I still hide you
    in my poetry and long after
             I have given up,
      my  heart still searches
                  for you
                without
                    my
               permission.

            Life is so ironic.
     It  takes  sadness  to  know
         what happiness is,
                   noise to
           appreciate silence.

                  The most
       beautiful things in life
               are not things,
     they're people and places,
             and memories and
                   pictures.
           They're feelings and
              moments and
                      smiles
                and laughter.

               Memories
       are always  special.
           We laugh by
     remembering the days
               we cried,
And we cry remembering
              the days
            we laughed.....!!    
               That's life.                                                    Jon York   2019

The sun
                       sees her
                         body,
                     the moon
                       sees her
                          soul.

                         She  is
                       devoted
                          to the
                           moon,
                  in its darkness
                       she finds
                       comfort
                          and
                     in its light
                           she
                     finds hope.

                     She loves
                     moonlight
                          and
             rainstorms and many
                other things that
                       have soul
            and  like the moon,
                     part of  her is
                        always
                         hidden.

You are every
                  breath  that  I  take
                         and you
                  are  every  beat  of  
            my  heart  and  I  knew  it
                      from the start.

                          As you lay
                 there with your head
                         on my chest
               and your  arm  around
                my shoulder, while
       running your fingers through
               my beard I couldn't
        help  but wonder  how  did
                    I win your love.

                Cupping your *******
                      in my hands
      I  taste  your body  while swaying
              to the music of your
         moans,  I realize  that you are  
                    all  I ever needed.

                  None of that matters
            now   because we found each
                     other and any  
                time   remaining  will  
                   be spent together.

No one
  is sent by accident
          to anyone
               and
      sometimes the
         two  people
           who are
   best for each other
        will have to
face greater obstacles
          in order to
    be with each other.

           There is no
      need  to  rush, if
         something is
   meant  to  be,  it will
            happen, in
    the right time with
              the right
    person for the best
               reason.

        When it's time
      for  two  souls  to
        meet, there's
    nothing  on  earth
 that   can  prevent  them
        from meeting,
    no   matter   where 
         each  may be
             located.

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.
