, strongest, stood there longest.
You watched countless seasons change.

Limbs outstretched for miles around
...

You've seen me at my worst,
You've seen me at my best.
You've seen the stages in between,
You've seen the bloody rest.
...

Fashion statements are all the rage
Though for folk like me it's all a stage

I don't like the falseness
...

I close my eyes.
I start to drowse.
I long to sleep, though nothing helps.
No sheep to count or even cows.
...
