Best John Lennon Poems

On the day 
that John Lennon died, 
people were just going 
about their business 
as they did every day. 

Mark David Chapman 
was reading 
Catcher In The Rye

 He would have had to 
Imagine there’s no heaven. 

John took the elevator 
down from his room
 at peace with his belief 
that there was 
no hell...

but your words still last.
Across decades, your memory has span, 
and you were above all, a simple man. 

Peace and love is all you said.
For you, a million tears were shed.
Your tragedy was felt worldwide,
your death made the world coincide....

Imagine if he'd lived,
The words he would have sung,
The songs he could have crafted 
Had he not died so young.

Imagine if he'd lived,
If death could be reversed.
Would he still be promoting peace   
Across the universe?

Imagine if he'd lived,
Would people still believe
That he was...

Poets used to call me Lei Strauss.
I’m the most awe-inspiring poet.
But by the way, did you even ask?
Wondering why I wear this mask?
It’s not I’m hiding from a shell,
Trying to stay away from the world.
Just want to feel the other side of me…
Would you get...

We all shine on, 
 he says (nobody hears),
 by the striking light of shots, 
 with golden bullets in our chests,
 in the green eye of a yellow God
 standing still beyond Milton Hayes’
absent eyes. 

 We all shine on
 in borrowed time

about peace and love happiness and hope

Eye candy of literacy
Sit with me under the poet tree
It's colorful leaves with windy wet dreams
Glowing growing holy wise sandy seas
Raining sonnets psalms songs of gold
Beige yesterday, neon now, future silver soul
Of foreign of home
Of saint sinner some other zone
This black leaf is Emily
So dark...
