Matthew Holloway Poems

the street lamps pass
in glowing orbs, micro stars
a blur of amber against the night
which almost seems endless
...

What if I never realised
What love actually is
Let slip all the good that came to me
Let go the only love I ever knew
...

it was like being a boxer
facing two opponents
you would face blow after blow
being knocked to the matt
...

The world is in conspiracy
And has been for all time
Each government has an agender
Backed by false science
...

There I lay in your arms
As lovers often do
Eyes locked to eyes
Tender kisses shared
...

If this should be the day I die
Be it by accident, murder or suicide
I'd like my poems to all be read
In the hope they reach someones soul
...

I awake between two and three in the morning
The sound of rain upon the caravan roof
Is almost like the waves upon the shore
Beautifully distracting
...

It is in the tomb of my mind
I write my deepest thoughts
The saddest of lines
Those dark truths we deny
...

Naught it eternal, but the teachings we leave
The memories of others, those stories
The tales of a life once passed away
Still, still remembered beyond that final day
...

We ended 2017 in hope
that the new year will finally be
the we we always waited for
the one where things fell right
...
