Let Me Come With You Now Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Let me come with you now
To roads each person knows
Our thoughts crossed somehow
Knowing what dries or flows
Moments past are not there
Nothing in to get more fixed
Only the ways and old stair
Into our lives’ve been mixed

With each our broken feeling
Become true and reliable
Every thought that's misdealing
To your past is now deniable
Inside this many are lost
With their loneliness loaded
Years gone by - dices tossed
And every new rail railroaded

Empty are the future pockets
While the days are moving fast
With their photos in the lockets
Memories and stories to recast
Showing doubtful line or two
That each condition will disclose
Everything’s here to give a clue
Before into the long-ago it goes

Empty are the future pockets
While the days are moving fast
With their photos in the lockets
Memories and stories to recast
Showing doubtful line or two
That each condition will disclose
Everything’s here to give a clue
Before into the long-ago it goes

Inside this many are lost
With their loneliness loaded
Years gone by - dices tossed
And every new rail railroaded

(Inspiration: Leonard Cohen)
