Best Beside Poems

Beside the sea I wait~
the dreamy dawn to shine
and paint horizon's hue
in tawny, taupe and teal
unveiling vivid view.

Beside the sea I wait~
the early birds in flight
arching like tiara 
making sky a painting 
of placid aurora.

Beside the sea I wait~
the whisper of the breeze
soaring as sunshine...

she stands beside the sea
a tear escapes, runs down her face
melancholy comes to embrace
the past won’t set her free
lost love decays without a trace

A shadow walks
beside me
in the sun—
faithful companion,
mimicking my every move. 

Through the
decades of my life,
I scarcely noticed
little changes
in his form. 

He seems just  
a bit shorter now
and stooped slightly
at the waist—moving
slower than before. 

Now I find he is
also not so near
and one hand mimicks

I lived in a beautiful valley, beside a quiet stream
It was a place I escaped to when I needed to dream
surrounded by the tallest mountains in the world,
so I believed when I had been an innocent little girl

Pure until he walked down from the mountain...

just lay here beside me
where the lillies talk to the orange sky
and the evening wind titters all around the place....

Why don't we escape 
         all the chaos
    in this noisy world?
        For a fistful of 
     precious moments,

On a grassy bank beside a trickling stream
I view her ebony locks of which I've dreamed

Naked she is bathing in translucent crystal clear
As I long for her shapes to shadow me near

This short distance between us in natures surround
For soon we will be in clinch...

You can walk a thousand miles barefoot and seal your soul for all eternity, you can walk a thousand miles barefoot even when the blistering sands of time comes upon you, even with the blistering winds of time tries to stop you. Your strength is...

  let me find
      let me stay
in this wonderful
           hideaway
where the murmur of
   waters rushing gently
  is ablaze with flowers

With waves of gold locks falling down
around her shoulders prettily,
a woman sits in a silk gown.
Alone is she beside the sea.

Deep longing in her starts to stir.
She sits, arms round bent knees as she
recalls his arms enwrapping her.
Alone is she beside the sea.

Out to the...

As I lie beside you
I look at you sleeping
The twinkling of candle’s golden light
The sound of the clock down the hall
Chimes in another hour
A melodic tone in an otherwise silent night
Your smile shows that you are in another world
What are you dreaming?
Maybe I don’t want...

Beside Still Waters

Beside still waters you refresh my soul
After crossing the desert, you renew my thirsty heart
Beside your still waters I will find a cooling shade
In your aspen grove washed by gentle rains.

I come to your quiet waters nourished by your love
In the shadow of...

I want to be
your shadow 
to walk beside you 
just so I can catch you 
should you
stumble
and fall...

I love the way he wants me.
He kisses my lips as if it’s the last time he’ll taste me,
like the last drop of water on a hot summer’s day.
His thirst is never quenched.

Dazed and confused, I emerge from a wonderland,
unsure of where or what or...

Dear Love, I Would

Your lips would make, 
For a gentle kiss
Your arms would make 
For the perfect hug. 

Your hand would make, 
A perfect fit for mine
You're the one I would love
To have beside me now.

You're the one I want, 
To share my heart and...
