Finally

Finally 
By John M Lennon
A rhyme in my head
But it's more then my pen could have said
So it's these actions today instead
Now hoping you have heard what I have said
As I carry you off to bed
Laying next to the woman I love 
And have finally got to Wed

Alone Today

Alone Today
By John M Lennon
Alone I sit 
But I have never wanted to quit
So for every moment that I try 
And every time I lift my head I cry 
Now with these tear filled eye's 
I ask you why?
As it's here alone today that I die

Become One

Become One 
By John M Lennon
   
The puzzling pieces of my heart 
In a million parts
But since we have met 
It seems there's only one  piece left to finish at my best
And it's with your love
I see it has begun 
And now it's you and me 
That has become one

Too Fight

Too Fight
By John M Lennon
Picturing what might
It's my life tonight
With darkness I fight
Always trying to see the light
But it's you that walked out tonight
And took away the breath
I needed to fight

That Night

That Night
By John M Lennon
Sitting down to write 
This is now my light
It reminds me what I have in my life
And what I lost on that night

To Be Said

To Be Said 
By John M Lennon
A new found art 
As I was lost in the dark
Trying to figure out every word to be said
But it's your love I lost instead

Slipping Away

Slipping Away
By John M Lennon
Your finishing touch
When it was your love I needed so much
But to figure it out today
I am too weak in every way
So I let you walk away
Thinking about you every day
An without you here to say
I love you
They are only lost words of feelings 
I let slip away

Without

Without 
By John M Lennon
With no rush
It's my pen instead of a brush
An art with words
Just wanting to be heard 
Feeling your love is what I deserve 
But I am lost…
Without a word

Strength

Strength 
By John M Lennon
No more then what's got me down
I turn to look around
In loneliness I have found
The strength to pick 
Myself up off the ground

Letting Go

Letting Go 
By John M Lennon
Millions of things to say
But with each one taking away a day
I have left with things yet to say
But I hope you know it was you I loved along the way
With each and every day
And with each tear that hurts this way
And with every single step along the way
As it was your hand I held onto 
But letting go, the last thing I have to say 
It's I love you as I let go today

Out Done

Out Done
By John M Lennon
Seeing with each thought words are provoked
And as a writing machine 
It's these lines I dance between
So with every foot step and breath
I wonder what is next
Loving the surprise of the words I have left 
And with the best ones, yet to come
I can see I have out done what every one thought it was 

Food for thought

I heard this the other day and it rings very true to me.



You can only become great in that which you are willing to sacrifices for!!!

Too Shine

Too Shine 
By John M Lennon
Letting go today
Trying to figure out what to say
But frozen in time 
These words of mine
When it use to be you that would make them shine
But here I am alone in time
As I am lost without your love to help me write and shine

Listen

Listen
By John M Lennon
The little things I say
I hope show more then just my love today
It's with a understanding of your day
And your feelings in every way
So as I listen to you everyday
Know it's because I am there for you in every way

Next Breath

Next Breath 
By John M Lennon
More love today
Then the snow that fell that day
So with every flake 
It's one more breath of mine you take
Now it's here we wait 
To eat our wedding cake
Still unable to wait for...
The next breath of mine you will take 

Every Way

Every Way
By John M Lennon
Wrap with love
Each one of your hugs 
Now into your eyes I see there is more love inside
So to capture the day 
I tell you of my love in every way
As it's on our wedding day
You hear me say
I love you in every way

Our Vows

Our Vows 
By John M Lennon
Something sweet to sweep you off your feet
So with every word I write down
It's about something in you I have found
So as I look into your eyes
Know there's a million reasons I will try
To give this new love a try 
As you are the happiness
I now have in my life
And on this our wedding day you hear it in every way

My Best

My Best
By John M Lennon
To sit and wait 
The darkness has taken over this place
So with one moment leading to the next 
iIt's here I take the news best 
Because it's soon I will be at rest
And with only one thing to regret 
Not giving you my best

Motherless

Motherless
By John M Lennon
In your death I was born
A mother I will never know 
With only pictures to show 
And stories of what you use to be before
But how will I ever know 
What you would feel or endure
To put be on a better road  

Touched

Touched 
By John M Lennon
To be touched by your cure
Never to know something so pure
Now alone to think back 
I can see it's our time,
That has passed 
As I began to relax 
It's all the things 
I could never take back
That I learn from and need to move past

Steps

Steps
By John M Lennon
A beauty I have never seen 
But you walked right towards me
Now my hearts skips a beat 
With every step
Left wondering what's next 
When it's me left to take the next step

Climbing Past

Climbing Past

By John M Lennon

A rolling start...even if it was from the dark. 
Now with each mountain I climb, 
I look back and see I have made this mine. 
So know each time I shine, 
It's one more time I was here to climb.

Instilled Strength

Instilled Strength 

By John M Lennon

A depth too which only I can fall 
Outlasting the pain of each day… 
I have been through it all 
Faced with the tragedy's of life
I've seen my fair share 
But now at the base of the next mountain I will climb
I see all the new challenges that you speak of, 
And I am ready to shine
Through every rainy day,
Each cloud that comes my way
Because I will not back away
As this is a strength that's instilled in me
Too stay 

Breaking

Breaking

By John M Lennon
It's from every moment that we are made
And every second we take
But now as I break 
I see what's left on my plate
All the things I never...
Want to face

Bright White

Bright White
By John M. Lennon

Every word I write
Trying to control my life
Every tear I have to fight 
Darkened by the loneliness tonight
Red is all I see as it fades to a bright white
I guess this is my final goodnight

Ending Way

Ending Way
By John M Lennon
Bleeding away 
Only one thought today
In a bottle I hide so the pain will fade away
Longer each day
And every thought of you hurts this way
But today to see what I have lost 
All I wanted to say 
Is I am sorry as I walk away
With my last bottle 
To end it this way

Found Out

Found Out
By John M Lennon
Words of what you think are art 
See it through my eyes 
And the pain from the start 
So with each tear that is shed 
One more word you have read 
Filling up what use to be said
As it is now roses that are laid,
On my monument instead
With  you  staring at the dash...
Wondering what has been left out 
As you now scream and shout 
Because in the loneliness 
You have found out

Freedom

Freedom 
By John M Lennon
Quietly into the night 
No storm in which we won't fight
Here together we stand strong 
Each day from us you count on 
United as we are free 
It is my brother standing next to me 
Being all we can be 
Too bring you 
The freedom you now see 

I Cry

I Cry
By John M. Lennon
The Lord to gather my words
But this only you have heard
As you see it in my eyes 
This my last and only goodbye
As the tears pour out my eyes 
It's you the only reason why
On this my last night I cry

I Guess

I Guess 
By John M Lennon
Dark blue eyes 
Remembering your voice as you whispered goodbye 
Here in lies the only reason why 
It's because of your love I have tried 
And I will a million more times before I die 
So looking upon you as you rest 
Knowing you always gave me your best 
Now with the only tears I have left 
This is my goodbye I guess

In My End

In My End 
By John M. Lennon
Every moment in which you wish for me to fall 
It is you the last person I shall call 
Back against the wall 
Every word to start in this place, 
In which I ball
Hearing what haunts you till the end 
Screaming for you as this new life begins 
Now it's laughter that I am in 
As I see what this greatness has gotten me
In this my end

Left To Ask

Left To Ask 
By John M Lennon
Saved from what I had to say 
But lost in my words for you 
As you let go today
Now to bring you back
Learning I need to relax
With burdens from my past leading me to where I am at 
And it is here where I stand last 
With only one question left to ask 
Is it true love or am I still lost in my past 

Lonely Bed

Lonely Bed
By John M. Lennon
Twisted things in my head
Feeling I would be better off dead
Alone I lay in bed
Wishing with this last breath something could be said
But here I am drifting away 
Hoping you know it's every tear for you I shed
As I lay lonely in this bed
 Lonely Tears 
By John M Lennon
Every word to be drown by a tear
Loneliness of the dark is all I fear 
Every step I stand to clear the past that's got me here 
But now too many on this path have me stuck 
Looking forward to what we all fear
Even though it's just another night since I got here 
And it will be tonight that I drown in all these lonely tears 

Memories Of Why

Memories Of Why
By John M Lennon
Each word wrote 
Memories of every word spoke 
Pain to fill my eyes, 
With each tear I cry
Bleeding but can't remember why
Seeing now this will be 
The last night I live this lie 
And I will be leaving you with 
The memories of why

My Art

My Art 
By John M Lennon
Bless ones heart 
As they roam in ones art 
Seeing the gift from each word
You have now become a part
Looking forward from 
What you think might have been dark 
But in this mans dying heart 
He has called it art

My Day

My Day
By John M Lennon
A thought for the day 
Laying here, 
Blurred wanting something more to say 
Side tracked, as what to say 
With too much time it has gone away
Laying in a coma
Praying for angel's 
To come and take me away
This is now my day

Answered Again

Answered Again 
By John M. Lennon
My time to end 
But did it ever really begin
Sitting here looking to a friend 
Seeing what mistakes led me to rethink it again
And it is this question I fall for in the end
Is there a real love 
That would ever end
Or is this a simple game 
You played with my head
Only with a friend could this question 
Be answered again

Our Life At Rest

Our Life At Rest
By John M Lennon
A dream full filled 
And a love story I could never tell 
Living it each day
Dreaming about you
Without your hand I am lost in every way
Because you are the love of my life
But it's without you I'm left standing 
Trying to figure out my way
When it was you my only day
Being left here to stay 
When I wish I was still with
You in every way

Saying Nothing

Saying Nothing 
By John M Lennon
With every smile you brighten my day
But I am tongue tied with nothing to say
So it's here I stay
Wishing I had the right words to say
Because I want you in my day
I just don't know how to ask today

Shadows

Shadows 
By John M Lennon
To fight it out 
It's with each word I shout
And these dreams that are filled without
In shadows I now have doubt
But for it to be more then what I am about 
It's these last few words I am leaving without
And now I have left you with the doubt
So you can question what these shadows are about 

To Never Know

To Never Know
By John M Lennon
My art 
Speaking from a dying heart 
Every word wrote as I fall a part 
Never knowing the love, 
From which it had it's start 
Because as I wrote 
I bled through what is now considered
My art 

Truly

Truly 
By John M Lennon
Each word written down
With blood this book is bound
And with each page turned
It's a new lesson learned 
So now as I stand 
In what you think is the promise land 
I fear who I am 
Because this is such a dark, and lonely land 
But I have the time to figure out who I am 
And now it's with eternity 
I am with what I never thought I could stand
But then it's right here where I am
Knowing who I truly am 

What Is Next

What Is Next 
By John M Lennon
A true artist with words
And your emotions that I have stirred
As one thought leads to the next
You sit there to wonder and regret 
Did I put on my best 
But now it is me they lay to rest 
So in my death 
You begin to wonder 
What would have been said next

Wrote

Wrote
By John M Lennon
Depicting every note 
Wondering what words
Could be wrote 
But it is here I choked 
On the words I should have spoke 
Now living in what hurt's the most 
Because it's my heart that has been broke
With these the last few words
I will have wrote

A Lasting Salute

A Lasting Salute 
By John M. Lennon
A salute too you 
For all that you do
Here nothing more true
Then the pride you have held on too 
With courage under fire
Standing for what we all desire
So now with our flag flying at half mast
I stand here saluting the courage of your path
And thanking you for every moment for which I am at
Because it was you that gave everything 
To make this forever last

By My Side

By My Side
By John M Lennon
When I look up at the sky,
All I see is you in my eyes.
Can't have you by my side,
I just wish I knew why.
You went away too fast,
But I still remember your laugh.
And that is why I cry,
When you are not…
By my side

Everything I Thought

Everything I Thought
By John M Lennon
Words there are not enough 
This is something I felt only through your touch
Now for our love to mean so much more 
I have to be the one to endure 
Seeing you laying on the bedroom floor 
Not breathing one breath more
Taking away everything I thought we had in store 
All because you thought I didn't love you anymore
Now pumping on your chest covered in a bloody mess
I only feel the regret 
Of not showing you more of my love I guess

Facing Tomorrow

Facing Tomorrow
By John M Lennon
With each tear that rolls down my face
It's still you that can not be replaced 
So it's here I sit and wait
Knowing it is tomorrow I have to face
But to start the day without your embrace
It's really fear that I have to face

Holding You Tonight

Holding You Tonight

By John M Lennon

The grind of everyday life. 
But I want you to know I still love you each night.  
So it's forever I hold you tight, 
Knowing nothing could be this right.  
So even though… I might not always let it show, 
Tonight I want you to know. 
It's you I adore… 
And will love for a million nights more. 

Last Thing Wrote

Last Thing Wrote 
By John M Lennon
Suicide note 
Last thing wrote
My words of what I wish are your hope 
But it's here the last things I wrote
Because I no longer held you close 
But it's the words 
I love you that have meant the most
Now as I close this letter 
I want you to know 
It's my pillow as you... 
As I take this last moment too choke
Because of the words I just wrote

Kiss And A Hug

Kiss And A Hug 
by John M Lennon
Something more for you 
This is what I could no longer do
Seeing every wall I ran into 
When it has been every mountain I climbed for you 
Here I am in a lonely valley of truth 
Wishing I could be next to you 
But one hundred miles more than I could do 
I'm no longer with you 
Still there's a love I want to prove is true 
But no longer for me or you 
I send my love 
And this last letter 
With a final kiss and a hug

Missing Today

Missing Today
By John M Lennon
I have said everything that can be said, 
So the Lord has carried me off to bed
This is my final resting place 
So it's here that I wait
Always with a kiss and a hug, 
But now it's through one anothers love
Forget the days of pain 
And know that there are no more days with rain
For sunshine has filled my days 
And the Lord has taken all my pain away
So it's here that I wait for you today, 
And nothing can take that away

Stirred

Stirred
By John M Lennon
A talent with words
But it's my emotions that are stirred
Now wrapped around…
Every thought that's profound
I see myself falling down
Trying to pick myself up off the ground
In this new place I have found
As I turn to look around
It's your hand reaching down
So now it's on your shoulder I can be found
Letting go of everything that's got me down 

Thankful

Thankful 
By John M Lennon
My words have set me free 
Being all I can be
But it's here alone I stand
Trying to figure out what steps are right 
To become a man
Because it was always without your helping hand
But I now see where I am 
And I am thankful, that God dealt me this hand
Because it's here I stand 
A man thankful for all I am 

That Guy

That Guy 
by John M Lennon
That guy 
I want to be that guy for you 
The one you open your heart too
But it's me without a clue
Trying to figure out what to do 
As I stumble over everything I thought I knew
But it's as I look at you 
Something so true
I just wish you knew
Because then you would know
I love you too

That Much More

That Much More
By John M Lennon 
One hundred times more 
Then the lifetime we have in store
Still with you the only woman I could love or adore
It's with every moment I wish for more
Just so I can love you that much more

This Note

This Note
By John M Lennon
With each tear my pillow soaks up
It's one more word from you that chokes me up
So as I read this note
I remember holding you close
And now the words I should have spoke 
Are the ones that I have wrote
Still wishing it was you I got to hold close
Because to me you meant the most 
But now it's only this pillow and this note

Washed Away

Washed Away
by John M. Lennon
Washed away with each drop of rain today, 
Still in loneliness I lay
All because the pain... of that,
Your last day
What more can I say
You left me in the selfishness of your ways
So here I am today 
Trying to follow your path 
And the darkness in which you left me,
That day

Forever Today

Forever Today


Cold to the touch 
But I never felt so much 
You went away on that day 
Now I see you resting forever... 
Today 
Sad to say goodbye 
And as I let go... 
I cry

My Thanks


My Thanks
 by John M. Lennon


With our flag flying in the air
It's at every flicker and snap 
I stare
Knowing the life's lost 
For me to be standing right here
Now with a tear rolling down my face
It's you again 
I have to thank

Darkened Mind


Darkened Mind 
By John M Lennon
Darkness in this poets mind
With every word that's wrote you'll hear a rhyme 
But it's not about that this time 
It's about the pain that is shed, with every word I've said 
But there's still a whisper in my head
Knowing there are words that have been left unsaid 
So as you take a moment to read this note
Put yourself in this place 
Were these last few words have been wrote
And you will see the darkness that hurts the most
As I walk away with this the last thing to say
But I didn't today, so you can see the darkness 
In which I now lay

Darkness


Darkness 
By John M Lennon
To sit and write about this darkness in my life
Never able to say goodnight
Because I know I am your last beacon of light
And without me what would guide you right,
For the rest of your life
So it's just about the darkness I write
Because that's one way I know how to fight
And never give into this darkness that has become my life

Growing Old

Growing Old 
By John M Lennon
A beautiful autumn glow
As the trees turn to a gold 
Snow falling so slow 
Seeing the flickering in your eyes 
Love now has a reason why 
Growing old 
Every word is for you 
But you never knew why
Here alone but only to ask 
Is this the life you dreamed about in the past 
And have I gave you every thing 
You could have ever asked 
As it is the goal I set out to pass 
To make this love forever last 

Just Words


Just Words 
By John M Lennon
To the artless deaf and blind
Thinking one word will lead too another 
And start to rhyme
It's here I poured out my heart with time 
Showing you it is a art with words, 
That my pain has become divine
Set as shadow's 
Darkness in my mind
Only able to read 
What I have wrote this time
And not really able to see 
The pain with each tear of mine
And you think it is just words that I rhyme

Lost In Time


Lost In Time
By John M Lennon
The words I write
Trying to out live my life
Thoughts imprinted in time
One last rhyme, for all of time 
But whispering I die 
Words falling onto the deaf ears of the blind 
So as these words are now just a thought... 
Lost in time 
I have no way to out live 
what I have made mine 

Loving Goodnight

Loving Goodnight
By John M. Lennon
Writings about my life
And the darkness there was each night
Then I saw the twinkle in your eye's 
The only star...
In my dark night sky 
Thanking the good lord as I pray
Knowing he has blessed me today
It's with you, by my side
A beautiful wife
Up holding the promise I made that day
Forever getting to hold you tight
Now turning to you I say
I love you and goodnight

More Than Time

More Than Time
By John M. Lennon
Frozen in time 
These tears are mine
With each word to do more than rhyme 
I want you to feel the pain 
From which I have learned to shine
Now looking back to unwind 
Seeing that I have made this mine 
And it was with each moment 
Even if it was from the shadow's I had to shine
Just know I will do more next time
To help you from the cold
From which I have learned to climb
On this new mountain I have made mine
Now willing to share all the sunshine
Just so you know 
It is here for you all of the time
