Matthew Holloway Poems

A lonesome whisper
Amid an almost empty room
...

In her silence
~
In her silence she said so much
Yet offered so little to be admired
...

Awaiting inspiration
~
What would I not give for the company of the muse
When poetry fills the air and heart it sings
...

For all the world would say to me
She is beautiful, she is fair and she is kind
...

The stolen heart
~
Someone beautiful stole my heart
Then threw it away
...

There it soared free
In the sky above all lands
...

I would like to sing your heart
I would like to see you beautiful
...

A wounded bird stripped of flight
Upon the ground hopped and sang
...

The day my heart dammed me
~
You asked me to speak a truth
I told you that you were beautiful
...

Dealt into silence
~
I sit and shuffle a deck of cards
Each queen named, a prelude to fate
...
