Pearl L Johns Poems

She walks the street late at night
a lost child without a home
looking for a way out of the darkness.
She had ran away from the life she had before
...

At night when i fall asleep
I let the magic of the night fill me.
As I fall into the arms of slumber
I hop upon the back of my dragonfly
...

For so many years
I have lived my life
In fear.
What would happen if I walked out my front door?
...

Where did you go,
the woman who became a part of my family twenty three years ago.
We were so alike, we enjoyed the same things
shared the same interests.
...

First into my life came the dragonfly.
We were best friends as babes in diapers and still are best friends today.
My dragonfly, you have had more than your share of sorrow over the years.
Yet, you are always the strong one to your family and friends.
...

What right do you have to treat my
child as you now do?
As a babe you would caress his cheek
softly with your gentle fingers
...

On a wild and beautiful night
beneath the lushness of the full moon
and the sparkle of a million stars
my lover and I sail across the water.
...

I wish with all my heart
my soul, my very being.
That I could take your pain away.
I wish I could hold you in my arms
...

Eight long years ago I lost my best friend in the whole world.
My mom, the bravest, kindest woman I have ever known in my life.
You fought so hard against the terrible disese that wracked your body
Until God took you home with him for eternal life.
...

Dear Mike,
I am sending you this letter today,
On the wings of a snow white dove.
I know that you have heard of my passing from this earth.
