How awkward
the situation
in retrospect,
how imperfect
the setting.

An act,
an intimate
thing
cut off.

whose
memory
refused to fade.

After
so many years
why does this
fractured
incomplete
thing still
occupy
the choicest
of place of
my thoughts?                                                                   Jon York   2021

How brief
our encounter,
yet the experience
I hold in
high esteem.

Time dies,
life goes on.

Our hearts burn
in eternal flame.

We dance
in the dark.

Dancing,
secretly dancing.

Remembered,
remembering.

You are because I am,
I am because you are.
We are lost in a dream,
this is the place we meet.

As  long  as  we  can
see  the  same  sky,
breathe the same air,
step on the same planet,
you and I are not impossible.

Your body is away from me,
but there is a window open
from my heart to yours,
and whenever I close my eyes,
forever I will see yours.
                                                                                   Jon York   2021

You were you
and I was  I,
we were two,
before our time.

I was yours,
before I knew,
and you have always
been mine too.

I love you. I am
always with you.
Be open to the light
and sound you sense.
Listen to your heart,
for that is where I am.

People who are meant
to be together will always
find their way back to each
other.

They might take detours in
life, but they're never lost.

You  sway  left,
I flicker  right,
mirror images of
a divine eternal
flame.

Somehow,
each lengthening
night  mirrors the  
boldness of your
captivating spirit.

That  prison  of  
impossibility glittered
with flecks of crossed
stars.

Centered and still
we will become one,
finally bridging the
divide of the
confounding illusions
of space and time.
