Matthew Holloway Poems

Resolute
~
steady and unchanging
this is a heart of love
...

The nature of her beauty
~
her pale soft skin
pure like untouched fields of snow
...

A game of chance and double bluff
Deception relies upon the blink of an eye
...

Winter has visited our garden my love
Trees have been stripped bare and flowers wilt
...

Jealousy
~
Jealousy my embittered mistress
Your visits bring nothing but regret
...

I packed my heart into a suitcase
Took a flight to somewhere else
...

The mortality of a horizon
~
What clouds roll on the horizon
Endless beyond the eye
...

Sunday morning skies
~
Laying in just after waking
Covers pulled tight, no chance of moving
...

The credits rolled
A register of names
Now consigned to memory
The final moments
Passed into history
...

Happy, finally
~
Happy, finally
Now in a better situation
...
