Brian Johnston Poems

So sorry but I'm out again,
My life's passion, to be a friend,
A daunting task that doesn't end.
...

Version 1:

Some writhe in fear before a roller coaster ride,
You would think they just wouldn't get on it.
...

First ‘You and I' then ‘Not That It Matters'
Your versifying leaves even unsung
Souls shell-shocked in naught but rags and tatters
Thieves are brought down alive from their crosses
...

(A Rave By A Poet)

Remember when you were a child?
Adults seemed then to be in control,
...

Speak to me with silent lips
Lest I learn to know your voice,

Touch my hand with fleeting grace
...

If only I could know
What keeps a heart alive,
Or plant a seed to grow
The food to feed a soul,
...

So your name's not Cinderella
And you're fine without a 'fella'
If enlightenment you're set on
(You've no one to blame your fret on) ,
...

The sawdust lay upon the floor
Each speck was well defined.
'Thanks be to trees, ' one said aloud,
'That we are nothing more! '
...

I am driving Dad to his appointment
In a city more than two hours from home
They will spend a month watching behavior,
(We realize that he needs a savior
...

Lass,
Unblemished by submission,
Familiar beyond Miss,
Unshadowed your smile,
...
