Grab  her  ***
and    whisper,

   "All mine."
                                                                                            Jon York   2019

I  traveled  the  world,
experienced adventures,
overcame obstacles,
transcended dark nights
of the soul just to find
my treasure in your
magical baby blue eyes.

Even  though  the  night
takes my sight, my mind
is still fixed with thoughts
of you and even  while
we  are apart I  can  still
have you  here  with  me.

The reunion of two souls
inseparably  connected
having known each other
from the beginning of time.

Let  my  mind  wrap  its
thoughts around you and
caress everything it can
and let my lips speak as
a kiss.

Let my arms  carry  away
any loneliness, let my eyes
devour all the troubles within
your  sight.

                                                                                               Jon York 2025

We stood face to face staring
at each others tears of joy
because it has been so long
apart wondering what we
have been doing and why
we ever parted. . .

And I said with trembling lips
why did you have to leave me
and you could not feel my pain
and staying together you had
nothing to gain. . .

My mind flashed pictures of
our past together. . .so fast
that I almost forgot. . .you
were standing there as if
someone had made you a dare

And suddenly you were gone
as fast as you came, acting as if
you didn't care, as if you were
still playing your sick little game.
                                          Jon York 2017

Did you know that I know you?
better than you know yourself,
and without doubt, more than
any single other body has ever
known any single other body
in the history of this world or
any other. I know  before  you
know when your heart reaches
out  and  I  know  without  you
requiring  the  assistance  of   a
glance  or  gaze  when  you  are
scared  or  lonely,  or  tired   or  
hungry, or angry or worried, or  
blinded by absolute excitement.

Did you know I am  yours?  Did
you  know  that  I will always be
yours?  Did  you know  I waited
my  entire  life  to  have  you  be
mine again?  Did  you?

I would do any, whatever and all
things  as   long  as  doing  them
meant  doing  them   with   you.

I  love  us  for  the  way  our  eyes
make  love  to  each  others   souls.

The right
                poem
                 finds
                  us

It just occurred
                           to me
                     that many
                 people are afraid
                          to heal
                    because their
                           entire
              identity is centered
                         around
                  the  trauma  they
                    experienced.

                      They  have
                          no  idea
                             who
                  they are outside
                              of
                             that
                      trauma and
                              that
                         unknown
                            can be
                         terrifying.

                            If you
                        can't  bare
                              fear,
                        do it scared.

She wants to be loved,
she wants to feel needed,

but most of all
she wants that feeling
I gave her that first time,

when I reacted that she
was more than I
had ever dreamt of,
that first time alone with her,
the first time,

when in that moment
I made her forget
everything. . .  

She wants to be desired
by me
EVERYDAY so I undress
her slowly
and let my hands
touch her in places where
my kisses
will soon follow.
                                                                                            Jon York   2020

I
    love  that
      sound
   you  make
      when  
   my mouth
       finds
  all the places
     on your
       neck

         fits

Somehow,  
          we  all  forgot  
     that  we  aren't  here
          for very long.  

                We've
   become time - machines,
          never living
     in  the  moment. And
          now we can't
     remember how to love
             what's right
          in  front  of   us.

               Every
         river  leads  to
           the ocean.
    Stars do burn out.
                So yes,
         everything ends.

             But do you
      want to know a secret ?
            Everything
-- and I mean everything
     -- BEGINS AGAIN.
               Maybe
         we're getting it
             all wrong,
       and  it's  the  stars
             who are
       wishing on us.
                                                                                Jon York   2019

If there's even
        a  slight  chance  at  getting
                 something or that
          someone that will make you
                  happy, risk it.
              Life  is  too  short  and
                happines­s too rare.

                   Sometimes you
            have to stop being scared
                 and just go for it.
              Either it will work out,
                        or  it  won't.
                         That's life.
                   Everything's a risk.
                         Not doing
                   anything  is  a  risk.
                        It's up to you.

               I   smile   a  little  bit  more
                    after talking to her
                          and I think
                 that's  what  made  me  
                       realize I was in
          love with her and without even
                      trying  she  makes
                 my life better and she is
                         the light finally
                            leading me
                                 home
                                 to her,  
                     for she is my home.

Not everyday is a good day, live
                           anyway.
                           Not all those you love will love you back,
                           love anyway.
                           Not everyone will tell you the truth,
                           be honest anyway.
                           Not all deals are fair, play fair
                           anyway.
                           Not all lovers will be trustworthy and true
                           to you, be true to them
                           anyway.

It is always important to know when something has reached
its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it;  what matters is to leave in the
past those moments in life that are over and a simple truth?
realize we'll never have today again.

In this life a steady love and a place to call home are more
precious than all earthly possessions and wealth in the world
and we have to realize a happy soul is the best shield for a
cruel world while never loving  Nostalgia more than you
love today.

Never apologize for having a heart as big as the ocean to the
people who would rather stay puddles and accept the fact
that some people didn't intend to let you down. Their best is
just less than you expected while knowing that far too many
people are just looking for the right person, instead of trying
to be the right person.
                                                         ­                            Jon York  2018

The best thing
            about  memories  is
                 making  them.
                  Always kiss
                me   goodnight.

                    My heart is
               and  always  will
                     be yours.

             Happiness can be
       found even in the darkest
                of times if one
          only remembers to turn
                    on the light.
           Only  in  darkness  can
               you see the stars.

              You  can't  go  back
                     and change
             the  beginning,  but
      you  can start  where  you  are
             and change  the ending.

                         Live for
                  the moments you
                             can't
                    put into words.
              Trust  the  timing  of
                     ­     your life.
                 Always   believe
                    that  something
                   ­  wonderful is
                        about  to
                          ha­ppen.                                          Jon York   2019

She   put  her  hands  on  either
side of  my  face,  and the  little
room falls away.  I  have  never  
gotten  so  lost in  a kiss before,
and then the space between us
explodes.

My heart  keeps missing  beats
and my  hands  bring her  close  
to   me  and    I  taste  her  and
realize  I  have been  starving
for a  very  long  time.

I have kissed before, but feel
like I am lucky this one didn't
burn me alive.  Maybe it  lasts
a minute and maybe an hour.

All   I  know  is  that  kiss and
how  soft  her skin  is  against  
mine, and  that even if I didn't
know it  until now,  I've  been  
waiting  for  this person forever.

And sometimes the best thing
you can do  is  not  think, not
wonder,  not  imagine,  not
obsess.

Just  breathe,  and  have  faith
that everything will work out
for the best.

Don't
    expect
        to
       see
        a
    change
     if you
      didn't
      make
        one.
   The secret
         of
     change
        is to
   focus all of
  your  energy,
      NOT on
fighting the old,
        but on
    BUILDING
           the
          new.                                                                        Jon York   2019

Never be

      love,
    or how
     quickly
    you fall.
       Love
       fully,
       love
   completely,
       love
    naturally -
and don't ever
    apologize
       for it.
Don't ever be
        sorry
     for loving
  the way your
        heart
      knows.

Just around the corner
is my first love in her
great city that has no
end; the days go by,
the weeks rush on,
and before I know it
a year is gone, and I
never get to see her
face or touch her skin
again, for life is a swift
and terrible race.

She knows that I still
love her and I know
that she still loves me
just as well as in the
days when I rang her
bell and she rang mine,
but we were so much
younger then and the
time has gone by so
fast that is almost a
sin.

And now I am a busy,
tired old man and
tomorrow comes--
and tomorrow goes
and the distance
between us grows
but she is still just
around the corner--
yet miles away but
maybe I will get to
see her, touch her and
hold her once  again
someday.
                          Jon York    2018

Does she scare you
                      a little?  Good
She should make you fear her love,
                     so when she lets you be a part of it,
                             you won't take it so lightly.
She should remind you of the power that beauty brings,
                      that storms reside in her veins, and that
                            she still wants you in the middle of it all.

Do not take this soul for granted, for she is fierce, and
she can take you places that you never thought you could
go; but she is still loving in the midst of it all. Like the calm
rain after a storm, she can bring life.  Learn her and cherish
her, respect her and love her, for she is so much more than
a pretty face, she is a soul on fire.
                                                           ­                                  Jon York   2019

I am your rock,

You are my inspiration,

I am your balance,

You are my support,

I am your wild,

You are my calm,

I am your anchor,

You are my wings.

You're   my favorite

place  to  go  when

my   mind  searches

       for   peace.

I   have   seen   the

best    of  you   and

the   worst   of  you

and  I  choose  both.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves.

No one
  changes unless they
            want to.

Not  if  you  beg  them.
     Not if you shame
               them.
   Not if you use reason,
          emotion, or
      use  tough  love.
There's only one thing
            that makes
      someone  change :
  their  own  realization
         that they need
               to do it.

      And there's only
              one time
         it  will  happen :
  when they decide they're
                ready.

             A  strong
      relationship starts
               with two
        people who are
               ready to
        sacrifice anything
                   for
             each other.                                                          Jon York  2019

              shut me up
                and tell
         me things I don't
           already know
                     and
          make me laugh.

           I don't care
   what she looks like.
        She just needs
to be able to turn me on.
         She will be
            my baby,
         my headache,
            my love,
            my smile,
            my frown,
            my pain,

  It will  feel  so  good

In my history
                 of  education,  the
                         greatest
          teachers I ever experienced
                      were those
                    who  showed
                me  where  to  look,
                       but didn't
                 tell me what to see
                       and what
                  I saw  was people
               who  I  thought  were
           created to be loved and things
                   that I was taught to
              believe,  were created to
                            be used
               had it completely turned
           around, which may be the
                  reason the world
                  is  in  chaos  today,

                       are being loved

Love isn't meant
          to be easy. It doesn't appear
                       on command.
            It  doesn't  let  you  fall  for
         wh­omever  you  like. It  surfaces
          neither at the most opportune
     moment  nor   in the  most  convenient.
            It'll put you face to face with
                      endless obstacles.
           But  in  the  end,  none  of  that
                      will matter, because
         it's how you overcome it's obstacles
                     that define your love.
      But  love  is  ultimately  the  best thing
                 that will ever happen to you.              
                       Every time  I'm
               close to the sea, the oceans,
                    they start to weep,
       wishing  they  were  half  as  wide,
             as my love for you is deep.
                   My eyes saw you,
        but ****, did my soul feel you
               and know that we are in
           each   others   life   for   a   reason,
                 thank you for showing up
There's untamed electricity, coursing through
        your veins, and it shocks me when
  I  kiss  you  but   believe  me, it's   worth
                             the pain.
                 And you never craved
                  attention,  until  you  
                           tasted  mine.
            And I just want to make you
                    the happiest girl  
                 you  have  ever  been

Where have you been hiding my
love,as each day without you will
never come again as I have sought
you for so long that you surely
must feel the pulsing of my endless
longing and I have sought you
since childhood and I care not whose
you were or even whose you are
because the sound of your voice
and your words tell me that you
are mine and that you are waiting.

Till now my life has been but a fools
mission as they mock the madness
of my searching, my work, my
talents are but ashes,my poetry
only unshed tears that flow like
rivers in my desperate search for
you.

I wait in hope and sorrow thinking
and hoping that you will come to
me some tomorrow and connect our
souls just one more time after what
seems like several lifetimes, or is it
all a dream, but you need to know
that I have bravery to spend on pain,
faith to wall up fear, and courage
to fight danger when it comes, but
there is no defense against loneliness,
but my love shall always be because
when I love, I love with my heart,
I love with everything in me, and
I love deeply and you hold my
heart in your hands,so please handle
it with care.

You are my mortal muse, the one
to inspire my heart, move my soul
and take my mind away to
destinations unknown and you
open my eyes to a reality not seen
and you awaken the creativity that
burns inside of me.

Tell me if I untied you

                                    and left

                         and limbs tired.
                                                          ­              from a  dream, a dream

She  could fool  everyone.
                           But not her own heart.

                     She lay back in the warm safety
                 of my arms while my hand between
               her  legs helped  her forget  the  world.  

                          Neck  *******,  ­lip  biting,
                   hands  running,  heavy  breathing,
                              ­      lap grinding.  

                    Couldn't even find my own breath.  

                           I  like  my  lovers  selfish -
                   do  you  know how **** it  is  when
                          someone  only  wants   you?  

                      Kissing  and  cuddling  make  her
               feel loved.  Intense,  naughty and rough ***
                                make her feel wanted.  

                   Her hips moved like waves on the ocean
        undulating wildly as I plunged deep into her waters.
                    She  was  sweet,  wet, and  refreshing.

               I gasped for air as I drowned on her high seas.

                   When two souls fall in love they make
            each other feel like home. Together, they become
                 the remedy for each other's brokenness
                    and heal each other's worlds.

Ever since our first kiss the only sweetness I crave
is the one that comes from your lips and when I
sleep, I dream of you. And when I wake I long to
hold you in my arms. If anything, you  make  me
more  certain that I want to spend  my nights  by
your side and my days with your heart.

When  a  man  loves a  woman  she  becomes  his
weakness. When  a woman truly loves  a man  he
becomes her strength. This is called the exchange
of power and if  a man expects a  woman to be an
Angel in his  life, he  must first create  heaven for
her.

You  truly came  alive when  my touch  ignited a  
fire   on  your skin,  the  heat  engulfed  you and
purged all your conscious thoughts.   Tormented
by   my  tongue,  playing  with  the  edges,    you
squirmed  and  grabbed   my  head,  begging  me
in a hoarse voice:   please. . .
                                            make. . .
                                            me. . .
                                           AHHH    

I  am who I  am  because  of you.   You  are  every
reason,  every  hope, and every  dream  I've ever
had, and  no  matter  what happens  to  us  in the
future,  every  day we  are together is the greatest
day  of  my  life and  you know  ****  well we'd
go crazy without each other.....

After all this time. .

                            Always.
                                                                                         Jon York  2018

My lips  miss  your
lips.

My hands miss the
feel  of  your  skin.

My mouth wants to
do **** things to
your body.

Lets  make out, have
***, cuddle and have
a deep talk.

Then  lets  have  ***
again, go  out  to eat,
then  go  back home,
watch  a  movie  and
have *** again.

If  it  excites  you and
scares you at the same
time, it might be a good
thing to try.                                                                        Jon York   2024

It's a new day and time for love
It's romantic and very clear
and as each moment passes
I long for you to be near.

The early morning clouds
Some are white, and some blue
I look at them in a daze
And dream of being with you.

I picture places in my mind
All  the places that we could be,
Like the ocean, the sand, or mountains
And just having you near me.

We could go to your island
That would be far, far away
with beautiful trees and sand
And we'd stay for more than a day.

We'd spend each of the nights
Holding each other so strong
Each morning together still
And no one to say it is wrong.

All day we'd play and smile
Because we finally got away
It was us forever and ever
It was us for more than a day

Have  eyes  that  see
                           the best,
                a heart that forgives
                        the worst,
                 a  mind  that  forgets
                           the bad,
                 and a soul that never
                        loses faith.

                   Life  is  a  matter
            of  perspective.  There  are
                  many  people  who
                    may know you,
                           but there
                  are  very  few  who
                         understand
                       who  you  are.

                            Some of
                    the best moments
                           are never
                  captured by cameras
                           and are not
                 posted  in  any  social
                    media platform.
            They  are  kept  in  private
                      and cherished
                            together
                   with the best people.

Love arrives again and in its train comes
ecstasies and memories of pleasures from
so long ago but this time around we are  
bold because our love will wash away the
chains of fear that our two souls did hold.

Her shadows in the night bring me much
delight even though she is far away right
now and I wonder will she ever come back
to me and that is the quiz and did I pass
or fail her inspection and I think I know
because she says she loves me so and that
she needs me more than I will ever know.

She comes back after being gone for so long
and her love is still strong and this I knew
all along because I could feel her from far
away saying that we will be together again
some day.

I've been waiting so long for you my love
and come to me you did like a beautiful song
that I have heard so many times before and
I felt you before you arrived and to keep
your love I do strive as our journey together
has begun and it is one that we both have
longed for, for a very long time in the sun.

Her love is so strong and her reasons for taking
so long are many but the past is gone and
together we will be for this long journey into
love as it unfolds for two formerly lost souls
who both had the same goals.

I knew there would come a day when she would
look at me and say that our love has arrived.
                                                        ­                      Jon York    2017

Each day passes by and
I silently cry wishing it
weren't so that she is so
far away, and why does
it has to be that way on
this cold winter day I
just don't know, because
she needs and craves
my warmth so.

In the past we were one
and losing her was very
sad but so many years
later I am glad that we
started again because
again I have found the
one who showed me
how real loving is done.

But as each day passes
by I will cry forever until
she and I reunite for then
I have won the fight and
being with her again will
be such delight and such
a stunning sight to see,
walking hand in hand
laughing with smiling
into the night.

To have someone
understand your mind is
            a different kind of
                            intimacy.

Some
            people
              are
            worth  
           melting
               for.

             Always  
                kiss
                me
           goodnight
                and
             believe
               that
               home
                  is
           wherever
             I'm with
                you.

Realize that true happiness lies within. Waste no
time or effort searching for peace and contentment
and joy in the world outside.

Happiness is not in our circumstances but in
ourselves. It is not something we see or feel
like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.

Give yourself a perfect day. Do what makes you
happiest. Look upon what gives you joy.

Speak to those who warm your heart. Listen to that
which lifts your spirits. Surround yourself with sights
and sounds and people who give you pleasure.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow
to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

The greatest happiness in the world is the conviction
that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, in spite of ourselves.

The three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind are always attained by giving them to someone else.

You steady me and stir me
         all at once.

They laugh
       at  me  because  I'm
different. I laugh at them
         because  they're
            all the same.

               I don't
      blame  people  for
  talking  behind  my  back.
           They have
   obviously  heard  what
              happens
     when you talk ****
          to my face.

              I notice
       everything. I just
       act like I don't.
  People fail to realize that
         I don't forget
   **** they said or did to
          me to, or things
   they wouldn't do for me
      when  I needed help
because there is no expiration
                 date
         for disrespect.

Her  hips  moved like  waves  on the ocean,

Just when

  live on
       a

   circles
around a
   ball of
fire next to
  the moon
that moves

oceans, and
  you still
     don't
