Sitting By the Riverside
I walk down a trail off the beaten path
Contemplating life’s equations, trying to solve its math
I sit down by the riverside, the breeze blowing through my hair
I find rest on a slab of stone, using it as a chair

I sit alone in the woods and...

Riverside, the house
had long windows,
the sort you step outside

My reflection from the outside,
and if I really stared
I could see into the rooms.

Chairs mainly,
with old Alzheimer people
waiting to die

Occasionally they would see me staring,
and would wave gregariously
from another age

Riverside Beauty
Riverside,
I was wonder how anglers do sleep on sandy at the riverside
One time in my life, I try when I was ten year as trying it
At my best though it is was not easily
I slept while my hands are on my ears
I fear sand entering...

Riverside Blues
I knew a fellow Locked in his own mind
Everything around him was colorblind
  The right places 
  The right faces.
Were the only correct things he could find?...

Walk Along the Riverside
As we walk along the riverside 
A sound of the innocences of melody 
The waters that sing to the naked ear 
The colour of finest crystal sparkles to the eye
Stepping stones like a puzzle to cross the waters path
Its beauty reflected against the surrounding sky
Nature's...

By the Riverside
BY THE RIVERSIDE

As I sat by the riverside,
Calm and running wild
Deep inside of me, waves clash
Sabre-rattling for supremacy

As I sat by the riverside,
Blurred images, fleeting past
Renaissance, reminiscence
Pruning past histories

As I sat by the riverside,
A macabre dance of swords
Flash of imagery...

The Riverside Solitude
As I sat on the plank
All alone at the riverbank
I listened to the birds chirp
Flapping their wings as they fly
Like armies, they formed lines in the sky

As I enjoyed my solitude
With my feet in the flowing water
I couldn’t help but wonder
If the trees loved the...

A Dry Riverside
Cherished by many desperate with no joy
Within the heartbeat of exclamatory rough homeboy
Finds peace too merry and blue sky solitary
Walking on all four and not seen as he tarry
Clothes wet with sweat and thwacked toes overlaid
Feels beaten, tired, sleepy, baked and guilty afraid

None by to...

Nature and Me On the Riverside
When I appear there Nature seems to 
Dance and dance and dance, 
When I disappear she is prone to 
Weep and weep and weep. 

Withdraws all clouds from sky to set a 
Splendid scenery, 
So that me rising from the river 
Afresh may there espy....

Premium Member Dawn Arrives At Riverside Park
Independence Day has come and gone.... 
All magic has been trucked away to come again another day 
Sweltering, yet, in the dewy lawn,
is the fragrance of burnt offerings....
hovering low like a old gray ghost, 
     vast over the Riverside Park

Premium Member Riverside - Marc Chagall
somewhere a thought is projected 
dappling on all present 
did it start inside my skull? I don't ask

but it bounces into a counter argument 
tussles start
all completely invisible to the naked eye

are invisible things real? of course
get some music in to heighten the moment
no one...

Lucie's Dreaming Part One 'Picturesque Riverside Setting'
Coke and weed
Hold nothing on me
She spoke the dream
 I chose to believe

We ride behind the unseen
Stride valleys of green
With shadows that sheen
 And caveats that sparkle

Even further a field
What may you yield
These layers unpeeled
 Where the white rabbit burrowed, will you now follow?

To the...

Premium Member Refreshing
Sometimes the dry desert wind
Strips slowly the sandless skin
Of the soul 

Gentle balm of the wide Spirit
Settling upon the surface 
Singing a song of suppleness 

Message of the mindful reflection 
From the internal mirror 
Of the heart

Home to the fruitful Spirit
Residence of the restoring, loving...
