Peter S. Quinn Poems

This light is a light out
In its flickering caressing flow
Some themes in shadows about
In their way in, to and fro go
...

The faces are different everywhere
Always coming and going
A smile or a sorrow somewhere
Every thought in eyes knowing
...

Stop the wall
Bring to the fall
With peace on earth
And each time's worth
...

Do not pull the trigger
‘Cause I might be much bigger
Than the creation of your thought
That from this gun is brought
...

You and I could go places
With the love we understand
That many situations faces
When it’s here at command
...

I will weigh your love to mine
To let it all come out
Raise all the new glow sunshine
That your heart beat's about
...

These thoughts out of its stillborn time and sails
Of freshness flowing to shake on my soul
The vigor of its blood in living nails
That cannot still remain in wrenching role
...

The wrinkled agates of each new island
That are like shattered stars on the deep sea
In the greatness of the far awakened
That comes to the shore finitely
...

When love comes to give you life
That’s wider than sky and beyond
You need to have feelings to strife
Somewhere for a brain to be bond
...

The fall and thunders of the daybreak’s new
That comes like tongues in shadowed night
And gives new life to morning's fresh dew
To bring back wings in openness and flight
...
