Comments about Matthew Holloway
A Kings Wealth
Alone in a stately mansion
With all the trappings of wealth
A king resides here
Within his gilded cage
The empty halls, ghost filled
Where shadows whisper
There are none here
None to keep comfort
None to love
The fire in the hearth
Cackles and spits
Breaking the silence
Which otherwise holds all
The king
For all his possessions
The palatial residence
The antiques and paintings
The cars and jewellery
Is the poorest of all
For this home of grander
Is a prison of his nature
A Pastel Dream
Oh for a kiss would my heart resign
Those pastel sketches I have dreamt
Those same dreams which filled my days
Told of a great love and romance kept
A gallery of portraits I have seen
Pictured my soul became revealed
I saw the beauty of which I desired
Inspired by a greater beauty to life
And all of this I have surveyed
I heard many songs written by Mathew Holloway. Very brief and so smooth. Happy to see such a nice writing. I will read the same in detailed way and will submit my comment on each poem. I like the writing style. An administrator with a vision to mingle with people hide in the poem. You will be noted and your writing will be honored by the public.
A beautiful heart lies within your poems - peace and happiness to you
