Peter S. Quinn Poems

Rise up a new dawn
That sleeps under night's gown
Before day comes bright and clear
And brushes away darkness fear
...

Secretive in their ways
Love songs that come and go
Like stars before the days
Those only at nights show
...

You are my yesterday's passing love song
With every rhythm that feels parting on
Flowers of the past that now there belong
Where feelings are like rivers never done
...

In a substratum of heart shape glasses
The mountains and valleys of winter's night
Their moodiness of dark that now's in flight
Rushes with hillsides and morasses
...

These days are now blackouts for the spirit
One by one to the abyss they are gone
Cast into deep and dark winter's mood pit
That seems never to infinities done
...

Dark dreams in my daylight
Sunrise of the night coming in
Only stars loneliness bright
Twilight's in twinkling spin
...

Take the stand for me
Make my purpose come through
Everything is to be free
And it's so much up to you
...

You make me feel alright
Come slowly to be
And rush me through this light
Forever to again see
...

Come here like time's beat
With the going that goes on
Let’s move your dancing feet
That keeps time never done
...

Thousand dots of life
Like fire lights in dark
On to each fulfillment strife
Till they glow and spark
...
