Best Sympathylonging Poems
A red rose
on the page
of my age
imitating the dance
of morning wind, as it ripples
my spirits in waiting
Smell the breath
of youth and pass it unto her
the light of time
for when yours dim
you shall enjoy hers, glowing
on a sun-kissed stone
Carve love that you’ve never tried
freeing it, from the pocket of your thoughts
on this red rose, longing for a grasp
‘Tis alone wish
of a lonely heart
and if the wind can hear it...
why can’t you?
Oceans divide us but I can feel the throbbing,
of his heart where sadness is now dwelling
His trembling lips whispering a sweet smile,
but his eyes betraying a sorrow and heavy sigh.
My fingers longing to reach and touch his hand
and to share with the loneliness of this man
It pains me here that I am helpless somehow
when I want is to stand next to him right now.

Author's Note:
I have written this short poem for someone special.
I'd like to express through this that I was with him
at times that he was deeply mourning. I thought
of sending this to him but I never did. He may or may
not be able to read this at all. I will leave it to fate.
With the L.O.V.E.
Teri
Dance in the darkness, my sweetest nocturne
While the trees swing their billowing arms round
And you sing to the sky without a sound
To shake from slumber, each flower and fern.
You call to each shadow with hungry eyes
Penetrating each ghost hidden in leaves.
An aching, longing sigh for what you’ve seen
Always rooted beneath the vacant sky.
The Earth spins around underneath my feet
But your loneliness kept me bound to land.
Caught deep in your world, captive right in hand,
But we need each other to feel complete.
With voices so raw we can’t even speak;
Even if they could hear, we would still seek.
