Love Songs That Fall Apart – A Lyric Poem by Peter S. Quinn

In to its nothing
From the ongoing way
Time in their bluffing
Day by day in gray

Reaching to the outside
Falling from within
As the times glide
Into their own spin

Yesterday is nowhere
Only sweet memory
Turning its threads from here
Setting its course free

Love songs that fall apart
Filling the days found
In its own freshly start
That from nothing is bound

Confused and disarrayed
Abandoned in its tangle crawl
Through the twist masquerade
Before they together fall

Trying much to stay alive
In what I believe to be right
The world is in its contrive
Without and sketch of light

Times in its own command
Brushing its way to trust
Reaching complex understand
In that we thought lost

Yesterday is nowhere
Only sweet memory
Turning its threads from here
Setting its course free

Love songs that fall apart
Filling the days found
In its own freshly start
That from nothing is bound

Confused and disarrayed
Abandoned in its tangle crawl
Through the twist masquerade
Before they together fall

Time is lose on the past
Where stillness is found
Make believe in a cast
New skills that come around

Days now are turning lost
From their young bright glow
Those that got double-crossed
On their approach to go

Nothing can protect now
Those that have vanished to die
Time is their disallow
As tomorrow goes by
