.

Her eyes were red,
They showed her pain
It was obvious,
That she was crying again.

Her voice, just a whisper
Insignificant as dust
She's searching for someone
Someone to trust

She smiled and laughed
While her eyes remained empty
Strange that a smile
Can hide things so deadly

Her wrists show no scars
But her soul, tampered and broken
Their words were like weapons
Invisible when spoken

Her eyes were red,
They showed her pain
It was obvious,
That she was crying again...

I will take charge of my life
and savor each moment that I have left
and let my wounds heal
as I open my senses to the beauty
that surrounds me as I make
my dreams become reality.

In my journey. . .
as I turn the pages I find
that braver is the one who overcomes
his desires and not just his enemies
because the hardest victory
is over self.

In my journey. . .
no person will have the power
to keep me upset or lonely and today
I choose to deepen my understanding of myself
and others and today I choose healthy
interactions with others and good
expectations of this day.

In my journey. . .
I choose to have purpose on earth
and I will strengthen my direction
with the words that I write
and the messages that I give myself
as those messages are the most important
messages that I could hear.

In my journey. . .
I affirm my personal power
now that we have met and I affirm
my capacity to give love to
and to receive love from this
very special lady who knows I have purpose
and together we celebrate the miracle
of being alive as she helps me
channel my directions.

In my journey. . .
She helps me to slow down my thoughts
and to change my perceptions and she gives me
the ability to handle all that confronts me
as renewed energy surges through me
and today she is the one that gives me the joy
of belonging and the quiet ecstasy
of mutual nurturing as we reach out
to one another's hands.

In my journey today. . .
I am still a student of life
and will not condemn myself
for inadequacies or mistakes
nor faults or failings as I focus
on beauty and virtue and goodness
because I have come so far in my journey
and still a way to go and with her
by my side it will go
nice and slow.               Jon  York       2013

She unlocked the ***** of my heart
Without taking my heart she went away
‘Come, come this heart is for you'
She went away and never came back.

All the lovers are busy in loving
And I am still in search of you
Love me or not return the *****
Let me live and let me write for another woman…….

Life is ridiculous because
With every tear that falls
A flame grows a bit bigger

So don't you feel awful for sobbing?
You're creating
A wildfire
I DON'T

Because life needs the excitement
Yeah, people're gonna die
But with each death
We see life

We get something that happens
And we gain the opposite
Which can be amazing
Like with losing a lisp
And gaining the confidence to speak

Or

It can be damaging
Because we often gain new friends,
So what do we gain?
A bully, an enemy, pain.

But

Despite a sea of faults
We keep going,
Fighting
Surviving.
BUT WHY

Because

We accept these faults
And hold the good dear
But don't let the bad disappear
As they will help us grow.

Life is ridiculous
But we keep fighting
Because under all the pain
We see beauty

We always tried to fall
Together
But when we broke
We shattered like glass.
Apart,
Lost,
And damaged.
But mostly,
Alone.
Because we fell together,
We crashed apart.
