Levi Johnson Poem
I am the frightened toddler running from the demons
that I made up in my head.
I am the dark shadow of a missing character
that is tricking the deathbed.
I turn the corner of poverty into emptiness
that a step-child feels with dread.
I am the window of a mind lost in seeking
for the answer to mankind.
I am the visions of future social missions
for the chronically disinclined.
I am the memory of passing dire ships
for cargos that malign.
I am the birth of a day without sun
and a mother’s voice of guns.
I am the tainted trunk of a winter’s tree
that the midnight shuns.
I am Frankenstein with scissors of emotions
until I love someone.
Thanks for feedback.

Levi Johnson Poem
WEATHERED FACES
Stone face tower
Scarred mapped neck
Mammoth shoulders of steel
Orange jumpsuit in check
Weathered face of storms
Leather brows define
Burning eyes intently staring
Pupils gorging mine
Distrustfully melts himself
Onto a metal chair
Iron door crashing closed
Vibrates my bones to beware
Now its just the tower and I
Boxed in a windowless cell
Married for an hour
As I try to soothe his hell
Knowing that he’s murdered
Many different times
Sends the hair on my neck
I fly with verbal chimes
No excuses he proclaims
I've done all they say
Puffing his chest out
I can't forget whom I turned grey
Congratulations I do say
You're doing insightfully well
You've integrated your behavior
And aligned it right with hell

Levi Johnson Poem
Solo flight of being
Thoughtless future dreaming
Youthful selfish leanings
Naked upon life's rock
Acute awareness of nothingness
Reacting to emotive aftershocks
Instinct's organic aspiration
Epiphany of pedigree
Exalt the next generation
Miraculous child unfolds
Gifting precocious flair
Majestic miracle you mould
Fringes of soul are reached
Contour of love explodes
To adore and heal and teach
Keener morph of meaning
Hallmark hearts of harmony
Fused together, dance forever
Father esteemed identity
Curve of earthly heaven
Defining dauntless destiny

Levi Johnson Poem
Hearts of homeless shadows abound
Dreaming in doorways without a sound
Forever teasing through tainted trash
Panhandle for bleeding hearts clash
I willfully ignored them all the time
I now examine their faces’ every line
And delve deeply into their ebony eyes
Curious why wonder wouldn’t rise
If hate or hostility is not their host
If embarrassed enough to act a ghost
I ask if I can make their day
With funds that fancy to startled bouquet
I grew up dissecting city dwellers
My latent luster may stage to stellar
A smile, a thanks, or maybe a caress
For my homeless heart to coalesce

Levi Johnson Poem
The investment industry, gambling in a scuba suit
Interest rate risk, like blowing through a paper flute
Affairs of accounts, replacements for a lonely heart
Billionaire bankers, glean you as financial art
Subordinated debt, you’re an asset that can bond
Dow Jones Average, you’re a mean of illusions spawned
Vested venture risk, your dead poet’s society
Commercial competition, source of your anxiety
Free market futures, to soften your resistance
Reinvested capital gains, to edit your existence
Economic recession, when money goes on a diet
Capital gains taxes, when robbery is the riot
Asset allocation, a future of cherry picking
Bear market declines, the sound of money ticking

Levi Johnson Poem
If you sculpt beyond the self
Terse transitions, ample ambitions
If you think outside the box
Daring dreams, exciting extremes
If you’re aware of all dimensions
Timeless travel, purple unravels

Levi Johnson Poem
PERSONALITY PARTICLES
Self defined by confusion and chaos
So creativity can compass my way
I induce my world to shrink so small
So imagination can swell the day
I ponder and angle my perception
Like a hawk on a slippery wire
I crawl inside my acute attitudes
For saucy seams of dusty desire
I scour my domain for nomad notions
And for heartless people of appeal
I undress their insecurity of being
While rendering their lives surreal
I particle their personalities
And undermine each idle insight
I dissect their screaming demons
To thrill my reader’s delight

Levi Johnson Poem
Leftover Tomorrows
Not just the yin and yang of life
Not just the perplexed and entangled
Not even the esoterically amplified deviations
Just the oxymoron nature of the beast
It’s the fashion of ascending and escaping
Of falling into the voids of the heart
When love transcends into emptiness
Our minds form designs to abstract
To gain wisdom teased from agony
From wakeful weaving of earthly plights
A roller coaster of leftover tomorrows
Inverse our perception of dancing tonight

Levi Johnson Poem
Wake up call dynamo
Aliens inside earth
For longer than we know
Inhabiting to rebirth
Dentures of denial
Dark government's way
Live evidence is viral
Reptilians and little grays
Transport is magnetic
Exceeding speeds of light
Travel through dimensions
Aging is hindsight
Visitors of many species
Rushing to drink the earth
We are discovered news
Of the universe
In exchange for technology
We granted them free reign
Merging agenda revealed
Dancing with butane
Misjudged their intentions
Breeding a hybrid race
Control for the planet
Humanity loosing its place
They seek another abode
A new world order
A threat to decode
To freedom’s divine borders

Levi Johnson Poem
SHAPELESS TIME
Segments of evolving reality
Aging has altered my time
Savor shapeless pieces
Squander nothing behind
History of expiring world
Shock waves rattle your spine
Future of temporal uncertainty
Cyclone sweeping your mind
Distractions rob the senses
Electronics hasten the pace
Capture timeless memories
Prisoners of embrace
Rights of passage of eras
Sand slipping through rhymes
Flow of waning motion
Winter of shapeless times
