Best Side By Side Poems

I witnessed pure love spilled out in front of me

I watched him caressed her lovely face,
a tenderness of his touch eased her distress.
I heard him spoke of their love,
and the melody of his voice gave her strength to gaze at him awhile.
I saw his hazel...

On the couch they sit and draw
On matching sketching screens,
For as they grow we get to see
Such sweet domestic scenes.

From solitary play
To sibling rivalry, or worse,
This side by side togetherness
Is friction in reverse.

Of course, it's just occasional
But when their play's in sync,
It's really something special.
(Though...

You and Me

So many vehicles

So many journeys 

So many destinations

So many countries

Exploring life 

Side by Side

From teenagers to parents to retirees

Copious conversations

Decisions made

Disagreements

Abundant laughter

Grief

Rivers of tears

Music throughout the decades

Silly songs sung

Coffees aplenty

So many years 

Side by Side

We got married last Friday
My girl was right there beside me;
Our friends were all gone
We were alone
Side by side.

We were so happily wed when
We got ready for bed then;
Her teeth and her hair
She placed on a chair
Side by side.

One glass eye so tiny
One hearing aid...

I do appreciate the sky
that is not flying high
the moon is so powerful 
the yellow grey clouds protective of,
The light blue sky that turns Blue 
Latter the white clouds,
Suddenly my memories travel Radical
The magic autobiographical moment that I want,
Turn nature in me,
Graphical 
so using some...

When the sky is bright and blue
And the clouds don’t even bother
I go riding with my gal
We go riding side by side

Once the sky was always clear
Now the clouds don’t ever wander
Come on back where you belong
We’ll go riding side by side

Can't you see that...

I could not be me without you,
nor you without me,
as "I"
you see
we're not at home 
in side-against-side.

Egos seek universality
but also unity
equality
equi-valent ecological
economy,
biological teleology
unfolding meaning-full we.

If no MetaEcoSystem,
then no Me.
If no me, then no exegetical
metaphysical
metamorphical
polycultural
permaculturing,
polynomial Be.

If not Be-longing
then no We longing.
If no longing,
then no Belonging.
If no...

Oh it's a beautiful night!
The moon is full
And the stars are glowing
While the trees, with Earth's cool summer breeze
Start slowly blowing...

A campfire's flames are burning so bright
While a young couple holds each other tight
Warming their hearts, as these two lovers embrace
Traveling together, through time and...

A young Black man and a silver hair White man side by side.  I looked out my window, and I saw a rare and beautiful sight.  No, not hummer birds of hummer while in flight.  No, not blue birds talking in there...

The yellow moonlight had gone out.
The moon beats quietly.
The stars have fallen on you.
arrived during the day.
The wind mumbled scattering the stars' dew.
Dust
The sky above is gleaming.
Desire is sent out, and love is infused with kindness.
The moon can make the night exciting, once more to...

Find the correct sound
Chant it inside
It is everywhere
It is in the womb of the universe
Sing it full throat, right on, this is how it is done
Only the unfortunate have doubts.

It hovers all around
Let the sound be felt in your heart
It is open secret
The universe is...

Not exceeding that moment of the shift,
decades of pomp and circumstance,
that Gatsbyesque snap of jeweled fingers,
halted,
like a race horse after the win.
Now nature in her worst mood,
feverish and pacing,
placed one next to the other. 
Farm worker and trust fund baby, 
in their red cross refuge,...

My little feet tripping walking begun
To keep up with my mothers bigger ones
And quietly years just roll alongside 
With walking running matching stride for stride
I wonder when those little feet outgrew
Laced up booties buckled shoes gumboots too

And as we both stand with my feet all...
