Malachi Johnson Poems

Why Do I Love You?

Is it because you're something new to my eyes
Is it because you're the reason why I smile
...

Who is this?

This is a man whom knowledge is great
This is a man who done much wrong, but has seen the light
...

I See.....

When you hold him do love it?
I see but don't believe
...

A place where I am free
A place where there is peace
A place that can be changed by me
A place where I can't seem to be
...

Never late
Seen just as much as I have
Never spoken a word to me, but I know you're there with me
...

Apprehend what you want to apprehend
Observe what you want to observe
In reality
With all honesty you don't really actually know me
...

Why won't you wait
Why were you even thought about
Never thought about me, but everyone thinks of you
...

She just wants time spent with you
So by her plenty of watches
She said time fly's when you're together
So throw the watches into the sky
...

You saved me in the nick of time
Came from the most thinnest air
Gave this vessel a new sign of hope
...

I love her but she doesn't know it
It been four long hard years
But she doesn't know

Her smile is as lovely as her Ora
...
