Daniel Richards Poems

He was standing at the crossroads
With a map drawn on his hand
A life’s worth of pain wrapped inside him
That no one cared to understand
...

Can i wake with the morning dew?
A simple but no- fulfilling replacement of you
I close my eyes and kiss you
The air between my lips and the memory you here
...

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
...
