Pick me up
Put me down
Walk away
Turn around

Tell me yes
While saying no
Hold me tight
Let me go

Please just make up your mind

Toss me out
Catch me back
Taking more
Giving less

What you give
What you take
Say you love
Show you hate

Please just make up your mind

I'd set fire to the air you breathe
so you can burn with every
inhale

exhale

Once upon a time
26 years ago
I was forced
To stuff those feelings down
All that had ever
Made me sad
Or left me feeling low
Such feelings I denounced
So easily they seemed to go...
That's when I started writing
Poetry to save my life
Bars upon those windows
And beyond the free sunshine

So many years
I escaped my miseries
Unfortunately
They all still existed
Somewhere
Subconsciously...
Life is a struggle
Trying to realign
Poetry connected me
To the Divine

All of the
hope  I  have,
       begins
         and
        ends
  with  you.

       I find
you  in  sad  
      songs,
  the sounds
      of rain,
      sunsets,
     Sundays,
      smiles,
  and all of the
         little
       things
    in my life.

      Always
    remember,
         my
   heart holds  
          you
        when
       my arms
       cannot.                                                          ­               Jon York   2019

Brown eyes,
Not just any kind of brown.
In the sunlight,
Pools of honey,swirling around.
Nectar of the body,
Gateway to the soul.
Many wish to taste,
Few will actually know.
Shallow in complete clarity yet,
Deep enough to drown.
All it takes is one drop,
To turn my whole world
Upside down.

If
If you had a penny for every time you thought of me.
How rich would you be?
If you had a choice of anyone
Among all the beings of fantasy
Would I be the one you chose?
If all your deepest fears arose
Would I be the one you pulled close?
If I die would you cry?
Would I be worth the precious water leaving your eye?
When the tests have all been done, and your face finally dry.
Would I have been worth it? Only you could decide.

Never has anyone had the power to make me feel so strong, yet so weak, so alive yet so bleak, so amused at what I’m so confused, calling victory to what I should have called truce, until you. I’m a walking contradiction, a Yin and a Yang, with no balance, an order and a chaos, with a hint of madness. For you, I would take the happiness with the sadness.

Shy
All I hear is the deafening tock,
Of a clock ticking
My life is slowly going by
I would  stop it to say hello
And dare I even enjoy it’s company
But I’ve always been too shy

Feelings
              that come
                  back
             are feelings
                   that
               never left.

                  Love
                 led me
                    all
                the way
                   back
                  to you.

                    And
                 I'm still
               convinced
                    that
                 the rest
                      of
                  my life
                    looks
                     like
                     you.
