Brian Johnston Poems

What do you say that we take a break
From all of our old routines,
What would it look like, how would it feel,
Do we even know what that means?
...

A Miss diagnosed tragic ailment,
Life strongly suggesting derailment,
Said, “Dis ease among men
Seems not all due to sin,
...

miss behaved like miss
thus proving all bets are off
butterfly effect
...

For far too long
I was high and dry
Bending stiffly like a skyscraper,
Head and shoulders above it all,
...

What lessons do we really learn in our success,
When, after all, we won it, oh, so brightly
No need to look for luck in victory’s excess
That might deflate our egos even slightly…
...

True, you kissed me but once
And with tears turned away
From a loss we both needed to grieve,
But the years still embrace
...
