A Poet's Blog: Away

A Poet's Blog: Away: Away By John M Lennon  A tear that won't go away  But today I cried my last tear  Words left with nothing to say  The anger...

Away

Away

By John M Lennon 

A tear that won't go away 

But today I cried my last tear 

Words left with nothing to say 

The anger, fear and doubt... all but too clear 

Sorrows as this pages soaks up the last things I will say 

All with the wrinkles in the page

You saw it all as I walked away

Beautiful Life

Beautiful Life 

By John M Lennon 

I got this girl 

This one I love 

She lays next to me in bed 

And she is always with me in my dreams 

Mornings bring, waking in her arms 

Her beautiful eyes the first thing I see 

A light I always want there to be, her grace and smile next to me 

So here is the promise I make to her today

I will always be here to love, kiss and cherish her in every way 

Respect, care and always say 

The love I have for her in every way 

Lifting her up, and wiping away any tears and or fears 

For this girl I love will one day be my wife 

And together we will share a beautiful life

For Me

For Me 

By John M Lennon 

The world through your eyes 

As pictures are scattered on the floor 

Memories of times darkened from before 

Looking to outlast 

Now it's the echos of your laugh 

So now as the sun shines bright 

Even the cool breeze of the night 

I see the beauty you would always see 

As it is everything in front of me 

All captured sights you use to see 

All left for me 

Capturing Our Moments

Capturing Our Moments 

By John M Lennon

Now that I lay you down to rest 

With sweet dreams I wish you are blessed

When you wake it's time that is the test 

But with my love I'll help you capture  

Every moment that is next 

Whispered Words

Whispered Words 

By John M Lennon 

The world at a stand still 

Looking into your eyes... words I can only feel 

Speechless you left me, right there 

Staring back at you 

Never feeling more alive as the world just drifted by 

At the end of a deep breath, a sigh 

The next three words to change my life

Each day now spent by your side 

Showing you all the love I feel inside 

The words whispered ringing true 

The whispered words I love you 

Every Reason

Every Reason 

By John M Lennon

And then…

This is where our love story begun 

I looked at you with lust in my eyes 

Falling asking myself why 

But it was as you cradled me with each foot I fell

Head over heels but only you could tell 

Muffled words but I could still see it in your eyes 

No words no lies 

Just every reason why 

My Everything

My Everything 

By John M Lennon 

In the empty space of your heart 

I wish to fill the dark 

To let all my love I have for you inside

Where can the healing begin 

Is it with my touch, to your soft skin 

Every word for you till my end 

I will hold you every moment till then 

All because you are my everything 

Forever and again 

Still

Still 

By John M Lennon

Hatred of the lust of lost love

Each thought, every missed hug 

To look at you through lost eyes 

Every tear I seem to cry 

Words to escape my mind 

To fall onto the ears of the deaf and blind 

As I see no more evil and hear no lies 

It's here at peace in my own mind 

I can still feel you cry 

True Love

True Love 

By John M Lennon

A muse in the maze of my mind 

Words you thought I would never say 

But I spun them around, showing you them each day 

Creating a web of warmth

Love wrapped all around 

Never to let you fall down 

More then a friend to you 

I am your lover to the end  

Now it's forever that I hold you 

And show each day my love is true 

Truly True

Truly True  

By John M Lennon 

Words to set me free 

My mind is the only thing capturing me 

Held back by the thoughts of you 

Held back but not knowing what is truly true 

Lost in the maze of my own mind 

Each word shouts but no longer can they rhyme 

Seeing You

Seeing You 

By John M Lennon

One last breath 

Wind from my lungs 

Last words I will gasp 

The love I have for you 

Every moment I held true 

Every last moment as I see you 

Just Here

Just Here 

By John M Lennon

Drinking to ease the pain 

But when I wake up, will it all still be the same?

Questions left, drowning in the tears of this pain  

Surpassing the failures of yesterday 

Only a dream

As it's still just here... 

Tonight

Tonight

By John M Lennon 

The words I write 

The feelings I have each night 

Words which breathe me life 

Missing you with the last flip of this switch 

The lights to dim, all my thoughts to begin 

Sleepless, endless night 

Cutting into this pain I see the end 

A light that warms, as it touches my skin 

Pain from which I won't cry again 

All as tonight is my end 

One More

One More 

By John M Lennon 

Missing you.

How to say goodbye. 

I can now only cry. 

Words and moments there where not enough.

Wishing for so much more. 

One hour, one goodnight, one I love you more. 

So now with the tears rolling down my face. 

I will remember your embrace.

And on this day for you. 

I look up and say, it's you I miss.

And will always love.

Finally Saying Goodnight

Finally Saying Goodnight 

By John M Lennon 

Waking to another day 

Still in the darkness I lay 

No words to say, only sadness to flood my day 

Lost looking to find my way 

But I've gone to far today 

So as I pass I think of ways to say goodbye 

But no words to come out right 

I just let these tears continue to flood my life 

As I finally get to say goodnight 

Back Again

Back Again 

By John M Lennon 

Words, my window to the past 

Standing here only able to look back 

Times that have now forever past 

Letting go, always being able to look back 

A friendship forged a love I fought for 

An endless time... back when 

Memories to bring you back again 

Living the life and love of then 

But it's still only here I can stand 

Wanting you back again 

I've Cried

I've Cried 

By John M Lennon 

My rhymes just aren't the same 

Blurred words as I look through all this pain 

One to lead me past 

And then the next to pull me right back 

It's the tug of war in my mind 

Each battle lost and won 

Endless in my mind 

Blank as I wake up, tears in my eyes 

Now I know it's each word I have cried 

Live With That

Live With That 

By John M Lennon

Not a matter in your mind 

Thoughts of me to which you are blind

To the back burner I will go 

Waiting for your call even though I was the one to always show 

But as I sit here and wait 

The things I don't want to see, become so clear to me 

But I am ending that road  

As it is you now that will learn to play my way 

All is fair in love and war 

But to you I gave so much more 

As you where the only one I could love or adore 

But to you I was less then that 

Now how was I too live with that

Every Step

Every Step 

By John M Lennon 

To look at you 

Only seeing the truth in you 

A target on which my eyes are set

What words will I choose next

The ones that pull you in

Ones that never let go or show an end 

This is the love I will commit too 

The words I choose, as I held on to you 

Every test met and fought 

Never giving into a loss 

So as it is next to you today that I stand 

Remember the words I chose to say as I held you that day 

An know I will always relive that day as long as it's next to you I lay 

So it's a I love you each and every day 

And every step along the way 

All That I'm Going To Need

All That I'm Going To Need 

By John M Lennon 

What has this world become 

You as a father I was lost at step one

No guidance to lead me right 

Every swing and a miss 

No father to push me through the bitterness 

Now as I look at you, I see only what I want too 

Someone that missed out 

Even without a father, look how I turned out 

Every bump in the road made me look back and find myself alone 

But that's when I reached deep inside and found the strength that is me to survive 

So the pat on my back is to and from me the only person in my life that I'm going to need 

Looking To You

Looking To You 

By John M Lennon 

Lost at step one 

The only father I knew, a faith that has not yet grown true 

Your foot prints washed away, turning to look back 

A feeling of loneliness

Looking for you 

When it was me in doubt it was you the only one I could think about 

But on the high end of low I forgot how to look to you, on which direction to go 

So I tried to build my own road 

Bumps an cracks, they all washed out

At the top of my lungs I would scream and shout 

And even then you would answer me like I was your only son 

Setting me back on the right track 

Rough roads ahead but only if I try to conquer them on my own again 

Stories To Never End

Stories To Never End 

By John M Lennon 

One year it's been how I've missed my best friend 

Memories are not enough because without you there is no talking about us

Laughing as kids, Playing our stereo's loud once again 

Bike rides rode, turning to motorcycles when we became that reckless age 

Fun times I now remember as you left me to get old 

Stories I still brag about start and end with you 

Still best memories of more then a friend 

It was you my brother to the end

Just wish we had longer with you 

And more memories with you so these stories would never end  

Had So Much

Had So Much 

By John M Lennon 

The last place we will meet 

You grazing your hand across my cold cheek 

Whispering the only words you wish I could still speak

There but so far away 

Each tear to say goodbye 

Don't worry, this is the last time I will make you cry 

Roses laying on my chest, lowering me to rest 

Words you won't soon forget but will always regret 

Ashes to ashes dust to dust 

As this love ended but still had so much 

You

You 

By John M Lennon 

Every word and wish ever said 

Every dream that ends before my day can begin 

Each thought that begins and ends with you 

Every time I kiss and hold onto you 

Know each one would be nothing without you 

Because I love you means nothing 

Without... You 

Already Past

Already Past 

By John M Lennon 

Lost in a whirlwind of emotions 

Each thought confronted asking myself 

What it is that I should do 

Do I fight for what I feel is true 

Or does that just make me a fool for you 

So the question is asked is this love meant to last 

Or has our time already past 

When I Knew

When I Knew 

By John M Lennon 

Every dream held on too 

Every word as I thought about you 

Wishes I never thought could come true 

Then I found it all as I held onto you 

So now it's a dream everyday 

Every word I hear you say 

Every look my way 

And it all started that day 

When I looked deep inside those pretty brown eyes 

No words, no lies 

But that's when I really knew 

It was you I would forever love and hold onto 

Dreams In My Head

Dreams In My Head 

By John M Lennon

A dream in my head 

Every word and wish I ever said 

Now it's as we lay in our bed 

I can see no word could be as true, 

Or as beautiful as you 

And this love I now hold onto

No Longer

No Longer 

By John M Lennon 

Heart pounding fast 

Words with which I use to relax 

Can now not even get me past 

So it's my reactions as I look back at 

Trying to figure out how to get past 

The pain the rips me inside 

Every reason, word and day with which I try 

None to which you are at fault

But I pushed it upon you with the way I wrote 

Now I see why we are no longer close 

Forever Last

Forever Last 

By John M Lennon 

The day and the life of a man 

That one day had your heart and held your hand 

But walked into your life without a plan 

So it's here today I can say I am drawing the blue prints to get past 

Pouring the foundation to forever last 

It all started as I got past

Every thing I let hold me back as it was your light that helped me see past 

The shadows this dark had cast 

And it all started when I heard your laugh 

Now it's every moment but our last 

Because with your beauty in my eyes 

This love will forever last 

Hope And Pray

Hope And Pray 

By John M Lennon 

A happiness that starts with you 

Holding, kissing having something I know is true 

Real love I now believe in because of you 

Not just words to say, It's the defining moments that make me feel this way 

So each time I look in your eyes 

Each time we kiss and close our eyes

Still it's a surprise when I open them to you 

And your beauty that I now hold on to

As I hope and pray I will for the rest of my days 

Remembering You

Remembering You 

By John M Lennon 

Tears still wet with pain

Remembering that day

Wishing I could hold you close

Remembering each word you spoke

Your love the truest of the true

Always spoken words of love from you

Still missing every moment I could spend with you

Remembering the son I was too you

Just wishing I still had you

Making up for the heart ache and pain

Only words onto myself I can blame 

Selfless thoughts from you still remain

But it's in your arms a comfort I wish was still here today

As that would be an outlet for all this pain and shame

The End

The End 

By John M Lennon 

From the outside looking in 

Can you comprehend the pain I have been in 

Each prayer for help 

Is another word I scream and shout

Trying to get all this pain out 

But it's as the world turns around 

Day and night still it's this pain I fight 

Not seeing the end to this pain I am in 

Or ever being able to hold you again 

So my only feeling is the end 

Hold On Too

Hold On Too 

By John M Lennon

Every second and moment held on to 

Every thing that's right then I knew 

Looking into your eyes through and through 

I knew it was you and this love that has come true 

So words spoken true 

Only looking at you 

And this love I now hold on too 

All That Is You

All That Is You 

By John M Lennon 

Too many words to write 

So it's my actions that I will let speak tonight 

Arms holding you tight 

Warmth, comfort in my life 

Now looking at you 

Words the only thing I know as true 

I love you means more when I am looking at you 

But it still does not seem like enough 

For all that is you 

Pain Today

Pain Today 

By John M Lennon 

Each missed hug today 

Every word I miss hearing from you

Pounding my chest 

A heart beat that won't rest 

Every word wrote 

Waiting for your next words to be spoke 

But here I wait today 

Still hanging on the words I use to hear you say 

With nothing new today

I am still waiting in pain in every way 

Blue Prints

Blue Prints 

By John M Lennon 

The day and the life of a man 

That one day had your heart and held your hand 

But walked into your life without a plan 

So it's here today I can say I am drawing the blue prints to get past 

Pouring the foundation to forever last 

It all started as I got past

Every thing I let hold me back as it was your light that helped me see past 

The shadows this dark had cast 

And it all started when I heard your laugh 

Now it's every moment but our last 

Because with your beauty in my eyes 

This love will forever last 

Grant Me This Wish

Grant Me This Wish 

By John M Lennon 

God please grant me this wish 

This wish I wish 

The wish of true love 

Each hug and kiss 

And with this wish I wish 

I wish all the happiness to the woman that answers this wish 

As together we raise a daughter and son 

Another blessing I have won 

Now the meaning of true love 

I will not forget as you have bless me with this

Wish I wished 

So every late sleepless night 

I'll be there to comfort kiss and hold my family tight 

Just like you did for me on that night 

When I wished this wish that gave me all this happiness 

Shining Through

Shining Through 

By John M Lennon 

Every moment held onto 

Every last thought, 

But never to forget you 

Words my heart already knew 

Now the words I whisper as I hold onto what's really true 

You and this love that will always shine through 

All Fucked Up

All Fucked Up 

By John M Lennon

Chased too far 

With every word I said 

I went too far 

Cherishing a love that was not yet true 

Walking away I just lost you 

Running after you 

Not wanting to give this up 

And that's when it all got fucked up 

Washed Away

Washed Away 

By John M Lennon 

Darkness of my mind

Felt only with the words you think make me shine 

But look deep inside 

You will see then that the happiness is all lies 

Truth is now told 

Closing in with no where to go 

I can finally feel the real cold 

Lost as much as I am alone 

Heart frozen in time

It's now the comfort of home 

As I washed this pain away for all of time 

Fell Into

Fell Into 

By John M Lennon 

A beauty that can compare to you 

But nothing goes as deep 

Or is as true, as the beauty that is you 

And it's as I looked deep inside, those pretty brown eyes 

My words could only be lies 

Because day or night 

Words could not describe what I see that lays deep inside 

But it's a beauty I see each night, 

Every time I pull you in, 

Kissing… holding you tight 

Now it's the wish I make each night 

Too always have you and this love that has come true 

The beauty that is you and this love I have fell into 

Holding On Too You

Holding On Too You 

By John M Lennon

A beauty from within 

Just beneath your skin 

A light from within 

I see it as I look into your eyes 

More then a kiss tonight 

I want to hold you for the rest of my life

Mistakes made and forgave 

Always to look at you the same way 

Through the love I have cried

Each tear a reason why 

So it's as I hold onto you tonight

I know this love is true 

And every reason I am still holding on too you 

Always

Always 

By John M Lennon 

Written in your eyes 

A love that tells no lies

Here we lay as I hold you close 

Soft words now are forever spoke 

As I run my fingers through your hair 

Brushing away all your worries and fears

Showing you I am the one that truly cares

And that I will always be here  

All My Life Has Meant

All My Life Has Meant 

By John M Lennon

I've fought

I've chased 

I've dreamed

But yet none of that matters, as much as you and me 

Sitting down, writing transcribing my life 

Good, bad, ups and downs 

Heart has been filled with sorrow, even on the highest of ground 

Even as I have been lifted this high among the birds, I still wish I could fly 

Because it's the crashing down that always seems to turn my world around 

So as I dig this deep dark hole 

Can I ask you one favor, before letting go 

Will you hold my hand one last time, 

Looking into my eyes like you use too all the time 

Tell me of the love I had for all of time 

That is all I will need to be put to rest 

Just know I lived my life with regret 

Hell without heaven as you all sing

This is all my life now means

Whispered

Whispered 

By John M Lennon 

The story of our love 

Sown into the fabric that's every kiss and hug 

Every bat of your eyes 

Every time I hear you sigh 

Making the words I whisper come true 

Words of love whispered to you 

Sands Of Our Time

Sands Of Our Time 

By John M Lennon

Crushed crying man 

Looking in the mirror 

Feeling the pouring sands, from my hands 

My time now slipping away 

Just like you, and my love held true that day 

Now it's every way I look 

But it was the last one that really took 

It was looking into your eyes, with each tear you cried 

As we said our goodbyes 

And that is the sands that slipped through my hands 

Always Get Through

Always Get Through 

By John M Lennon

A mirrored picture of truth 

A defeated man staring back at me 

Every struggle I've fought through 

Every dream crushed that I held onto 

Now it's the every thought of losing you 

Giving me the strength to pull through 

Showing you that I am the man that will 

Always get through 

My Own End

My Own End 

By John M Lennon 

Broken and weak 

Rising from the ashes, words I speak 

The rein in my hand 

Speaking the truth of who I really am 

Listen to the words softly spoken

It is from them I receive my strength 

As it was you I held on to and faced 

These fears where then embraced 

Knowing the evil that is deep within 

Devils advocate played even as a friend 

Rising to the challenge

I rise higher then the low 

These ashes ever could have taken me 

Or the promise of my own end 

In My Sight

In My Sight 

By John M Lennon 

Every dream I've held on too 

Every word as I thought of you 

Here nothing seems as true as that look, 

Deep inside as I held on to you 

So every day and any night 

It's always you in my sights 

With the love I describe as me and you 

And every moment I hold on too 

Letting Go

Letting Go 

By John M Lennon

Shadows demons lurking in the dark 

Heart ripped... torn apart 

Death now a welcomed blow 

It's the light to this life and love… 

I'm letting go 

Forever Held On Too

Forever Held On Too  

By John M Lennon 

Every dream held on too 

Every word as I thought about you 

Wishes I never thought could come true

Then I found it all as I held onto you 

So now it's a dream every day 

Every word I hear you say 

Every look my way 

And it all started that day 

When I looked deep inside those pretty brown eyes

No words, No lies 

But that's when I knew it was you 

I would forever love and hold on too 

Fell Into

Fell Into 

By John M Lennon

A beauty that can compare to you 

But nothing goes as deep or is as true,

As the beauty I see in you 

And it's as I looked inside those pretty brown eyes 

My words could only be lies 

Because day or night words could not describe 

What I see that lies deep inside

But it's a beauty I see each night, 

Every time I pull you in,

Kissing and holding you tight 

Now it's the wish I make each night 

Too always have you and this love that has come true 

And the beauty that is you and this love that I have fell into 

Letting Go

Letting Go

By John M Lennon 

Dead to me 

An inside I can no longer feel or see

Deep dark hole 

Emotions but with no where to go 

Lost as I drown 

Every word to surround, 

This feeling as I fall down 

Alone an with no one around 

In the depth of this dark 

I hear no sound 

Heart racing 

Visioned slowed 

Light blinding

As I let go 

From You

From You 

By John M Lennon 

To the left of center 

Each word I struggle to get past 

Remembering more then just your laugh 

It's here I rewind and go back 

Things I can never have back 

The comfort of your love 

Each one of your hugs 

The words spoken soft and true 

The only mother I ever knew 

Loving me no matter what I would do

That's the love I miss from you
