Darkness I Fight


Darkness I Fight 

By John M Lennon

The words I write 
Challenging my mind as I fight 
But here they unite 
As its pen to pad in this darkness I fight 
Seeing the rhythm to the rhyme 
Each word wrote as it is my time to shine 
Out smarted only by the confidence I lack
But here I am fighting right back 

Walking Away


Walking Away 

By John M Lennon

Heart broken, still in love 
Left with no one to hug 
This is now the story from which I wish to unplug 
Heart filled with pain 
My tear's pouring like rain 
Soaking the pages written each day 
Burning of the words you left me with that day 
Now only trying to look the other way 
All but lost, when I fell for you that day 
Now the only thought is you slowly walking away

Lost Fight


Lost Fight

By John M Lennon 

Letting go 
Blow for blow 
How much further can I go 
Darkest just before the dawn 
Twenty third hour is what I'm working on  
The Suns warmth, A comfort in my life
Needing just that flicker of light
Wanting to be alright
Seeing the end to this dark night
Slashing at the pain 
I feel a new warmth that stains 
The light becomes so bright 
Seeing what I have done to my own life 
Leaving with… 
One, lost fight

His Road


His Road 

By John M Lennon 

A long drive 
A whisper as the wind whips by 
The cross roads of my heart 
Every mile and memory 
The curves of the road up ahead 
Chasing the sight of you in the high beams 
Singing the songs I sang to you till the end 
So as the tires roar on the road and the rain falls 
Its like the crying of my heart after letting go 
Now all I can do is chase 
Hoping to find the answer to all this pain 
But a million miles I have drove 
With the answers still eluding me on which way to go 
It's the steering wheel I let go 
Letting the Lord take me down his road

Our Story


Our Story 

By John M Lennon

Rags to riches as this lust to love story begins 
Looking at you, wanting more then just friends 
Knowing where each other had been 
Starting out slow this, love would soon grow 
Uncontrollable at times 
Lost in the blinding speed that is life 
Loosing sight of what was the reality of our time 
Each moment leading to the next
Caught in a whirlwind that has made our live's a mess 
With nothing more left to show, then this paper filled with the pain of letting go 
You read this aday too late 
And it's from every second this moment will take

I Am



I Am

By John M Lennon

Contemplating the life I live
Questioning not only what, but who I am
Lost in the dismay
Looking for an out, only knowing one way
Shutting my eyes, looking the other way
Losing the fight… no strength to carry on for even one more day
This is my goodbye
I gave it all
Now I’m just walking away

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
