Danny Ballan Poems

Come to me where the mountain meets the shore,
And I will leave my ship and abandon my sailors.
Come to me when all is ambiguous and nothing is certain;
For not the bare rocks for the waves had a date,
...

I wandered once and there I smiled
When to my face, smiled death.
And the only reason I might for have cried
Was to know it was never to come.
...

She told me once that she would stay.
She told me the tides were low,
And the waves had slept away.
She told me our life would be slow;
...

When love comes young;
When the earth is bloom.
And the holy hymns are sung-
One, for himself, has no more room
...

No more should thy arrows pierce my heart;
No more shall a new day have no start;
No more bangs on the head for fading bloom;
No more shadows in the darkness of my room.
...

I've missed you.
Since the last time I do regret;
Since once you did really forget,
I've missed you.
...

Why are you so sadly walking away?
Your tears wet your cheeks and frown;
Your brows wishing it were your last day.
Then all the lies came with a promise and a gown;
...

I might have never told you
That the roses smell much better,
And all the lies sound so true;
With you before the day is through,
...

You opened the door;
You were ready to leave.
Here! Take your stuff
Along with all the tears
...

Tick tuck sounds as the last hour goes
Marking the slow passage of time.
Seek what the last hour bestows;
See if this last peak you can climb.
...
