Matthew Holloway Poems

Naked
~
Were we all to stand naked
We would see arms, legs, eyes, lips
...

A family left homeless
Starving in the cold
Robbed of all they had
Through no fault of their own
...

The air cold, crisp to the lung
Breath circles skyward bound
...

You crept silently into my dreams
Like a shadow unseen
You made a home in my heart
One which you would never see
...

Jen’s poem
~
Her smile weakens my legs
Laughter brings out my own
...

A blanket thrown over the sky
Stars come out to the night
...

Love or book sales
Which would I choose
Both lifelong ambitions
Both sought after
...

The reflection shattered
Smile lost
Sense of self, likewise
The picture, life, broken
...

My words fall dry upon the tongue
As I thirst for both wine and love
A kiss of both grape and flesh
To quench my eternal longing
...

Were in a year that never began
Days, weeks and months
Seemingly stolen away
Rules and laws brought in
...
