Smile in the city
Going through old emails & messages and I came across this poem that I had written about two years ago and completely forgotten about it. I wonder how many exist out there just like this one. Enjoy! Smile in the city today Smile in your Woodsey way The only smile I want to see The one you reserve just for me I'm going to →
True
I've never been sure About anything before Until I met you A light in my sky A twinkle in your eye That sparkle in you A love deep & true! Dan Sheridan (c) 2012
Last Minute Love
Inspired by a story I overheard today! I received a card from you today Felt awkward as I didn't realise you felt this way I made a mad lunchtime dash to Paperchase Butterflies fluttering in my stomach, making my heart race WTF! Face palm moment - the shelves are bare I looked out the window & you were walking right there Smiling at me through the window →
Lust
We are just friends.. Why can't we be lovers? Through our lust we make amends Tell ourselves - no hurt for others! Dan Sheridan (c) 2012
Future Mystery
I've had highs and had lows Happiness seems to come then goes No purpose in life - or clear direction Life learnings are not found in self-reflection Changing the person I want to be Rewriting the plan - starts to fuel the mystery Burning all of my failure & deepest fears Reinvent - remodel - no more tears Dan Sheridan (c) 2011
Wrong
I stood there and watched Feeling cold - no blood rush - numb & blue As you kissed him and shared a new song I thought our love was forever true I was wrong Dan Sheridan (c) 2011
Another Day
Christmas this year is a day like any other Spent away from mother, sister and brother A time to reflect and renew Restart & refresh, find me - without you! Dan Sheridan (c) 2011
Prison
Trapped in my minds prison Reflecting upon the life I was given Time served for foolish regrets Those affected shall never forget Dan Sheridan (c) 2011
Christmas
There will be no midnight mass ceremony There will be no stockings to open & see There will be no you & there will be no me There will be no excitable morning cups of coffee or tea There will be no turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets, veg & cranberry There will be no mince pies & the odd glass of sherry There will be no →
Reality TV
Inspired by a day dream about reality TV when I felt the hairs on the back of my head stand on end when I listened to a beautiful voice. The X-Factor What's your name and how old are you My name is Dan, I'm 32 Why have you come here today I write songs for others to sing Today I'm going to sing my song, my →
Uncertainty
Sometimes life can be uncertain, a lack of clarity arises in some situations, a poem to address the feeling; Uncertainty Doors closed No direction Half empty bed Love is lost Yet lust lingers No clarity An instance of doubt Dan Sheridan (c) 2011
Inspiration comes at weird times
Working on some new material for my next book and decided to share this one with you. I wrote it after a bad dream - oh and it's a sombre piece: Car Crash A brief flash of light Before a desperate struggle to regain control Collision of flesh and bone Shocks to all senses Feelings have gone Limp and unaware Lights flash yellow, red and blue Silence surrounds Dan Sheridan →
New Book – Couplets
Decided to write a new book formed of all the poems I have written over the years that consist of two lines. Couplets is the official name for these two lines of words. So 'Couplets' can be the working title of the book. It's going to be in the format of one of those little books you see on the →
Today I remember (Poem)
The 4th of October every year since 2006 has always been a difficult day for me. It's been four years since my dad left this world and moved on to the next one, and I feel proud to have been his son and I wish that he was around to see everything that has happened in the past few years →
