Darryn John Murphy Poems

Long have I waited beside still waters
Withered by the years, the silent tears
Fall like gentle raindrops amid the summer sun
Hollowed how am I humbled
...

Mystic beneath the moonlight beckons
Forever humbled at my feet
The shooting star that rises in the heavens
To only fall upon the light of flint and bone
...

An endless ocean shimmers out beyond the bay
Is there light over the horizon
Beneath the pale moonlit skies tonight?
...

If I sparked the fire that burns
Deep within my heart and soul
Would the reflection of my light
Glisten in my eyes
...

The moon was high
And the stars shone bright
Was there hope hidden in the night
As I watched the stars glisten in the light
...

Even when time ticks slowly by
The scent of freshly brewed coffee fills the room
Beyond thy window Venus glistens in the morning shy
Beneath the silent silhouette of a silver moon
...

Nether speaks beside the flame to honour thee in thy good name
My lord why have you forsaken me upon this night within this hour
No fight to bare, amidst the mist in thy good name
Power is and thy feelings grow beside this tower
...

Sketching roughly my own persona
Is it true that I am a just loner
Scruffy hair yet gentle stare
Never had such an interest in the flair
...

Aimlessly I walk among these endless streets
Scraping the dust from upon my feet
Beneath the shadow of flint and stone
For in the world I walk alone
...

Mercy me and misery be
Mortal thoughts betray me
Thou hand is shaking in front of thee
Maybe in this hour, I sense your plea
...
