    Of Collisions and Clarity
    Remembered in eyes of light and knowledge
    I saw it right before me as it always was
    A reflection of time not yet surrendered
    and memories bright and starkly aglare

    No peace in the brush of soft new lips
    Only wounds not quite healed reopened
    The battle over, a romantic's bane
    Acceptance of refusal burns and soothes

    The lines in my face reflect my sins
    And my disgrace is defined by my pain
    No true warrior I, only her servant
    Only dreams unfold the brilliance and truth

    I will remain captured, forever imprisoned
    Willingly I will slide to the next day
    Enraptured of what could have been
    And what this chance encounter clarified


    James Mathew Simmons

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
