Briana Johnson Poems

I don't want you to be perfect, for no one
can ever be. But you were first in line
so I fished you from the sea. Of people
that is, they all looked fine. And elegance
...

Why do we blindly wait for love
when it does not seek us out?
Are we blinder than the one
who can not see?
...

have you forgotten what we had
those long heart talks
flirting on the bus
chilled october walks
...

Papers's tatoo can never be erased
What you've said can always be traced
Reminding us to be careful with words
Like a delinquent's school records
...

Dressed in pink
from day one
I'm not a princess
I'm not the one
...

Tylonol is the remedy of the body
Love is the Tylonol of the heart
But my prescription's run dry
And withdrawal's tearing me apart
...

Slap me with your words
Trample down my pride
Kick my spirits low
I'll rise up with the tide
...

Man is a creature
Creatures are beast
And yet we find beauty
When looked for the least
...

Hours in the bathroom
Brushing tangled hair
Painting unkempt nails
I am almost there
...

Our hearts beat as one
And we envy each other
Me your beauty
And you my wisdom
...
