Beside These Autumn Lanes – A Song Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I want to be your friend
Beside these autumn lanes
Along the verses penned
And fare-well leaving cranes
Were yesterdays were born
In longitudes of smiles
And today is rigors torn
Lonesome dimming whiles

I want to hold you near
And touch your feeling inside
The circles around the fear
That the wintry nights abide
I know this feeling too
When heart is upside down
And nothing comes new
Into my lonesome town

The heart of months to come
The distances of the heat
Where the colors are all from
And my moods your roots meet
Come here and be a friend
In diffusing skies afar
Hillsides of emotions transcend
Sometimes to catch a star

I want to hold you near
And touch you feeling inside
The circles around the fear
That the wintry nights abide
Come here to my melody
Sing memories that are gone
Be a friend here with me
Carry this song on and on

Carry this song…
