Matthew Holloway Poems

The notebook sits open
Turned to the page of the latest poem
Hastily scribbled in shorthand
Asterisks and brackets make note
...

From the isle she came
Light footed across still waters
Through a mist of mystery
Unto these mortal shores
...

I had a girl
I pushed her away
I betrayed her trust
I lost my forever day
...

As the sun goes down
And the shadows creep in
I am left with a nothingness
No feeling or thought
...

And there I were
Amid the darkest night
As a storm raged
I was beaten by winds
...

Soon I will be but a memory
Gone away from your hands touch
Away from you beautiful eyes
Silent to the air about you
...

A literary story
~
scrap pieces of paper
scribbled words
...

Some flowers don't bloom in this garden
~
All is not as it seems in this garden
whatever the weather of summer
...

Death and taxes
~
They say we are all to know
death and taxes
...

Exit strategy
~
Lets empty the bank account
and walk to the station
...
