The manly ape
Johnny Jan 2023
Cold are the leaves of the tree
I climb to the top
I need that yellow fruit
But not for me.

Wind cutting through my skin
Rain falling down my face
They must not see my pain
Keep the tears within.

I hope I don't fall
No time to stretch
Unless I have the fruit
They will not catch.

Patience
Johnny Sep 2021
Seven days in the week I have to find clever ways to seek peace in my ​heart
while not changing my face because meek is what they see even though there is no trace of a weak piece or part.
Tired of holding back.

Moby

The sea sounds as I try to think
Anger and vengeance
turn my blood into ink
One day we'll come face to face
This letter is for the ultimate debt-collector
Please, deliver
to the white disgrace

Behind the horizon
Nature's clock sets
Waking up sleep

Behind the waves, you better hide
I'll let the anchor of work
Drag me to the deep

Granting you another night.
Captain Ahab's determination is something I can admire.

The power of loss
Johnny Mar 2021
Conquers anger in the name of love
Blurs the line between right and wrong

After a while

Even pain is forced to join
the nostalgic song
Anything to go back

Yellow stars, blue stars, brown

Looking through the window

Are you looking up at me
or are you looking down?

Smiling? Or with a frown?

Are you a distant memory?
Or am I new in town?

Many questions from my end

I will wait for the answers

If it means I can be your friend

The tinman
Johnny Mar 2021
Man of numbers and data
Stuck at zero, wants to be one

I can't paint, I can't build

So I thought

Art is not for me

I calculated away
Trying to find a way
until I realized

Words can speak
the feelings of my weak

I was free.

The tinman found his heart
Through poetry
I never thought art could become part of me, until I realized writing stories was so close to poetry.

Perfect memory
Johnny Feb 2021
I can recall the dates
I can recall the events
I can recall the kisses

Before we went

I remembered nothing.
I was born with an exceptional memory but I had no identity of myself, until I met the love of my life

Determined
Johnny Feb 2021
I am determined.

If I was free
My love would be
Limited because of me.

So I am determined.

Because I can't see
The factors that decide for me
Which means my love
Could potentially be
Infinity

It's the lights that I see.

No.

Is it the sounds that I hear?

No, no.

They say
It's your autism, my dear.
