About Me

So incase anybody was wondering,
Being nosey or something
I guess I'll follow the opuss craze
And reveal more about me today...

I'm just your average white van man
Working a mundane 9-5 job, again
Having had more jobs than I care to remember
I just get bored real easily: more so now than ever

I have always been quite mature for my years
And like to confront all my fears
At school I had a full grown beard
Was quite popular and not seen as too weird

I come from a broken family
Always exchanging houses and moving
In and around South East London
Then 5yrs in Kent for secondary school
Left at 14 with no gcse's and still have sod all

Prefer to learn things my own way
Had a "dream job" with really good pay
Self taught in I.T and websites
Told them to shove it cos it just wasn't right
Too much red tape and stuck up twats
Freedom and travel is now where I'm at

I have always been a deep thinker
Creative and a great listener
I have been pronounced clinically dead 3 times
Still I'm alive and doing this rhyme

I have a BIG passion for music
I can't play but love to listen to it
I love all music especially the 60's
Rock, indie, rap, alternative it's all groovy

If I set my mind on something
I give it 100% or nothing
Sagittarius zodiac sign
With a very open mind

I enjoy peace and quiet
Honesty - if it's right
I have an opinion on everything
I'm slightly competitive but know when to give in
I don't really speak too much
When I do it's usually enough
And comes with honesty, truth and love

I'm a little bit crazy
I'm a man so guess I'm lazy
I can sleep through Armageddon
I'm always late for everything

I'm a lover not a fighter
But I will fight my corner
I like to help others in need
Sacrifice myself if need be
Others's welfare means more to me
If others are suffering it makes my heart bleed

Love/hate is the only love I have known
12yrs of it but I left to be on my own
I don't want to whinge and moan
Life has its up and it's downs
Sometimes it shakes us around
How we bounce back it what defines us all
Some fall, some stand tall, some need a push or a pull

Oh yeah I'm 34yrs young
I like to have a laugh and have fun
I need to travel the world and fast
Maybe find my soulmate first?
Europe in a camper type van
Hit the roads with no real plans

So that's me I suppose
In case you don't know
My name is Richard
I'd like to meet you all if I could
An Opuss convention would be really good
Maybe all together in a nut house
I'll be the one flirting with the nurse
Just incase you haven't already heard
I'm a big tease and like to flirt ;-)

And so here we are...... Rise up into the sky Come now, you can try. Fields of golden eggs - unploughed Fruits in luscious bloom - devour The feasts of your mind - they shine.

Starting Over

I’m trying to find something to base my life upon, Something in this strange world that goes on and on. As the years go by and time fades away, What used to be "good days" are now filled with dismay.

I always thought life would be just as I wanted it for me. I just let it happen without a plan and I would proceed as I began.

To Be Yours.

I don't know where I come from, I don't know where I'll go. I don't know when the sun will come, When the winds lunge to and fro. I don't know how to tell your tale, I truly wish I could.

Revealed

For @damoambrose and @Stablish. I was once laid, huddled in my wings all black,. Wrapped up tight, no gentle light at my back,. Scribbles hidden in a notebook all tied up,.

@Cam Awww bless you baby and thank you Mwah xxx

@smellyfingers tis very true tho, n before I melt back into the shadows I'd just like to add that for a person to have left school gcse-less with dyslexia and never written a poem pre-opuss in years to produce the things you do and be as open and sincere, is indeed a talent in itself! You are an exceptionally good influence particularly to some of the younger opussies and inspirational. Having said that, I'm off again! Haha! Take care stinka 😜 x
