gregory collins Poems

Buried in the mother's lap of a book,
like a violet i once got from an island on the Seine.

I was once in heaven, keeping track
...

You might prefer to pray
like a branch of the willows
with its humanity dying
and getting into fights at the roots
...

I zero in on the stars,
and i hear your coming.

I even probally left Tulip bulbs in your freezer.
...

All i want is your smile from the sail's cheek;
and that teardropp one hears in every hello,
wavers in the mirror love proves useless.
But we kiss and marry and set off for eternity,
...

Now i think
we are all made
to be freed, not free,
and i was thoughtfully put in my shoes,
...

'Have a proud soul and gush irrepressibly between the rocks of life,
dripping down with a balance that has no scale in all the cries of the world'

...

Under the ocean i want to set foot on its land.
But how many more tears would it take
to make a reflecting pool out of my dreams?
...

Every day the sun sets fire to all that i love,
and i do not think time will do you any harm while i am concerned.
Time just a little bit of a daydream when the world comes in desperately breathing,
turning around and around the earth's worst troubles;
...

In your hand i've been looking for my hand
so we can kiss the flowers as they're waking up
bringing forth life for such a short time
it reminds me to always be a poison rather than a cure
...

at nightime, in the bars that never give in to the streets,
i'm jumping in the cracks to get lost,
or until i hear my heartbeat grab my keys,
and like the wind that knows me broken in pieces,
...
