Matthew English Poems

As you disappear into the distance I can’t help but close my eyes,
as you dissipate into the wind, the same current that blows the tears from my face
I reach into the distance; that grows larger every second that goes by,
evaporating into the mist that clouds over our fate.
...

Can I kiss you on the lips
Can I feel you from the hips.
Can I peel off all your clothes
Can I touch you from your head to your toes.
...

Is gender the question,
For what does it matter?
To love is of spirit and mind, not
of petty labels set by the creator
...

If books are the source of all knowledge,
poetry the source of all passionate verse,
art the depiction of ones naked soul,
theatre the production of a mans sin,
...

Fragility is;
the smash of a glass,
a fallen vase,
the collision of two cars,

To my dearest Cathie,
why do i write? for what purpose is this writing to you? i write before i’ve even decided whether i’ll even send it to you. Maybe this is just like a diary entry; where i can store all my emotions and feelings. Maybe it makes this all so much more real; or just amplifies the torment i feel every living day i can’t be with you because I’m scared and well, because you’re too good for me.

In life i just want to make people happy, not because they’re upset with me, just want everyone to be happy- that’s how everyone should be.. just to believe there is someone there for them, always, through thick and thin to care and belief that they’re beautiful inside and out. Everyone possesses beauty, beauty of a unique mind and soul; unique features and perks- even if they can’t see them themselves.
But, this is a paradox.
What is my real reason for doing this.
Am i happy? … i should be.
...

One universe, one planet, on country we share.
One language we speak between our nation, we share.
Its absurd, how in one nation we live so far apart- two worlds.
I speak one, you speak the other- split in two.
...

Tick, tick, tick,
the sound of convention-
the ticking of a clock as time
passes by, second by second.
...

No matter where i am, you were a piece of me.
What i do, you were there for me.
The mistakes i make, you supported me.
But now i’m here,
