Matthew Holloway Poems

Let me be
Leave me here
Brooding over a typewriter
Half drunk clutching
...

Beauty what is it
We all agree and disagree
To varying extents
For some its the body
...

Their eyes met across the carriage
As they waited for the train to depart
The hustle of people passing by
Looking for seats or raising luggage
...

Soft the morning dew
A kiss upon the earth
Gently greets the morning
Illuminated by the sun
...

May the light stay on
And the signal strong
May the web be smooth
And buffering free
...

He returned to that place
The beginning of journeys
A start point often visited
Now changed by a look
...

The poetry books on the shelf
Feature all the poets I've known
Keats, Shelly, Bukowski, Shakespeare
Sexton, Byron, Plath, Neruda
...

It was her picture
Perfectly captured
Caught me off guard
Took over my mind, soul
...

The world turns
We stay still
Watching on
As life passes us by
...
