Some people are
not your friends,
they are just too
scared to be your
enemy.  Let them
hate,   just   make
sure that they spell
your   name  right,
and don't blame
    people for
disappointing
   you. Blame
   yourself for
  expecting too
       much
   from  them.
                                                                        Jon York  2019

Make sure you always
keep   your   love   life,
your bank  account and
your next move private
realizing that a hungry
stomach,   an   empty
pocket,   and a   broken
heart can teach the best
lessons  in  life and    if
something is wrong, fix
it.   But  train  yourself
not  to   worry.  Worry
                fixes nothing.  
                                                                                             Jon York   2019

Just when
the  
caterpillar
  thought
his world
    was
over, he
became a
butterfly.
      We
  live on
       a
blue planet
     that
   circles
around a
   ball of
fire next to
  the moon
that moves
       the
oceans, and
  you still
     don't
   believe
       in
   miracles?
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

Everything
        you
        can
   imagine
      is real
        and
        your
         only
        limit
          is
       your
      mind
         so
     Dream.
       Plan.
        Do.
    Repeat,
    because  
     mindset
          is
   everything
    and only
     you can
      make
          it
     happen.
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

We are all on our own journey,
seeking  to   find  the  truth,  so
don't   take  things  personal.  I
have  found  that   in  order   to
really grow as a soul , you have
to come to an understanding
that no matter what someone
else has done to you, no matter
who you  wish  them  to   be,
people are who they are. And
the less you expect from them,
the less  you are  can  be  hurt
                                    by them.
And    remember   sometimes
people  try  to expose   what's
wrong    with   you,    because
they can't handle what's  right
                                  about you.
                                                                              Jon York   2019

So what, I don't care
what anyone
thinks or maybe
assumes about
my: relationships,
my health
my *** life,
my happiness,
my security,
my ability to write,and
my strength, - as a man
who survives  whatever
life sends to me,
           because
It's BETTER  than  all  of  
you  think it  is, so much
BETTER.
I'm seventy years old and
really don't care what all
of you so called "friends"  
assume or might think
about me because:
I'm having the time  of my
life and so is she! I say to
all of those who judge me
based on my what my
poetry says
                so what.
                                                           ­                             Jon York   2019

A good
relationship
is  about  two
things:   first
appreciating
the similarities,
   and  second,
   respecting
the differences.
The best kiss
is   the   one
that has been
exchanged
a   thousand
times between
the eyes before
  it   reaches
    the lips
.The best portion
of your life will
   be the small
nameless moments
you spend smiling
with someone
who matters to
        you.                                                                             Jon York   2019

Your eyes sang to my
soul,
your lips kissed my
heart,
your smile captured my
love,
your tender touch
bonded my love for
eternity,
you live in my heart and
head,
for my eyes saw your
beauty.
What else can I say to
make your day?
Have a good day.
                                                                                            Jon York   2019

Your naked
body should only
belong to that
one soul who fell
in love with your
naked soul.
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

From you,
I always need:
one more kiss,
one more hug,
one more touch,
one more - you
know what!
simply,
always more of you.
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

Love is two people
dancing in the kitchen.
I will set your heart
on fire,
and you will never burn
like that again,
except with me.
          Let's dance.
                                                                                           Jon York   2019

     .

Do you know
what would look good on you?
                  Me!
                  I just
                   wanted to be
                   upfront and
                   say that
                   I visually
                   enjoy you.
Let's do some "We shouldn't
be doing this," things."
                                                                              Jon York   2019

Notice the people who made an
effort to stay in your life.
                                                                                 Jon York    2019

I
   crave
    you
    with
       a
  love so
    deep
  that the
   ocean
would be
   jealous,
     and
      as
    your
   curves
  run like
  waves,
      if
    love
   could
     save
     you,
    you
would
   live
forever.                                                                         Jon  York   2019

tell me that they love me
                  and
devour my heart and soul.
                                                                   Jon York   2019

I want to kiss you, taste you
       so bad right now.
                                                            ­                                  Jon York   2019

No one sees what you see,
   even if they see it too.
        She embraced
           the chaos
    as it painted her life
       with purpose
      knowing that the
   heart will  sometimes
                 break,
    to make a better shape
        and she said to me,
          "no one's soul
               is pure,
      we are not here to
            stay clean."
                                                                         Jon York   2019

The human heart always forgives,
                   no matter
               what it is told,
            even when we give
        most of it to another and
                     forget to
                   keep a little
                           for
                     ourselves
                       and it
                won't come easy

                 but it will come.
                                                                                          Jon York   2019

Hearing someone you love
            laughing
                  is
           easily one
                 of
             the best
               things
          on this earth.                                                              Jon York   2019

Stay faithful,
make her feel wanted,
respect her, don't flirt
with others, and make
time for each other,

and maybe we might  just
get this thing off the ground.

And remember, It's a two way street.
                                                                      Jon York   2019

She whispered to
me so sweetly----
"I   don't  need  love
texts from you every
day."

   "Just   smack   me
     on  the  ****   and
    say, "--"I'm glad
     that  ***  is  mine."
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

Collapse into me
just once,
I promise
you'll never have to
fall again.
                                                                                              Jon York   2019

Sometimes
you just need to hear
how much you mean
to someone.                                                                    Jon York   2019

YOU MATTER
   your dreams,
   your storms,
   your words,
   your pain.

We  all   hurt.
Never surrender.
\                                                                             Jon York   2019

I write because I hurt,
I write because
I'd rather not bleed.
                                                                                          Jon York    2019

Learn to use your
emotions to think,
   not think with
  your emotions.
                                                                                              Jon York   2019

I love sarcasm. It's
like punching people in the
   face but with words.
                                                                              Jon York  2019

The magic in this world
seems to work in whispers
and   small   kindnesses.
                                                     ­                                  Jon York   2019

Deep down
you  know   exactly   what
you  are  capable  of.  There
may even be moments where
you get an actual glimpse of
all  the  potential  you  have.
You just have to be willing to
sacrifice the habits, the things,
and   the situations that  are
standing in the way of your
success.
                                                        ­                            Jon York   2019

Don't build a
wall around
   your own
suffering, or it
might devour
you from the
       inside.
                                                                                              Jon York   2019

Do ordinary things with
   extraordinary love.
                                                                                         Jon York   2019

6   months  of   *******    focus   and
alignment can put you 5 years ahead
in life. Don't underestimate the power
of  consistency  and desire.   You have
what it  takes  to become the best that
you can be. Don't ever doubt yourself.
Harness   your  power.  Exceed   your
                     expectations.
                                                                                            Jon York   2019

Touch her in all ways
             non physical.
Give  her  intellectual   *******
      in multiples and allow
temptation to drip from her ears.
Go down on her thoughts
       and taste her perception.
Learn her soul and she will fill
       the void of your filthiest
               imaginations....
   Never start with your hands.
                                                                         Jon York   2019

For a while,  everything ached and then a
little voice inside me said,

"Hey, you have to do something other than
hurt all the time."

And I said,
"I know. I know.  I'm trying."
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

When  you  find
beautiful  depth
with    someone,
nothing else will
  ever  be good
       enough.
Because   you  have
  been awakened
to    the   fact    that
mere moments   in
the     abyss   holds
more intimacy than
years on the surface.
And once you become
    conscious to that,
     there is no going
       back to sleep.
                                                                                                Jon York  2019

We have our own
language,
you and me.
One that doesn't
have a word for
goodbye.
                                                                           Jon York   2019

It's simple really ----
it's mice to just sit alone,
listen to some
music & meditate.
If you look at life carefully,
you soon come to realize
the beauty overshadows
           the flawed.
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

Every  word  has   consequences.  Every
silence too.
                                                                           Jon York   2019

When two people really care
about each other, they always
find a way to make it work.
  No matter how hard it is.
                                                                                 Jon York   2019

Your
      arms are
      wrapped
.      around
           me,
     your head
           on
       my chest,
            my
    warm breath
      caressing
         your
      forehead,
          your
         breath
       warming
       my chest.
           For
         BOTH
             of
            us
         this is
        HOME
      no matter
         where
        this may
              be....                                         ­                          Jon York   2019

All
relationships
         go
     through
        hell,
       REAL
relationships
          get
     through
           it.
                                                                                  Jon York   2019

If you
       really
        love
    someone,
        learn
      to wait.
  Maybe you
      are not
       meant
        to be  
      together
      TODAY,    
           but
        meant
          o be
       together
            in
           the
       FUTURE.
                                                                                        Jon York  2019

I  will   hold  you  close,
        skin on skin,
and   let  our  heartbeats
    have   a  conversation.
                                                                               Jon York   2019

The longer it takes to happen,
   the more you'll appreciate
      it when it does.

I like the name of this ---
   WHEN  IT  DOES
that sounds so positive,
I just want to keep saying
     it over and over.
   WHEN   IT  DOES,
   WHEN   IT  DOE.S
                                                                                      Jon York   2019

Love    isn't   supposed
to be easy. It's suppose
      to be worth it.
                                                                               Jon York   2019

It   was   you,
      it   was   me,
  it was the silence
underneath the stars
   that understood
     my heartbeat
     and its racing.
You told me nothing,
I believed everything,
   in that moment
      I found life
    in that moment
     I found you.
        I promise.
      if you keep
      searching
   for everything
       beautiful
      in the world,

        you will
       eventually
       become it.
      

                                                     ­                               Jon York   2019

I have late
night conversations
with the moon;
he tells me about the sun
and I tell him about you.
                                                                                          Jon York   2019

By choosing
    our path,
   we choose
         our
  destination.
                                                                                            Jon York   2019

I
  spend
    too
   many
   hours
      in
     my
    own
    head
wondering
whether
      I
  spend
   nearly
     as
  many
     in
   your
  pretty
    little
    head.
           ­                                                                 ­                Jon York   2019

Grab  her  ***
and    whisper,

   "All mine."
