Matthew Holloway Poems

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

Words between words
~
I try and say most things subtle
To slip words between words
...

It seems in my pensive solemn tone
I sit here quietly waiting for death
...

I looked and saw none for me
Not another soul, no company
...

Listen to your song
Singing sweetly true
...

I could not sleep
Then she came back to me
...

Love wont come knocking
~
Love wont come knocking on your door
So everybody seems to say
...

There are things I don’t understand
That I want to ask of you
...

The world is a book
And I its co-writer
...

She was too beautiful to my eye
That scarce I did not see
...
