Daniel Richards Poems

By the roadway, it’s a lonely place
And it’s where I seemed to lose my feet
In the distance, sits a town on a hill
But the sun keeps coming up and going down
...

The magic of the green and blues, a view
Turtle doves in flight in purple night, they flew
Tragic plight a fight, now imagine me its true
...

From runways to roads I’m always travelling alone
My burden is heavy and my heart; as black as coal
An effervescent memory of me, as a rolling row of tumble weed
But am i free, so far from home, so far from home am i free
...

I hate all I see
A feeling, no resist, I’ll be
Here crying, dried out tears,
Just alone with thoughts and fears.
...

I’ve been down so low, for so long now
I no longer know which way to climb
Desecration of my mind & sweat on my brow,
Never stumble onto that I need to find, but wow
...

Too many secrets too many lies
All the world’s umms and ahhs
Frequently flirtatious to those around me
Irresistible they must become, as the air around me is drenched with deceit.
...

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
...

Why am I feeling\living scared all the time
It’s filling all the tired open spaces of my mind
I’m terrified, terrified, terrified
...

We tripped the light fantastic,
It twirled and spun across the sky,
Dusting the starry night with colours,
Colours from every season
...
