Best Tandem Poems

I love the wrinkles upon her face
Each one completes a story
Of a time when we were younger
Living life in all her glory

I love the gray hair on her head
Each caused by a new worry
That we conquered as a team
For which we need not be sorry

I...

Daffodils crave caresses from the sun,
yet April showers must first melt the frost.
For Her rain announces Spring has begun;
crocus sprout and Winter's covers get tossed.

Songbirds start singing on the sunny days
of Spring as robin redbreasts build mud nests.
And happily bask in the sun's warm rays
while...

The see saw of the mind...
distinctive in its play

The sandpit of creation...
imaginations stray...

In tandem toys are shared...
the broken ones we crave...

The depth of wilful notion...

our thoughts, our minds display...

We seldom impose our free will...

...The discovery in all of us...

The message the spark translate...

...the core to...

~~a fairy tale about Bobby Brown Hair, sleepy head
Tattered plaited grandmas made bed spread
Temptress grungy even made bear teddy out of black button eyes white plush cotton nose
Insides filled with cotton fold;
Settling on the bed next to sleepy head
Surrounded by...

Projecting himself as concert prince
My special child, full of confidence
Serenades by his tunes’ preference
Enthralling my heart he does convince.

Using his left hand in mic*’s absence
He belts out with gracious persistence
Then prodding me by his insistence
I join him for a duet license. 

While we clap midst...

When spring arrives, the blooms appear,
up-shoot toward bright heavens' sphere,
and sprinkle earth with wondrous cheer.

In early March, belle crocus sings
of rattling joy her presence brings,

when chased along by daffodil.
If paired with roses' scarlet trill,
the wind applauds in shivered thrill.

Upon her heels comes creeping phlox,
to climb...

The two women sat near the coffin as if in a dream,
The notary shuffled pompously his files, 
The women wondered what his scheme was. 
The old man looked at them, his face all smiles.
The dead man was married to both all the time.
Had he been...

Things happen at their own pace,
and time,
we make them,
plan them,
and expect,
the outcomes,
but do they match,
ever expectations,
sometimes they do and sometimes they do not,
how many times did they in full,
can you remember sharp and fast,
life is causal,
and causes millions,
your computing abilities,
are limited to one or two...

When time overcomes memory,
and vision retracts

The past sits in judgment,
its verdict exact

With yesterday’s reason,
tomorrow to blame

All hope left in ashes
—truth mourning the flame

the garage sale sellers could not get rid of the bike
It takes a certain person, two actually, said Mike
It was a tandem bike, they could not sell that day
Until a giraffe family came by and happily rode it away....

In yonder sights
tiptoe dainty desires
upon the svelte shimmers
of a sultry sunrise sway.
 
In yonder reach
a rousing rapture rages
against repressions,
the verve of an ardor
tapping against time -
and time -
again.
 
In yonder, lay
the blend of skins
tangled in delirium
soothed over sighs.
 
The yonder, sought,
seeps through glances
with thoughts to...
