Poet Introduction
Hi I'm Quinn and I've been a poet all my life and I hope that as you read my works that they will stimulate you in a way that nothing has before. Happy reading!
In My World
In my world there are many tears
Morning, noon and night
Being alone, so many fears
In the dark and in the light.
Which direction do I take?
A compass I need for my heart
Not knowing which turn to make
From the beginning in which I start.
In my world, it's hard to comprehend
Ideas, thoughts, future decisions
All my own, no one's time to spend
I cannot lean on my own understanding but seeking God is my life's mission.
My plan is to start each day
Trusting in my Lord
Wallowing not on memories of yesterday ...

My Choice
As I looked around the empty room
I felt a peace that was never there before
Memories of little children in their pajamas so dear
Family dinners, Bible teachings, mistletoes above the door
In my mind everything was so clear
Suddenly I heard a voice in my head,
" Don't cry, little child, I told you once, just like before
I will never leave you. I have come to save the world by dying and leaving man's tomb."
Kneeling, I knew my Lord's voice
My eyes could not see Him
But I remember as a little girl, I had made my...

Struggling to Get To Heaven
Some say we are born to die
But I am struggling to get to heaven
I am all that I can be
Mama, Daddy, sister oh my!
I mess up every day
Mood swings, traffic rages, okay "I'm sorry!" Sheesh!
But God knows the good in my heart
Cause, I am struggling to get to heaven today.
The burdens are heavy
I am just trying to be good
It's so hard, the world a Candyland for me
All the temptation, keeps me unbalanced so unsteady.
I sigh as I turn to God's word
I am just like you, struggling to get to heaven
Stay with me,...

The Beholder
I put the ink to the page
My tears, my words all exposed
God knows my heart, the way I feel
In my mind, I am holding back the rage.
The rage of yesterday and today
Moments that have long gone by
I have no control
Nobody will listen to my rant or anything I have to say.
My grief, my worries, burdens that sit on my shoulders
I cannot lift them or get rid
I know only of one
He will forgive and he will listen for he is the beholder.
He carries me down each road
He is my direction ...

The Thunder Roared
The wind blew and the rain fell
Fast and heavy
The thunder roared
She didn't hear it
The lightning cracked loudly
In her dream, she was happy and young
She laughed as she listened to every word
Moving her head to every gesture
As she dreamt, the storm continued without a care
The rain tapped to a musical sound
All was lost to the lady inside of her dream
The dream ended as suddenly as the rain
Slowly, the events fell into place
Her laughter died, her smile went cold
As her tears fell and she began to sob ...

Crazy Train
He stood six foot four when they laid him to rest
His heart was made of pure gold
He had lived life to his best
He was called Crazy Train
From the East to the West
He worked hard, always to get ahead
He was the rock that held his family afloat
He was loved by many
That big oaf of a man
Crazy Train, my Crazy Train
How I miss the love of my life
The man that listened to me
My best friend, my one and only
The man who loved unconditionally
Crazy Train, my Crazy Train.

Beautifully Hers
She owed everything that she was
To the man who lay on the bed
He had walked and even ran to every corner of the world
To give her the desires of her heart
Beautifully created, age and sickness had caused them to part
The grief that she now felt
Each day she leaned on God
Tears were never very far
As they rolled down her pretty face
He had told her that he was hers and she was his
But the world had other ideas of a love so strong
In the end, he was beautifully hers.

That Black Bow Tie
They stood side-by-side
Young and beautiful
Smiling, she held his hand
He beamed, looked down a little shy
Her white dress, long as it trailed behind
He looked oh, so fine in that black bow tie
The music started playing
People gathered to the stand
They stealed a kiss
The man and his bride
As they danced all night
She was his princess
He was so happy, his dreams coming true
With her beside him, in that black bow tie.

Stay with Me
I miss your arms around me and the way you smell. I miss your laughter and your orgasms. Come back to me.
You have added so much value to my life and I want to do the same in yours.
Te Amo, mi amour. Stay with me.
You motivate me. You inspire me to be better than before. Better than ever.
You knock me down and pick me back up. Don't go.
You love me in your own way. Not like the rest. You need my kisses but you don't need me. Please stay.
Come back. Please stay. Dont go. Words to my lover whom I can only dream.
