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.
...

Who are you young girl?
The girl who has stolen my son's heart?
I do not know you, but I am curious.
Are you like the hummingbird?
...

His hands were gnarled and misshapen by years of painful arthritis.
But to me his hands were beautiful.
He had been born to a tough life in the year of 1918.
Went through a year bedridden at the age of six
...

A dusty road
Separating your home from mine.
Divided only by a gate.
Two little girls,
...

My dear Ravyn
This will be our twenty fifth year together.
You have been my life for half of my life now.
And no, I don't mean in my life, I mean my life,
...

Just treading water,
Is what I want to answer when they say
How is your day going?
How are you today?
...

The woman lay on her bed of death,
Once so strong,
Her body now so frail.
She knew she didn't have long.
...

Suzan and Henry.
A young man and a young woman.
No longer children
Yet not adults either.
...

Just yesterday you were an imp of a girl
Then I blinked and I turned around
And that little imp of a girl was all grown.
A beautiful woman with children of her own.
...

You never know what will happen when the phone rings.
Will it be great news, like last week when my friend called?
To tell me her cancer is in remission.
Will it just be a telemarketer wanting to sell me something I don’t need?
...

I have a picture on my wall
of a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean.
The sky is a stormy gray.
In the water with the waves crashing upon it
...

The Best Poem Of Pearl L Johns

Out Of The Darkness

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
one where a demon beat her down with his fists
and abused her not only physically but emotionally.
But she has just traded one demon for another,
now the glaze in her eyes shows the spiralling murder to her soul.
The track marks on her arms, the liquid fire in her veins
provide the false strength she needs to do what she
must to survive.
She is a seductress in the night,
night time is her time.
For her the sun doesn't seem to shine.
Where did her childhood go?
Did she ever really have one?
She looks at the skies above
and wishes for an angel from Christ
to come and take her away from this place.
From out of the darkness and into the light.
