Truffles Revisited

Golden box filled with a cryptic desserts

The folded paper to decipher

which chocolate is at

the tip of my tongue

Without that paper

I poke and prod each truffle

looking for the perfect one.

And when I find the one that suits me

I tip my head back and bask the heavens

It’s a laborious search for

that one piece

That one that rests at the tip of

your tongue.

✨A Poem ✨

Walking through mall,

I didn’t look left I didn’t look right

but then there were ships.

Oh the ships.

They weren’t just any ships,

they were the ones for freedom fighting rebels;

the good pirates they’d say.

Even though I really wanted it,

I told myself

I’ll get it next time.

✨A Poem✨

the sun rose and set

while I lost myself in worlds

not so distant from own

Maybe someday I’ll be there

making footprints in the sand

✨A Poem✨

I dipped my hands in soapy water

and sunk into Venus who

whispered all the things

I’d love to hear:

In the middle of it all,

in the dark when I feel alone,

and in the light when I feel lighter than air.

✨A Poem ✨

Inside the human maze

are locked doors and

doors left wide open with

a million different versions of you

that have not yet tasted the sun

They shift and move and play peek a boo

grow and shrink

and turn you sideways

and right side up.

You and only you

hold all the keys to

all those doors.

-Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson

✨A Poem ✨

This heart beats bare against

the wood floor

letting my insides guide me

through the garden

and connects me to something

I can’t name

There’s no answers here

The only reflection is you

Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson

✨A Poem✨

So close

I could feel your heartbeat

but so far

I wouldn’t know

where you are

Include some clues

shine your light

smile toward the sky

so I can find you
