What’s within poetry?
It may not be for all to see.

I have been watching people
They are interested in every endeavor
No matter what their behavior
People will always be people

Shown through a mighty disguise
I have seen the meek and weak

What’s wrong?
Why can’t we just love one another and get alone?
Because they are tasteful,
And we learn not to be wasteful, yet fight at home!
Why can’t we just love one another and get alone?
Because we have a seven-year itch,
And they... – by James Vincient Johnson | 1 View added 3 months ago

Your Soul
I live inside every living thing
I’m complicated to explain
I do not feel what your shadow feels

I’m in your thoughts, I’m in your heart
I cause you to dream, I’m in everything
I’m your mate... – by James Vincient Johnson | 1 View added 3 months ago

When Nothing Is Better
You can be bad
And have everything
But when you fall
You fall twice as fast
As if you were good
And had nothing
Is it better to mix things?
And have something
But when you fall
You still fall half as fast
As if... – by James Vincient Johnson | 1 View added 3 months ago

Caught in a Spider’s Web
Flying high in the sky

Even between blades of grass

Simple words mean a lot
Common knowledge conveys
With a simple thank you or thanks

Migrants Beware
It’s often said, God gives you what you don’t understand.
Even if it's Migrants from another faraway land.
