Audley Johnson Poem
Still holding on to what I’ve lost
Still holding on to what was lost
Trying to move forward
But still the taste of tears scurry form my sight
My vision was clear
Now it’s all haze
Still gave my best
But now still I’m stressed
Holding on now to depress
My heart is sadden by such sudden grieve
My emotion now will never be free
My grasp of your love is tenderly gone
Gone hopefully not permanently still
Still holding on
On holding still

Audley Johnson Poem
In my heart x2
I feel alone
In my heart x2
I'm so down
Just changed your mind and come back now
In my heart
I can't get through
When you're not around
I feel lost
And hope to be found
In my loneliness
I refused to drown
The silence so loud
Even though I can't make a sound
In my heart
Who I am, I'll announce
I might end up failing
But succeeding the only thing that counts
Rise above it all
When the pressure starts to mount
Just waiting on the right to time to pounce
I'm giving it my all
Using every ounce
Real people alone I want to be around
Got to work hard
Life doesn't give you discounts
In my heart x2
I feel alone
I'm my heart x2
I feel down
Just changed your mind and come back now
In my heart
It's a lost and found
The love you have today
It's mine right now
I'm known to have my way
Don't ask me how
To love you every day
I made a vow
Through your love
I reaped what I sowed
Just don't walk away and tell me ciao
I need you in my heart
And my life right now
In my heart x2
I feel alone
In my heart x2
I'm so down
Just change your mind and come back now
In my heart

Audley Johnson Poem
Did you hear?
Hear what?
Around this time
HIS body they could not find
Buried on a Good Friday
Missing body three days’ time
Crucified on a cross
Why?
For your sins and mine
Christ came and HE died for us
All because HE first loved us
Who else would have died for you?
Certainly not me, I would not do
This just showed
How much HE cared
He took the pain
He did not share
So around this time
Reflect and unwind
Christ came
To redeemed mankind

Audley Johnson Poem
Ding…let the battle begin
Dodging these punches in the middle of the ring
Rocking side to side like I’m stoned from a bottle of gin
I’ve lasted enough rounds to take home this win
Float like a butterfly, like a bee I’m going to sting
Words from the greatest, Muhammad Ali the king
Jab…Hook…Cross…Uppercut, I’m giving everything
My opponent is now scared from the thunder that I bring
He’s weary and to my body tried to cling
I’m going for the gold at the bird nest in Beijing
Pow! TKO from one last swing
Going against me is no plaything
Hooray the crowd started chanting!

Audley Johnson Poem
At the break of dawn
My love for you rises like the sun
While each ray of my sunlight slowly touches your skin
Wake up my love, good morning
How are you my darling?
I'm going to brighten up your day
No dark clouds today
In your life I hope to always stay
These humble words I pray
At noon I'll be the centre of your life
Shining down from the sky
Every move you make I'll be there
Like a shadow that's never elsewhere
But even if it rains I'll never go away
I'd evaporate every water along the way
Because I want to be your everything
While I sunkiss your skin
At sunset I'll give you the best view
While my love gently impress you
Gradually by this time you won't see my light no more
But my presence you'll feel for sure
While I put your body into submission
And Continue our nightly repetition
Then it will be good night
Until tomorrow when I rise at sunlight

Audley Johnson Poem
I'm lost and can't find myself
In the midst of the shadows that I dwell
The darkness compliments me so well
Because the tales of the night I won't tell
My footsteps alone walks with me
While the sound of each steps are my only company
The silence of the night offers no symphony
Until an owl could be heard distantly
With the moonlight following me consistently
I try to find my way persistently
A sudden wind blows
Which whispers a subtle innuendo
That hits hard like rocks at my window
If you want to make it out
You'll have to go down south
But in the same direction I go
Despite the way I don't know
Because of the faith in me being bestowed
I shall find my way back home

Audley Johnson Poem
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think about me?
The times we use to be
Spending time you and me
Those walks along the sea
Peace and serenity
The time we thought would never end
Do you remember back then?
The love was strong as it could be
Endless, love poetry
Now it's just an empty space
Meaningless escapades
Nights just aren't the same
The Days are just as lame
Emotions running wild
As sad as the wind that sighs
Will I ever rediscover me?
Is this our destiny?
Lost love can never be found
Only broken wings that have flown

Audley Johnson Poem
The pleasure of love is pain
Love it's so hard to maintain
Being in love is so hard
Living without it is even harder
Love is wonderful thing
Oh what Joy it brings
Love makes us love another
Love breaks the heart of the other
True love never dies
Tell her I love you directly in the eyes
Love they say is blind
True love is hard to find
Just go ahead and love
It’s not a crime
Love doesn't really care
If your vision isn't really clear
It just shoots you in the rear
From an cupid’s arrow
As you grow older your chances will narrow
Whether happiness or sorrow
Love gives you a gamble
To face your tomorrow

Audley Johnson Poem
The black man is to be feared,
Didn't you hear?
That's why I lift my hands in the air,
Don't shoot!
My eyes looking to the sky
Asking God why?
So many black brothers got to die.
Someone, please explain to me, sigh
Designed is the system,
Was never broken
Riots are the voices,
Of the injustice unspoken
It was never okay to take a knee,
During your national anthem,
But it was okay to take a knee;
On my neck
Just so, you could keep me in check.
I can't breathe,
Eric Garner
Now I won't let you sleep,
From all this drama
I can't breathe
George Floyd
Now, all your buildings getting destroyed,
400 years of slavery
Yet I'm still here
The strength of a black man,
Will never disappear.
