Matthew Holloway Poems

Goodbye my love
I have come to let you go
...

I like the way you smile
The light that’s in your eyes
...

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
...

We are not all tall, dark and handsome
Gym goers, professional self groomers
Watching the fashion trends and keeping up
With the nine to five job in the city
...

Watching the roulette wheel spin
Thinking about each possible outcome
Spinning that last coin between your fingers
And considering each win and loss
...
