Daniel Nairn Poems

Beauty grabs my eyes and keeps them
Reason shouts, my mind objects to
Liking her, to loving her. I
Let her pass, and wait my time, but
...

One and the Same as-
A lad leaving home for war,
Proud to fight-
Scared to Die
...

future holds invisible
of this and that and all unknown
to us stuck here in present time
where life will coast on rollers no
...

My words mean naught to you whose ear, I know,
Was tickled lightly by some promise made
With fingers crossed behind façade of love
A precedent I strive to stay as far
...

This is it:
This is the end.
I've waited for this—
The final choice.
...

Here am I, I try to help,
Attempt to clear away the mud.
Yet ev'ry movement shovels more
Of precious lives mixed with the muck
...

Someone stop this man from speaking!
Filling me with useless chatter;
Keeping me from truly thinking;
Lying in his cold ideas,
...

They will not rest in peace
Without God's peace.
They cannot be with God
Without Christ's sacrifice.
...

Turn and cry
Hide your face
As the tears flow
Let misery swallow
...

Illie, illie bong zak
Izzy, izzy, gong wak.
Bora koon, bora koon
Walla walla doom don;
...
