Daniel Richards Poems

I used to wish to wish for a window
To see birds, trees and sky.
...

I’ve been traveling, for far to long
I’ve been a wanderer, with just one song
Out here, in the wilderness
I’m lost so far from home, as far
...

Looking up from under the legs
Hidden by the table top
What I see is a half world
A world with half a view and with half the pain
...

Yes it’s true, at this time
I am a young man but only my body
For I am much older in the mind
And too my body I can say good bye
...

A great shadow lies over this man,
With great sadness his tears turn upwards to a leaden sky
A sweet smell of great sorrows flow from this man
With the pain his spine shivers as he dreams, of green fields and rivers
...

I’m in serious need
I feel totally lost
And if I’m asking for help
It’s only because, deep inside of me
...

Why was I left alone, burned and broken?
While my time was washing passed,
I could only stand by my window watching
Where was I, as the rains fell down dark and slow?
...

Here comes that same old aperitif,
Speeding mind now racing, with a whisky smiling back implicitly
Nodding in agreement to my disparity, spilling fluently one glass or three
...

I will never hide again
I will never stop till I reach the end
I would walk the oceans floor
Turning my eyes to trumpets that applaud
...

How many wrecks does it take
How many broken necks will snap
How many bones will break, before you leave sober from the bar…?
...
