May Just Find Me Time Poem by Daniel Richards

May just find me time

Things had simply become
Too messy misshaped and awry
I had to keep up the pace and run
I couldn’t move slow and pushed aside
Night time skies,
A seldom place of pace which
Just kept coming closer
My mind was a mountain
Watered down emotions washing to the sea

I had no need to breath
I was lost and I explored,
Bridges behind me on fire
I found cities under the sea
Igniting desire
Perhaps I never have to leave
I don’t move in slow motions
Thoughts are exploding large doses

Imbedded in my chest I feel war
White lies and truth have come
Dark tides and muddy waters
Are what I have to give
From my beating heart,
Bare witness to the unrecognized
My eyes burn like cannons from the dark
Cannons from the dark

The stars shouldn’t shine
I don’t exist outside this place
I no I cannot change this mind of mine
I have to forget and live paralyzed
I have drawn lines and lines and
Let me cross every one I etched

I have no need to breath
In my catacombs under the sea
If I want me I don’t know
I could close or open the door
But I can’t tell me which way to go
But if the stars should shine
This eternal dark night
May just find me time
