This poem reminded me of a song by Massive Attack so I named it after their song ("Unfinished Sympathy.")
Broken and scarred
Blessed oils heal
Label attached
Invisible words

You,
go ahead
push open the gates
they're not locked
they're waiting for you
You,
who years ago
betrayed me with a kiss
a lie, cheated and lay with her
You,
look in the mirror
and heal thyself . . . more

Inspired by one of my favorite songs, "Deep Water" by Seal
It's in the very darkness
Where you'll find the silence
Many times it is welcoming
Other times it is deafening . . . more

I walked in
lacking expectation.
But there you were,
finally,
looking in my direction.
I needed to see into
your clouded window,
recognize who sits
on your dusty throne.
When our eyes met,

I saw your dreams falling
and caught them with my heart
heard your fears calling
watched you come apart
Let me hold your dreams for you
while you rebuild your strength
Tomorrow you can start anew . . . more

My heart is aching
There's so much I want to say
But there's really nothing to say
Because it won't change anything
And at the end of the day
I'm feeling empty and frustrated . . . more

you arrive in disguise,
no longer vague,
your nakedness lost in
a sweep of black.
your honesty rips me
out of my head
and when i snap back,
if I could breathe,
i would scream your name.
i want . . . more

Many years have passed us by
Honey I have heard your sigh
They say a man ain' t suppose to cry
I miss you so much I could die
Every dog has his . . . more

note: this is a pure, unadulterated ramble. by no means a finished poem, but more of an expectoration of words that were choking me, thoughts that needed release. shit, i couldn't even think of . . . more

For years I heard a promising voice,
More than a figment of my imagination,
My mind’s magnificent creation,
There was hope in the voice,
That some day,

Until the flower blooms
Until the eagle soars
Until the heavens rain
Waiting for the right moment
Words left unspoken
Feelings unexpressed
Questions unanswered
Love unrequitted
Separate paths . . . more

This is an ode I composed about Okinawa, Japan. My former residence, my wife's birthplace and the home of our hearts.
In mystic lands far—Far East
Tropic of Cancer mapped.
Where wind . . . more

Transience
A rose, a candle, and
A single smile
Are all alike
They're just for awhile
But just for awhile
Is why they are here
They mean so much more
Like a single tear

My first haikus! Honest critique, please...but bear in mind it's my first try!
Anyway, from what I hear, it's best to write about what you know, so...
Hoofbeats and heartbeats, . . . more

Love in the Little Things.
We don't have a great big mansion
our house needs a lot of repairs,
We don't drive a fancy limo
Just some old ones in need of some care
We . . . more

That summer I'd found the rabbit lying in the road, hit by a car, its legs broken; he couldn't be saved. Yet, I had to try.
I knew the marriage couldn't be saved. Yet, I had to try.
I called . . . more

I loved a man once.
He told me my scent reminded him
Of the smell of the breeze as he dove
From a rope swing
Into a Pennsylvania river
On a hot summer's day in his youth.
I think that . . . more

Love,
It is a slow process.
Sometimes you don't even know it happens ,until it does.
It starts out with two peoplle, being friends.
Then it escalates into a deeper, more meaningful passion.

You're beautiful, pure light
You're luminous, so strong
Inside and out
You carry me
Endlessly
You're tall
And dark
And yet the brightest soul I've seen
Your smile

In my search for light
there was only
the darkest night
It lasted for 30years
Love present
a rocky hill
I cried a river of tears
You my love
have been gone to long
Where shall I start
you destroyed our . . . more
