Johan Poet Poem
There, to the nearby oak looms a stagnant figure
yet, timelessly afar, lorn.
Beware the ulterior pond!
I tasted the water, wherein you bathed in the dawn
and the taste of that water, evoked a sudden williwaw
I gently drank this nepenthe, which I did not own
but now, I yen to withdraw this burden
utterly lies in this bosom
soon annihilate
the wrath of my demon.

Johan Poet Poem
Teardrops in my palms
Shapeless, bitter emotions
I tried relentlessly to caress
The sour taste, warm touch
Burns my flesh.

Johan Poet Poem
Is my breath
upon your list
Is my thought
thoughts I’ve made for you
Is the desire
eternal flame burning in me
Is the touch
forlorn hope, lament for the beauty
Is the lull
footloose and fancy – free lies in the garden
Is the wholeness
ultimate high, lay it up in lavender.

Johan Poet Poem
You came into this world with such a tendresse,
when I held you, my arms became your anchor, now,
is the heartbeat that paddles you away from my coast
a lifetime journey, a dreamer duelist to grow.

Johan Poet Poem
A candle left
lighting through the dark,
lighting in our land, dearly it mourns you.
A candle left
as it lies by your body, seduced by your ode
futile to tame it's light
solid, illumes the crossed fingers
entwined.
