Have someone
           to share
      your happiness,
  sadness, frustration,
               and
       your success
              with.

       She showed me
   one  important  thing
          that no one
      has ever been able
          to show me.

        She showed me
           that I was
         important, that
    there's  a  reason  I'm
         here. She made
    me feel like the world
was lucky to have  me. And
         I don't know if
anyone will ever make me
            feel that way
       again. Thank you
              and you
         have all  my love
                 for that.

What  I  want  most,
is to know
what you hear
in the silence
between us.

Poetry  is
    an echo
asking a
shadow to
       dance.

 Read to me,
a page from your soul
one night at a time.

You are
whatever  a
           moon
has always
        meant,
and
whatever
a sun will
always sing.

I ripple
when you touch me
like a childish river
         running home.

Some souls just understand each other upon meeting and when souls find comfort in one another separation is not possible.

I'm not crazy,
I'm an Artist



                                                             Art is my life
                                                             and  my   life
                                                                          is Art.
                                                                                         Jon York   2019

Nothing  is
impossible,
the    word
itself   says
'I'm possible'.
                                                                                               Jon York   2019

You are terrifying
      and strange and beautiful.
              Something not
             everyone knows how
                  to love, but my
         love roars louder than
                 your demons.  
     You come to me sometimes
               at night when
      we  are   apart, and walk
through  my  dreams  as  if  they
                 belong to you.
                     They do.
       The ocean inside my chest
               rages for you  
The voice of your eyes is deeper than
            all roses because
     your eyes said you were
                feeling it too.
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

Shadow lines and fabric spilled,
skin that holds it, soundless and
delicate.
I will untie and let fall,
what you wore
landing on the feet of me,
a whisper as it settles.
There is time to take
and lines to trace on the backs
of your legs. I will decorate
you in fingerprints.
Look back over your shoulder
and let your hands
be still
at your sides,
I will kiss the spots
aching from
the day.
Love has a taste, and I've
held it in my mouth.
Didn't know sour could taste
sweet, or sweet
fringed with ****.
Your name has a flavor,
and I keep it beneath
my tongue, afraid
it will dissolve
if I move too much,
if I swirl it behind my teeth.                                          Jon York   20019

To love or to
        have
        loved,
          that
     is enough.
          Ask
      nothing
       further.
         There
       is no fear
         to be
    found in the
         dark
    folds of life.

       Sometimes
               I
        just wish
             that
       I could fast
      forward time,
             just to
         see if it's all
              worth
                   it
            n the end.
                                                            ­                           Jon York   2019

If  you  want   to  be
together,  you  have
     TO-GET-HER.
            and
when  I  saw  her   I
       fell  in  love,
   and she  smiled,
because  she   knew.
                                                           ­                                Jon York   2019

Stop expecting so
   much from people.

                                        Jon York   2019

Meet me  where  the
stars  gather to make
          love to the moons,
                 we'll  find our  world
                       there.
                                                                                           Jon York   2019

You  and  me
                       in bed all day.

                       Doing some
                        seriously
                      naughty  ****.
                                                                                   Jon York   2019

NEW MONTH.
  new beginning.     new mindset.      new focus.      new start.
                                                                ­                            new intentions.
The sun will rise and you will try again.                new results.                                        

Inhale courage, exhale fear.

Never regret a day in your life:
                                                       Good days give happiness.
          Bad days give experience.
                                    Worse days give lessons.
                                                        ­     The best days give memories.
    Life is short,
          Live it.                   Anything that costs your peace
    Love is rare,                                                            ­      is expensive.
          Grab it.
    Anger is bad,                             No matter how much
          Dump it.                              you know, there's always more to
     Fear is awful,                                                           ­                   learn.
           Face it.
  Memories are sweet,                                                         Everything is
         Cherish them.                                                            ­   going to be
                                                                ­                             alright, maybe
Keep your head high no matter what happens.               not today,
You'll  be alright. If the moment hurts, do not fall                 but
victim to its pain, look ahead. Focus on what can be.      eventually.
          Focus on your dreams. You'll make it.
                                                                ­                           Jon York   2019

Every accomplishment starts
with the decision to try and
limitations live only in our
minds but if we use our
imagination, our possibilities
become limitless.

The road is long with many a
winding turns and if you are
always on the road not to
reach a goal but to enjoy its
beauty and its wisdom, life
ceases to be a task and
becomes natural and simple,
in itself an ecstasy.

If there's something special
you want to do, now is the
time...if you want to make a
difference in the world, now
is the time. Don't be fooled  
into thinking you should wait
until you are older or wiser or
more 'secure' or that it is just
around the corner, because it
doesn't work that way.

The wisdom will come. The
security will come. But first
you must begin your adventure
realizing that it is not waiting
for you 'just around the corner,'
for our wisdom is the point of
view from which we come at
last to regard the world.

Let every breath
that leaves my lungs
be filled with you.
                                                                                            Jon York   2019

"I love you,"
that means I'm not just
   here for the pretty
             parts.

           I'm here
      no matter what
                and
         good things
       happen, when
         love is real.
            we will
            be okay.
         Let's root for
        each other and
          watch each-
          other grow.
       When you can't
       find the sunshine,
        be the sunshine.

Real men
  make your
  ******* wet,
   not your
      eyes.              
                                                                ­                      Jon York    2019

A   sensitive
soul with   a
warrior spirit.
                                                                                                Jon York   2019

I love you wildly,
madly,
and without reason;
I love you softly,
with tender hands and
softened spirit,
I love you patiently,
but outlined
in an urgency I cannot
define.
I love you
and you can take your time
discovering all
the hows;
I love you
and you will never doubt
the why.
                                                                                    Jon York   2019

She  risked  heartbreak
       for she craved
         feeling alive,
   an untamed creature
     addicted to love...
    She wanted to burn
          with desire.
       To be set free
    while  flying  high
     on broken wings.
   Love   is  not  scary,
   when it's meant to be.
                                                                                                Jon York   2019

Bite marks,
because sometimes
it's important
to mark your
territory.
                                                 ­                                           Jon York    2019

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

You  leave a little sparkle
wherever  you   go  and

talking   to  you,   laughing
with   you, being with  you,  
changes  my  whole   mood
and  if   you're   *****  and
you know it, clap your.....

        oh, they're tied?
            Never mind.
Don't tease me unless you're
     going to please me!
                                                                                               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

Never
stop
showing
someone
how much
they mean
to you.
                                                                                                 Jon York   2019

Stop trying

     so hard to deny

      what is so obvious

                to see.....
                                                                                         Jon York   2019

By  the  way,
I'm  wearing
the  smile  you
gave   me.

We may not have
it   all   together,
but    together,
we  have  it  all.

Depression is your
mind telling you it's
tired   of  being  the
   character you're
     trying to play.
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

The only way
                  to live is
           to  accept  each
             minute as an
      unrepeatable miracle,
           which is exactly
      what  it  is -- a  miracle
         and unrepeatable
                 and know
   sometimes it's good to pause
             in our pursuit of
        happiness and  just  be
                    happy
             and remember,
     one thought driven home
              is better than
           three left on base.

        The human body was  
             wisely designed
       so  that we can neither
   pat  our  own  back  nor kick
         ourselves too easily
  and  remember  that  no one
          lives in perfection
     and  tomorrow  is  a  new
           untarnished day,
              and you can
         be hurt only if you
                  care a lot.
                                                            ­                      Jon York   2019

A    person   becomes   10 times  
more    attractive   not   by   their  
looks   but      by   their   acts   of  
kindness,  love, respect, honesty,
and  loyalty  they   show and  as
long  as  we  continue    to   love  
each other fiercely,  have a lot of
***, be kind, be honest, and stay
loyal,                
                    and  
I take you like  it's the  first time
and  the  last  time  every single
time, the rest will fall into place.
                                                                                          Jon York   2019

You    are   my   sin ,
my   willing  desire ,
the   one  who   fills
me  with  urges  of
extreme   ******  cravings.
You   are   my   sin,
as you are  my life.
Saving    me   from
death  of  sameness
in  life.  Nothing  is
hidden, nothing  forbidden,
as I take your body
in all the ways you
wish, all the ways I  choose.
I  lust for your feel,
your   taste, your forbidden
fruit.  As  you   are
my   sin,   So  I  am
                               your  sire....

A   wise  physician
once said "the best medicine  
for    humans    is
love." And if it doesn't work?
Increase the dose.

with   his   lips   and   tongue.

I  AM

                                                                                                 Jon York   2019

You are the love

    and the life

            I
         love
         being
        yours.

          You
          own
           my

       Your were
         nothing

A dream written
      down with a
           DATE
becomes a goal. A goal
  broken down into
            STEPS
     becomes a plan.
   A plan backed by
          ACTION
  makes your dreams
        come true.

Everything

                                                                                       Jon York   2019

I always write poetry
        and, read it.
     You know how
    sharks  have  to
     keep swimming
   or  they  die?   I'm
   like that.  If  I  stop

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

If
   you cheat
         on
    someone,
         you
   don't love
       them.
                                                                                 Jon York   2019

I
     myself
    are made
     entirely
          of
       flaws,
     stitched
     together
        with
        good
     intentions.

I don't need much,
but  what  I  need
    is everything.
I don't need things
because they often
distract from what's
real.
I   just   need   you,
and  to  hold  your
hand  on  this path
that  only  we   can
understand.

Hearts  are  wild

creatures,   that's

why our ribs are

cages.

I    liked  her  smile,

but I  loved it when

I   was   the   reason.

She devoured   my

heart and somehow

left  me  wanting  to

   feed   her   more.

And even if I know

how  this story will

end,  I  would  still  

read our story again

       and  again.
                                                     ­                             Jon York   2019

You will ask
for a match
and I will
give you
a wildfire.
I don't know
how to love
small.
So I brought
her mouth
to mine and said,
"I am going to kiss
you until the only
name you will ever
taste is mine."
And just before I
walked away
I whispered to
her "Just because the
timing is off
doesn't mean that
you and I are not
destined to be
together, there's no
end to our story."
                                                         ­                           Jon York  2019

Do the earth a favor,
          don't  hide  your  magic.
                 The stars would be
       so proud to know their atoms
              created somebody
                          like you.
              Magic tumbles from your
                 pretty lips, and when
          you speak the language of the
     universe ---- the stars sigh in unison.

               And when I touch you
          it is as if the stars are dancing
                     across my skin. and
                        I say to you,
          "you blush like an ocean in love,
                    wild with blueness,
         and you are your own standard
                            of beauty."
               Understand that women
       like you don't happen often and
   never  forget  how  rare  you are so seek
               only those who fan your
                                 flames.  

                   And  understand  it's
            your heart of gold & stardust soul
       that make you beautiful and you will be
             too much women for every man
      until you find the right one and you know
                that I'm the only one who
                         makes you glow.

The best kiss
               is the
      one that's been
        exchanged a
     thousand  times
    between  the  eyes
        before it ever
             reaches
             the lips
         and the best
   portion of your life
          will be the
      small nameless
           moments
   you spend smiling
          with the one
                  that
               matters
               to you.

Knowing a person
is like music,

What attracts us

Every moment

   gives us a new

                                                                               You literally get

                                                                               a  second chance

                                                                                      every second.

        awesome.

   But **** happens.

I'm  shy  at  first
            but once I'm
        comfortable  with
          you, get ready
         for  some  crazy
                    ****.
                                                                                         Jon York   2019

I
         don't
     think you
    understand
        exactly
   how much  I
         want
      your lips.
  Just  kiss  me,
    we can talk
          later.
Just keep loving me.
I'll keep loving you.
       And the
    rest will fall
          into
          place.
