Matthew Holloway Poems

Man up they say
You're not supposed to cry
Your supposed to be strong
Shrug it off and just, well get along
...

We used to wait for each episode
Week after week or months between seasons
The storylines and characters
Which kept us gripped, coming back for more
...

A poem to a love I let slip away
It was with careless hands
I held and failed to look after
Blind eyes I turned away my gaze
...

Is there such a thing
as a bad poem
some poems speak to me
inspire me, light me up
...

December begins
A month of festivity
Hope you enjoy it
~
...

It appears I like many others
Have had a choice presented
Between the bar, the book and the church
We choose our own solace
...

I put pen to paper
Rather than knife to wrist
Lines of verse preferred
To pills and whisky
...
