Life is
           like
            a
          ****.
     Sometimes
         it's up,.....
      sometimes
        it's down...
          But it
           won't
         be hard
         forever.
          If they
        need you
       temporarily
          ignore
           them
      permanently.
        Life has
      taught me.
     Never expect
    anything from
          anyone.
Don't love too much.        
Don't hope too much.
Don't trust too much.
Because that too much                           Temporary people
is going to hurt you so much                          give permanent lessons.

                                                      T­here is always hope. Always
                                                          ­                                   Jon York   2019

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.


                                                       ­                                      Jon York   2020

I'll be  the one you thought  
you'd never find.  I'll be  the
one  that steps  up  in   every  
place  the last   man stepped  
aside.  I'll  be   the   rock that
never   crumbles.  I'll  be the
ear that can never hear enough.

  I'll   be your  teacher, your
best   friend,  your   # 1 fan.  
    I'll be the one that climbs  
your walls  so  I  can guard  
your   heart.
   Most  of   all  , I'll   be   the    
one     that    changes    your  
perspective  on   every  man
you ever met.
   And   don't   confuse    my  
personality with my attitude....
My     personality   is     who  
I   am, my  attitude depends  
       on   who you are....

Unless
       it's  mad,
      passionate,
            or
   extraordinary
          love,
   it's a waste of
      your time.
There are too many
        mediocre
      things in  life.
            Love
     shouldn't  be
      one of them.
         You can
      have   your
       ordinary  
            love,
               I
         want to be
  drown in passion
              and
   be ravished every
            night.
     The goal is to
laugh forever with the
      one you love
               and
      the  heart knows
             when
        the search is
               over.                                                          Jo­n York   2019

What does the word Love mean?
is it only a dream or is it two
people sharing their lives  together
forever.

Is Love a promise that we make?
a promise to only be with  each
other or a promise that there will
be no other.

Is Love a feeling or a thought?
or maybe it is something that
we all want.

Is Love a choice that we make or
maybe a chance that we take.  

I wish you could see what I feel
when I hear your voice because
it gives me hope and I can feel
its love as my heart beats for you,
my eyes search for you and my
love always wants to be near you.

I have loved you for so long with
all my heart and soul and after
being apart for so long you found
me broken and made me whole.

I honor your light, your love, your
truth, your beauty and the peace
within you because it is also within
me and in sharing these things we
are united and we are the same and
we are one and we both know and
understand that happiness is a
choice, not a result so we breathe,
believe, and receive.

If only our
eyes   saw
     souls  
instead   of
bodies, how
very different
our ideals
of beauty
would be.

You don't
have a soul.
You  are a

You have a

A   beautiful
face will age
and a perfect
body will
change.

When I  silence  your
      mind while making
       your body scream
       with pleasure and
   when I wrap my hands
              in your hair
   and pull your head back
      as I'm attacking you    
              from behind.
                                                                                         Jon York   2019

There's
          a  moment
            between
                  a
         glance  and
               a kiss
           where  the
          world  stops,
               for the
            briefest  of
               times.

            And the
          only  thing
     between us is the
        anticipation
        of   your  lips  
           on mine.  

        A moment
       so   intense,  it
  hangs in the air and
     pulls us closer.

        A moment
so  perfect  that  when
it comes to an end,
       we realize,
   it's   only   just
       beginning.
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

The human heart always forgives,
                   no matter
               what it is told,
            even when we give
        most of it to another and
                     forget to
                   keep a little
                           for
                     ourselves
                       and it
                won't come easy

                 but it will come.
                                                                                          Jon York   2019

I only want

two things in

this world.....


I want you.

And I want us.                          
(some ****, bacon and chocolate would be nice too.)


     I  seriously

wouldn't mind

     if you just

    grabbed my

       face and

       kissed it.                             Jon York   2018

I wake up
    each morning
    with you in my arms.

    comforted by your oddness

     seduced by your knowledge
     of my ways,
     I want to care for you.

     You looked at me
     and whispered,
      "bite my lip and
       press your body
       against mine."

        I said to you, "kissing
        is the language of love"...

        "how about a conversation."

         "My lips,
           my teeth,
           your neck," and "then I'm going to
           cover you with me because I want
           the line between us to disappear now."
           I exclaimed.

           It's not *** that
           gives the pleasure,
            but the lover.

"I going to make love to you as if there's  someone working 24 hours a day to take you away from me."  
"And there usually is."
                                                            ­                            Jon York   2019

All   I   want
to  see,  hear,
smell, taste &
touch  is  you.
                                                                                              Jon York   2019

You   have
          opened
         my heart,
          my  dear
          so   now
         enter there
         and grant
          me peace
           and love
          and make
           me want
             to LIVE,
             not just
             survive;
             not just
                exist.
                 LIVE...

     Love recognizes no
     barriers,  it  jumps
   hurdles, leaps fences,
   penetrates  walls  to
  arrive at its destination
   full of hope and if
someone makes you happy,
     make them happier.

      It's ironic that you feel
most alive when your heart
       skips a beat and mine
skips a beat every time I look
        at  you,  touch  you,
           or  kiss you.                                                            Jon York   2019

Love  isn't

supposed

to be easy.                           It's

                                              supposed

                                               to be worth

                                                it.
           ­                                                                 ­              Jon York   2019

She  rolled  over,
       and  buried  half  her  face
             in her pillow,
        and  smiled slightly.

   It was then, the overwhelming
          realization hit me
               that there is
         so much more to life
     than  simply  surviving  it.

            And it was then I
     understood  that  we  are
                  mosaics -
            pieces  of  light,

                              love,

                              history,

                              stars -

       glued together with Magic
                                   and Music
                                   and Words.
                                                                                        Jon York   2019

I don't want
             ***  with  you,
                         I
         want all the things
                       that
               lead up to it.
           the slow kissing,
                  then the
          passionate kissing,
                  then the
              pulling closer,
           the  neck  kisses,
              the grabbing,
                    biting,
             heavy breathing,
                  grinding,
         the  pauses  while  you
             catch your breath,
                     feeling
                one   another.  

                    Oh my.

                 Then  ***.
I'll make you scream out my name...
     till it drives me insane,
         and then we both
      lay spent on the bed.
                     and
                Don't you
       even  think  that  I'm
                 done
                with you yet.                                                   Jon York   2019

I just  want  a love
like   rain.  heavy,
     passionate,
spontaneous, slow,
  intense, and wet.
                                                                           Jon York   2019

Love
  her
deeply
but also
remember
  to love
     her
raw and
    f__k
     her
senseless.
    In the
     end,
    words
      and
    sweet
  gestures
   are not
   enough.
      She
   wants to
      feel
     your
   passion.
                                                                                       Jon York   2019

You will always
be enough for me,
not even the
greatest dreamer
could convince me
that there is more
to life than
loving
you.

I think part of the
reason why we hold
on to something so
tight is because we
fear something so
great won't happen
twice.

In the end
I would rather
be able to say
I loved too much,
than not enough.
                                                         Jon York   2018

Our lips
collide as tongues
dance their tangled tango.
Sighs, halted gasps, as clothes fall to
                the floor.
                                                                             Jon York   2019

One kiss
         on the forehead
                 is much
         sweeter  than  a
    thousand kisses on the
            lips. No lust
but full of love and respect.
              And then I'm
   going to taste every inch
             of you until
        you are quivering
                with need.
     I'm going to make love
         to you until you
   can barely breathe. I am
            going to bring
you to ecstasy over and over
            until you are
     flying high. Once you
               come down,
       I  am  going  to  do  it
           all again. Why?  
      Because you are mine.
                                                                                     Jon York   2019

When silence speaks, embrace
the qualities; love, kindness,
caring, integrity, honesty and
trust and thank those around
you for their love, patience
and forgiveness.

Be loving, patient and forgiving
with others and be a true friend
to someone today- someone
who is in trouble, lonely or
frightened and extend an
uplifting hand to someone today
who needs it.

Distinguish between what is
important and the glitter
knowing it is easy to forget
and the temptations for glitter
seem always to be there and
realize that we all have the
strength to endure the
misfortunes of others and
when you are hurting and
confused, have the courage to
share that hurt with your loved
ones so that they may be
supportive.

Bury all bitter and unkind
thoughts and free yourself from
self-pity knowing that the love
within you is replenished as you
give love to others and when
your words and deeds contradict
each other, be aware of it and
don't be so quick to see faults in
others and have the courage to
shed those faults knowing that
time is all we have-savor it not
save it.

The sunrise,
        of course doesn't
             care if you
         watch  it or  not.
It will keep on being beautiful,
          even if no one
   bothers  to  look  at  it.

              And she is
         the same. she doesn't
   care  if I watch  her  or  not,
       and she will keep on
being beautiful , even if I  don't
                look at her.

              Be  yourself,
        people  don't  have to  
             like you, and
      you don't have to care
         and understand
     that there are people who
            are always in love
        with  the  sky, no  matter
the weather and  I have found her,
       someone  who  loves
        me  in the  same  way.

It's hard

Being your first love cannot be
described in words, you just
had to be there to understand.

But to also be your last love after
so, so long apart is somewhere
beyond infinity that simply cannot
be expressed by any words except
by two: first and last.

Love is the most healing force in
the world, nothing goes deeper
than love.

It heals not only the body, not
only the mind, but also the soul.

We both knew it. Time, distance,
nothing could separate us because
we both knew it was right, it was
real.

And the reason we have stayed
together in our minds is because
we give each other something that
nobody else can.

Every love story is beautiful but
ours is my favorite.                                               Jon York      2018

I
        realized
           that
             if
         I didn't
       embrace her
   madness, then
          I would
     never taste her
             magic.
      I didn't want
         to fall in
        love or need
          someone.
                I
        really didn't
     want anything,
but then you appeared
              and I
started wanting everything.
        I never craved
  attention, until I tasted
             yours.
You didn't want a prince
        on a white horse,
    you wanted a ******
    who makes you laugh,
             well here
     I am for your pleasure.                                            Jon York   2019

Always be touching
her,
even when your hands
       cannot reach
               her.
                                                                                             Jon York   2019

My arms
         are  strong  enough
         to hold every fear,
                      every
         beautiful broken
                   piece
                   of you.
           I am here, not
                to make
        you feel complete,
                   but to
            complete you.
               I am not
         going anywhere,
           the only time
    I'll let go of your hand
                   is to
            grab your ***.

   I think about how far I've
            roamed and
   the things that I've seen,
          when   all   along ,
            I  was  yours.
There was so much to see
         on the way to
           your door.

      There is no path to
           happiness;
        happiness   is
            the path.
                                                           ­                                Jon York    2019

Poetry doesn't
            have  to rhyme, it just
     has  to  touch  someone where
            your hands couldn't.

                 A poem begins
          a  lump  in  my  throat, a
                   sense of what's
                           wrong,
                      what's right.
                 A homesickness. A  
                       love sickness.

                       Why poetry?
               I  am  asked,  I  answer,
                   "because of life."

                      I don't want
                 just words from you,
                     the one who is
             supposedly  the  center
                        of my world.
              If  that's  all  you  have  
                           for me,
                     you'd  better  go.
          We whisper lies to ourselves
               and forget that reality
                   is a light sleeper.

Take my clothes off one piece at a time.
Start where you wish, but do not stop
until there is nothing but ache between
us. It is amazing how manageable life
can be with only  one blanket  and  the
right two arms.

Why ever you wandered into this little
life of mine, how ever you found me, it
matters  not. Forget the way you  came,
I never want you to go back again and I
think it was the feeling of you that  told  
me  you  were  it.

Because I've felt many things in my life,
and  somehow, no  matter how great,  I
knew I could live without it.  Until I felt
you. There was something inside of me
that wouldn't let go. Not  just the feel of
you, but  the feel  I  had of myself.

I  promise  you I will  try harder  to  do
better. I have battled with things inside  
of  me  for longer  than  you know; I do
not  know  what  they  are or  why they
are  there, I  only  know  that  they  feel
manageable, and can be defeated when
I am around you.

In a house where the world is dark. love
will always find a way to create windows
and I  just  hope  it  is  freedom  you  feel,
when loving  me. I  just hope  it  is  home
you find.

Find  a  lover
              with miles
         on her tires, and
            worn treads.

             The stretch
       of road behind her
              may have
         been  long  and
      tiresome , but  she's
            better for it.

            Her  rear  view
             mirror is full,
      but her hands know
                  how to
            tame my body
                    and
            as she says my
                    name
              I couldn't help
                     but
                 mistake
                    it for
          "I'm finally home."

"I  like  living.  I have been  wildly,  despairingly,  acutely
miserable,  racked with sorrow; but through  it  all  I  still
know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."  
                                                                          Agatha Christie

As  humans  we  need  regular doses of  unreasonable  beauty,
sublime anomalies, beguiling ephemera, and inexplicable joys.

I  chose  to  be  optimistic,  it  feels  better.  I choose also  to  be
truthful, gentle, and fearless.

Time is really the  only capital that  I or any human being  has,
and it is the only thing we can't afford to lose. Let your choices
reflect your hopes, not your fears.

The past is where we  learn the lesson. The future is where we
apply the lesson.

It is only a short trip. Enjoy it. You are not what you have done,
you are what you have overcome.
                                                       ­                                      Jon York   2024

Imagine   what   our
world would be like
if  everyone  loved  themselves
                                       so much
     that they weren't threatened by:
                    Other peoples opinions,
                    Skin colors,
                    ****** preferences,
                    Talents,
                     Education
                     Possessions
                     Lack of possessions,
                     Religious beliefs,
                     Customs or their general tendency
                                   just to be whoever the hell
                                                                   they are.

Your  life  is  your   party.
                       You    get  to  choose  how  you
                       invite  people  and  experiences
                       and things into it.
You alone are responsible
                       for what you do or say and you
                       generally  see  what  you   are
                       looking for and hear what  are
                       listening for.

We drink the poison our minds pour for us and wonder why we feel so sick.
                                                                                   Jon York   2019

If I could have just one wish, I  would wish  

to   wake  up  every  day  to the  sound of

your breath,  the warmth  of  your lips  on  

my   neck,  the  touch  of  your  fingers   on  

my skin, and  the feel of your heart  beating  

with  mine.

You're  the  only  one  who I wouldn't  mind

losing   sleep for, the only  one who  I  never

get tired of talking to, and  the only one who 

crosses  my mind  constantly throughout the

day.

You're the only one who can make me  smile,

and  the  only  one who  without  trying  can 

change my  mood without the intention to,  the

only one  who  can  affect  my  emotions  with

every  action  of yours, and you're  the  one  I

am not afraid of loving and the only one I want

to keep in my life.

                           Sounds like love to me.

You steady me and stir me
         all at once.
                                                                                                Jon York   2019

And
             suddenly
             all these
                songs
                 are
               about
                 you.
                And
                 still
                    I
                cling
                   to
                what
                once
                 was.
                                                            ­                           Jon York   2019

But I don't
                    want good
                    and I don't
                    want good
                     enough,  I
                     want  can't
                     sleep, can't
                       breathe
                       without
                     your love
                     and I also
                     want to be
                      your best
                      friend and
                      I will always
                      tell you the
                      truth, and I
                      will often
                      overuse
                    " I love you."

I want you to be to a lover who looks at me like maybe I am magic and someone who is a home and an adventure all at once. You will be a little bit of heaven with a wild side.

She  is  the  one
I   finally   came   back
home  to   once  I   was
pure  enough,  because
it is our last relationship
                       of the soul.

You cannot break us for
we are of the same soul.

Time  does  not  exist  within  us,
for  we   are  together  regardless.
We feel, we  love, we  communicate
on a different vibrational  platform.
                                                  ­                                 Jon York    2019

Things I want:
        1. You
        2.

So may my smiles
begin   with   you
because   every
love   story   is
beautiful but ours
is   my   favorite.

I love you. You
annoy me more
than I ever
thought
possible. But I
want to spend
every irritating
minute with you.

I never wanted
to be your whole
life -- just your
favorite part.

A woman can
change a man
because she loves                                           Every
him. A man changes                                      day I
himself because he loves her.                       love
                                                            ­              you more.
                                                           ­                                  Jon York   2019

I  CAN   DO   IT.

I  DESERVE   IT.

I WILL GET   IT.

END OF STORY.
                                                                                 Jon York   2019

It will take time but  
           you   can   make  it  happen.
              Nothing  is  permanent.
                   You have choices.
                     All that matters
            is  that  you  decide  today
                and never look back.
                            Decide.
                          Ju­st  do  it.
                             Decide.
                    How soon  is  now?
                        The secret of
                       transformation
                          is the way
                  we handle this very
                            moment.
                     Is this the life you
                         want to live?
                 Is  this  the  person  you
                        want to love?
                 Is this the best version
                         of   you  that
                          you can be?
                Could  you  be stronger?
                             Kinder?
                   More compassionate?
                        Ask yourself,
                "does  this  support  the  life  
              ­      I'm  trying to create?  
                               Decide.
                  Breathe in, breathe out
                           and decide.
                 Once    you   figure  out
                    what respect tastes
                                   like,  it
                 tastes better than attention.                         Jon York   2019

To have someone
understand your mind is
            a different kind of
                            intimacy.
                                                                                           Jon York   2019

Life is not happening to you.

Life is responding to you.





                                          Don't ask people for

                                          directions when they've

                                           never been where you

                                                      are going.


Work hard in silence ...................... let success be your noise.

                                                         ­                     Jon York   2019

If your
   dreams
don't scare
  you they
  aren't big
   enough.
                                                                                          Jon York   2019

Stay faithful,
make her feel wanted,
respect her, don't flirt
with others, and make
time for each other,

and maybe we might  just
get this thing off the ground.

And remember, It's a two way street.
                                                                      Jon York   2019

I am not the jealous type,
but what's mine is mine.
                     End of story.
                                                                                       Jon York   2019

Strive not
       to be
          a
     success,
   but to be
         of
       value.

         It's
       easier
      to fool
  people than
           to
     convince
        them
         they
     have been
       fooled.
                                                                      Jon York   2019

Do not
       waste  your  precious
        time giving one
              single ****
                   about
            what anyone
                    else
             thinks of you.

                 We only
          get to be in our
        bodies for a limited
                   time.

                    Why
                     not
             celebrate the
                 journey
               instead of
                  merely
                 riding  it
                      out
                   until it's
                     over?

              Speak the truth
         you  are  carrying  in
                 your heart
         like a hidden treasure.
                 There is no
       time for anything else.
                              
                                                               Jon York   2019

From you,
I always need:
one more kiss,
one more hug,
one more touch,
one more - you
know what!
simply,
always more of you.
