Matthew Collins Poems

How could it be
That the woman I once knew
Is alive
Yet I am dead
...

You stand there
On your ivory tower
Looking upon me
With a hating glower
...

I am great
I twist and turn
I fall then splash
And toss and churn
...

A long road
the path that you tread
all walk it but none may know it
...

Fears lurk
fears hide
fears are imagined
...

What does it mean to have a heart, The vessel for the soul
What does it mean to love a heart, to see and hold so near
What does it mean to know a heart, to fix and break and mold
What exactly is a heart, a tool a hole a tear
...

Hold me close my love
For I know not what tomorrow brings

Treasure me dearly my love
...

As the wind falls from the harrowing sky,
So too does the graceful swallow fly.
With the drop of the Fall rains and snows,
flows the wind of the tranquil forest meadows,
...
