Hello
What’s your name?
Where you from?
What do you like?
What do you hate?

I see
Tell me your story
I’m curious
So amaze me
You’re so pretty

Come on
Tell me your sign
You know
We got nothing but time
Don’t send me away
My interest is peaked
Make my day

So please
What’s your talent?
What can you do?
There’s got to be something
Maybe name a few?

Well now
I have no idea
Where this will go
I’m an inquiring mind
Wanting to know

Visually you’re pleasing
And my brain is twitching
From your teasing
Tell me what’s on your mind
Baby we got nothing but time
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
I know I haven’t much time
And everything you say I’ll keep in mind
I’ll ponder it on my journey home
Maybe I’ll forget all my woes

My eyes have seen the sun of tomorrow’s dawn
They have seen the witnessed yesterdays rights and wrongs
But for now I am tired so I yawn
My times expired and over drawn

It’s really hard for me to show
And truly express my love
But I promise that it will grow
Baby I know you’re the one

Sweetie there’s no one else above
You shine brighter than the sun

Without you I will die
My whole world will be undone
If I can’t call you mine
The cool hand of death now comes

Honey don’t ever run
You’re the only one I love

Our lives are intertwined
You’re not just anyone
The missing piece I had to find
Can you see where I’’m coming from

Honey don’t ever run
There's no one else above
Sweetie you’re brighter than the sun
You’re the only one I love
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
It’s true that time has shown
All the things that I didn’t know
Everything from before
Time has really shown

Time has been kind to me
Making it all easier to see
I’m happy just to be
Times been so kind to me

It's been a long while since then
It’s been a long while since high school
I can’t remember what happened there
Not how or why or who

It’s true that time has shown
Which path I’m going
In what direction I’ve been thrown
It’s true that time has shown

It's true love is blind
Any girl that I will find
I swear I’ll make her mine
It’s true that love is blind

It’s been a long while since those day
It’s been a long while since I met you
So many fond memories
So many recollections to look through

I read the time on my phone
In my basement all alone
In a different time zone
Time for you to come back home

It takes a while for me
It takes a while to get used to
All these changed
But I know, yes I know
What I was do
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
Just don’t leave me
The winds take me
And then throw me
Just take my hand

Whipping blow, wind blows
Trust me I know
Waiting for it to come back again
Whipping blow, wind blows
Waiting for a fair weather friend
Trust me he knows

Just don’t leave me
You can hear me
I’m falling apart, pieces at a time
You’re the one in trouble, if I ask you; you’ll say your fine

Just don’t leave me
The winds take me
And then throw me
Just take my hand

I’m falling apart, pieces at a time
You’re the one in trouble, if I ask you; you’ll say your fine

Whipping blow, wind blows
Trust me I know
Waiting for it to come back again
Whipping blow, wind blows
Waiting for a fair weather friend
Trust me he already knows

Lectures by the river side
My my, my poor unfocused mind
Lost in the summer sun
Why, why do you run

Falling falling
Dynamic falling but into what and where

Too big to small
It’s locked
Flood the door

Weather the storm
3 seagulls
And ones extinct
Yelping from the ocean floor

Nautical and aviated creatures
Spinning, singing
Joining the jig
Go by the prophecy

Getting drowned
Getting dry
The rodent
Is out of time
The twins

honking paradox
stories missing their plots
lungs give out
as you give in

how do you do
that’s manners
pudding, pudding
who’s got the pudding?

tales of greed and trade
tales of gluttony and shame
fabrications of a hard days work
cabbages and kings

take a walk
we’ll share a talk
follow follow
into the dark

a loaf of bread
to bide his time
while I devour
you are mine
weep for you
oh I could sing
broken promises
of cabbages and kings

oh Mary Ann
she isn’t home
but she would be
but she can't

the gloves are lost
as she grows large
cant believe shes back again

the lizard
slithers down the chimney
shrieks in fear of her size

smoke the monster out
toast the *******
spark the fuse
so misunderstood

back to small
it still comes
the flower bed
over run

roses daises daffodils
an astonishing scheme of bright colors

tulips joining the 4 part harmony
in the golden afternoon
music to my ears
growing dying seconds and years

morning glories and butterflies
taking up my time
but I don’t mind
ill sit and smile

no pedals
no stem
no seeds
I’m a common ****

sit and relax
vowels and syntax
Smokey interrogation
caterpillars transformation

I see what grace meant
Looking back on it again

I’m three inches high
Now goodbye

One bight can only take you so far
The consumption
Of a mushroom
And its spores

Now that’s right
But what is left
No where to go
But some where to get…to

Striped and smiling feline
Seems like he’s hiding something
Knows something
I don’t

Points me in all directions
For no way is bad
But every which way
Is surely mad

364 days that aren’t mine
But I"ll cherish them like they are
But why
Because I can

A loon, a hare and a rat
Teapots and party hats

Blowing the candles out
Making your wish come true
Feed your head it’s the thing to do

I never got to sip my tea
What a pity
Speak in riddles
Tease in rhymes

A few tears here
A realization there
Do I ignore
Or continue to care
The roses are faux
So that she wont know
Oh the color red
Spilled blood of the dead

A place where they hail a crown
A place where heads roll around
A nonsensical monarchy
In a vast world of anarchy

Of with my head
Put me on trial
So ill be dead
In awhile, good

Wake up
Wake up
Nothing but a dream
Yes yes but what could it mean

Day dream of silliness
A place where somethings amiss
I dare not go back again
Gaze through the looking glass
To see the wonderland
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
I think the clock is off now
Conversations getting soft now

Thank you for talking to me
Why did you I don’t know
I got nowhere to be
Got nowhere to go

I could sit all day
At this table
All alone
Looking at you
Ill leaving in awhile baby
Nothing else matters but right now

Your words of hysteria
Verbal cafeteria
Speak of necrophilia
Learning new things
Making my head spin

I could sit all day
At this table
All alone
Looking at you
Ill leaving in awhile baby
Nothing else matters but right now

Your eyes engage me
Your opinions enrage me
Your insults don’t phase me
Let’s just share a laugh
Make these moments last

I could sit all day
At this table
All alone
Looking at you
Ill leaving in awhile baby
Nothing else matters but right now
