Peter S. Quinn Poems

I am a leaf in your hands and your eyes
Morning that comes for a day to believe
In the hours of off thoughts the nights gave
Lonely in their mood and cornered darkness
...

I’ve looked for moments of love
Through air, earth and water waves
Like a caged bird
The scars of my heart have come out
...

The river is in struggle
Because of the sand at the bottom and the pebbles that get in its way
But it shall overcome and flow again free
On its way to the sea
...

Come get some fire inside
Turn on the gleams that hide
Play it now cool
Rule - now - rule!
...

What I can do I can do again
I have a thought in my afterbrain
Roller coaster pain
It's all about a roller coaster pain
...

This enchantment that stays never the same,
The heart is a lonesome match to each play;
Like that of a flickering fire burning flame,
Nothing that distracts it shall be or stay.
...

Wherever I am going,
As times and thoughts go by;
Rising in and knowing,
The futures worth to try.
...

Everybody is going somewhere,
With each night and day;
Futures are here and there,
Along the passion way.
...

I will whisper in the dark,
Play my songs in the park;
Feeling lonely and out of way,
Giving grieves day by day.
...

Take or leave all wishing's gone,
For nothing is really over;
Side by side on life's autobahn,
Each thought is its rover.
...
