Peter S. Quinn Poems

I want to feel what love is,
For I know life grows apart;
A love is not merely a wish,
But feelings growing from heart.
...

Seeking your smile,
In the times ahead;
It's been quite a while,
And many words said.
...

Beneath the nightfall moon,
The autumn's beauty is in;
Approach of winter's dragoon,
Is near to my goose-skin.
...

Allusive river,
Life's colors and fate;
The illusion giver,
Both turning or strait.
...

The sky in my sunrise comes like avowed
With colors in sunshine and shades in dark,
And everything love will give and then spark
To cast on its light and have more endowed;
...

Though sorrow my thoughts are now
All things will turn to be bright,
For I'll climb the mountain somehow
To reach and touch the light.
...

There is a love so tender
With the lips for wishing,
That any who surrender
Need none embellishing;
...

The spirit of the earth, - the summer song
The soul that is blazing like the new dawn,
Into the sky blue far under the yawn
When moods come together after night long;
...

The name of each season - eternity
Like the summers of flowers that come and go,
With luster thus spreading like a wind blow
That lives with the gust - forever so free;
...

All things must past what of day is here born
First it gives pleasure and then it is gone,
Like a glow from dawn's new rising pylon
Light of the day that to dark is forworn;
...
