gregory collins Poems

The dark awakens,
connecting with that tender light.
My dreams have given up
trying to recognize you.
...

I have seen people around my head
walking into the sea.
I think that was the day
when we were kids beating on the edge
to hear heaven groan.
...

It is two-thousand and eleven and just like before,
i read the news that the lights had changed.
But i always knew i would die alone;
Afterlife been waiting to give me a taste since feeling lonely is predictable.
...

When the clouds stare at the lights trying to justify,
And the apocalypse is running on faith beneath the covers.
I' ll have your memory dancing as dancers go;
No alibis or hard times that will drain you.
...

To fall in love
I can hardly bring myself to say.
As though those far away hills
Always seem to be racing toward an end.
...

War is like a fifth wheel
on a thin line
At a fork in the road
...

'I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity'
E. A. Poe

I have sung to you
...

I want to be the fire that tests gold.
When noon is on the flowers,
and the sun floats along shaping what it wills
...

to believe anything in spite of evidence
you will find you will be fooled
...

I really want you
to rip my heart out again
so i can take a look at it
and see what made me
...
