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
Between . . .

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 . . .

Just when you get comfortable
Things then begin to change
Right side up and upside down
Your life feels rearranged
With expectations out of sync
Feelings put in to question
It's . . .

She slinks through the night
Looking for her next lover
Underlying desperation
Is what you'd uncover
She needs variety
A soul that she can claim
It's not about love
To her it's . . .

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 . . .

Wood and leaves
Candle burning
White chilled abandon
Repartee
Playful kiss
Prelude to the dance
Tongues entwined
Fingers clasped
Beneath blue and white
Spoon and slumber . . .

Where is the honesty?
It seems so passe
It's been cast aside
By those who betray
Importance ignored
By those we trust
Is it a lie
If it's never discussed?
An outright . . .

Feeling restless
There must be something better
They say the grass is always greener
On the other side
Parties in LA
New Year's Day on the sea
Shopping Michigan Avenue
Broadway . . .

Your world caves in
Around you
Within you
The pain too palpable
To face
To fight
Embracing the dark
Surrendering
Relenting
Blind to those
Who love
Who care
And bring you light
To give . . .

I have to give props to Will Evans who unknowlingly gave me the idea for this poem-he had me in tears yesterday (the laughing kind).
Secret rendenvous
Sex, hot and steamy
Old enough . . .

Five falls have passed
Five winters
Five springs
And five summers
I've seen five birthdays
Five Easters
Five Thanksgivings
and Five Christmas Eves
It's been five years . . .

The landscape looms
With some contrast
No hues of blue
For ocean and sky
No use for color
In a world so defined
No unneccesary distractions
No creative juices flow
Right side atrophy
Shrivels . . .

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 . . .

City lights shine through the darkness of night
Alighting the room through glass and sheer white
My heart begins to flutter when you enter the room
You kiss me softly, long and sweet
I pull you . . .

I wave goodbye
Thinking this is the last time
And as much as I hope it is
Really for my sanity more than anything
I know better
I can not forget you
Push as hard as I might
Replace your face with . . .

Will you love me
When our eyes meet across a crowded room
And you see the sparkle of my green eyes taking you in?
When we hold hands as I lay my head on your shoulder
As we watch the sun . . .

Catching up
Here and there
Smile. Hug. Kiss
Holding me
Laying next to me
Having your way with me
Rest. Repeat. Walk away.
Door shuts
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of luck
Out . . .

The frigid air chilled to the bone
Leaves with their colors gone by
Become a dry, brown blanket
Covering what was once a carpet of the richest green
Boats rock on white capped waves
Lifeless vessels . . .

Your words come in spurts
After a pause for thought
Or maybe it's just effect
Falling from your lips
Like soft rain drops
I know you believe
But these words, these words are a paradox . . .

Icy blue mirror
Quiet reflection
With each breath
Cold crystal mist
Grandfather pines
Snowy blankets
Northern exposure
Where silence echoes
