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?

Untitled #24 / Two Weeks Ago

Two weeks ago I could stroll
along the riverside happy smiling in peace
Where’d it go?
And can the Timbuktu of tomorrow really
be closer than my home of yesterday?

Premium Member Peaceful Riverside

If you feel all of a dither
Go and sit quietly by a river
Take a book and a tipple
Listen to the river ripple 
Take a sip and a peaceful read
You may find this is all you need

Premium Member Riverside Summer Outing


My family joined a summer outing
So excited for swimming and rafting
Mom got our swim vests with suits
Dad just brought his parachutes
And kept eyes on us, flying and shouting.

A Spring Day

I look for spring by the riverside on a fine day;
The boundless field here takes on a new look.
I can recognize the vernal wind right away;
Flowers bloom in a riot of color at every nook.

My Reminiscences

the Secret Cottage,
a forest trek where
sundown gently on 
your face. Riverside
drifting.. the grasp seeds.
Forest game, heartbeat
of the wild nature, 
inhuman natures 
bloodstream chasing
the tormerting Faces.

wishing

chestnut  mares tumble
but you pay no attention
voiceless stanzas echo
time to run and hide
to the hills of your home
calmingly walking away
by the riverside
you scorn your chances
but it is only in magic
that you can pay attention

Down By the Riverside

Bimbette was out for a stroll by the river
And was enjoying the walk in the countryside
When she saw Peaches on the opposite bank
“Hi Peachy how do I get to the other side?”
Peaches looked at her with a puzzled expression
“You’re already there silly” she replied

Looking Forward To Your Coming Home

Since the farewell toast on the lonely riverside that night,
In my dream, your returning boat has been floating in sight.
The Changyi Ridge’s snow loses its whiteness for plum blossoms bright,
And you smell the fragrance of osmanthus in your home-reaching delight.

She Comes When She Comes

She comes when she comes
Like a rainbows spectrum
with her arrival
eager eyes bestows all
the windswept day
a steep August dawn
We are at peace
walking hand in hand
smiling blissfully
Flakes of happiness reside
arching by the riverside
such is the fate of our promise

Cloud, Shadow, Dew

Three Haiku 8--10 

8.	
Stepping on the cloud   
wipe the sweat off from forehead 
it’s a mountaintop    


9.	
a lonely shadow  
stands by a riverside where    
snow falls on the water  

10.
wet by the morn dew  
fragrance of the sweet roses  
drifts in the crisp air

Canary Bird

In Riverside, a bird used to live years ago
nearby the only window of his branch,
a big lovely tree, he often sing terrific warbling 
rhymed cool songs early in the morn
and so every day at sunset. I asked
Is it a canary bird flower with some other?
Who makes that lovely "prose and poems"!

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

World Cruise

We like to respond to
Oysters on sea beaches
Rustling branches in the wood
Love the tall birches
Dews drop as she blushes

Cucumbers smile on thatch
Roses call from your pots
Umpteen snails roam 
Inquiringly on moist spots
Sands sparkle at riverside
Elegant horses we ride

The Flash - the Fastest Man In the World

Jerry Garcia singing on the radio
urges us to "Come Hear Uncle John's band by the riverside"
    Night wraps its arms around me
   City lights shine and
are reflected in my eyes
Drums beat slowly as does the heart
    Garcia sings "He's come to take his children home"
Soft laughter and my mind
   Feels a heavy sense of peace

Love

The song of love, is a sweet syndrome. The song of love is a way back home. A music obscured, Is the colour red. Or is it dark? As sweet as choclate. So we wander, Along the Riverside. Or creating symphony, As we glide. A million harmonies, The life creates. As we walk through, We start to renunciate.

"tranquil"

Totally peaceful~ a picnic in the park.
Restful~  relaxing~ fishing~ riverside.
Amazing~ building castles~ at oceans edge.
No strife ~ no stress~ cloud watching.
Quiet and calming~ a  misty midnight walk.
Untroubled ~ unusual~ under the moss draped oaks.
Idyllic ~ impressive~ stars on a black velvet sky.
Longed for~ nature's music~ lovers hand in hand.

As If You Are Nothing But Good

Little, little riverside stream
You water my dreams

Giving fresh flower in the Spring
All that new life your help brings
Flowing on through Summer
Carrying gold for our rings

Catching fallen leaves in Autumn
Many colors you now carry
Freeze you won't in the chill of Winter
Changing you of this I won't worry

My Loss

The hours slipped away today
And then before I knew it,
It got too late to go outside;
I guess I really blew it.

The benches by the river
Didn’t have my butt to warm them.
The ferries and the pigeons
Had nobody to inform them.

Of course, I wasn’t missed at all;
The loss was mine completely,
For when I’m sitting riverside,
I write my poems discreetly.

The Last Time We Met

Sun kissed faces, blurred visions.
Tearful eyes, hearts ignitions.

Quite road  by the riverside.
Hand in hand, we sat alongside.

Voiceless throats, despaired hearts.
In that dead silence we  were  falling apart. 

Transient relation was coming to an end.
Dimmed endeavour  failed to restrain.

The moment she said the  last Goodbye.
Thousands of thoughts suppressed inside.

I want so much to be with you
To do all the things that you do
And for you to do all that I do too 
Everything that is, it's true
Share a clove down riverside
Tell you all my heart, not hide
My deepest thoughts in anymore 
Like I had to do before
But let you read me like a book
Word by word, you've got first look
Into the playlist that is me
With you, complete now, full I'll be
