Side-By-Side

Shagged in the back of a shotgun shack
at night by moonlight
peeping past curtains of burlap sack
such a sore sight
surrounded by fields of green
willing as she'd been
tho' torn
she surely wasn't about to be seen
with a child out of wedlock born
so with a bun in the oven
she had her Dad invite he
who did the dirty deed
and plant

Premium MemberSide by Side

"Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest." - C.S. Lewis

I want to rise above the clouds
I seek a land beyond the seas
I want to swim among the stars
And dance among the rustling trees

There’s so much of this world I want to see
Who will

Premium MemberSitting Side By Side

You are beside me. I am beside you.
None else is seen around, besides us two.
Cessation, by ceaselessness, is erased.
Unknowingly, are our hearts now replaced?

These streams of fresh water that flow around
These song-filled swaying reeds that make no sound
These tiny lovebirds that chirp our murmurs
Aren't these springtime nature's play performers?

As rains soothe the earth with love,

Premium MemberAlways on the flip side

Oh my, why am I always on the flip side?
Fleeing from hope, slipping down the slide.
In moonshine glow, seldom in sunshine bright.
Always in the consequence of negativity's plight.

My joy and laughter are often subdued.
My tears and sobs are wrongly construed.
My feelings are torn to tatters and shreds.
By doubts and uncertainty, slipped threads.

But why am I

Premium MemberIn a Carriage, Side by Side

We won't always be this poor.
Walk with me through the door.
One day, we two will ride
In a carriage, side by side.

I've known you since I was five,
Since the day you were alive.
You were fine and pretty then.
You'll be at one-hundred ten.

One day, treasures you will have.
You won't always work this hard.
We will make it hand

Premium Membersitting side by side in daisy chairs

Janet did not know how well her boyfriend would do with her daughter.
She kept them separate until she was sure he might be “the one”.
Daisy, at four, did not need to fall in love with someone who might leave.
She had lost her own father, a man who died of cancer in two months.
Tom loved children,

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

Side By Side

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 you.
How cleverly the night is transformed into play.
Will you and

Premium MemberThere Together, Side By Side

There together, side by side.
He, the pilot; she, the ride.

Same but different is their focus:
Hers a pattern; his a locus.

His, of old, a line of red;
Hers coerce a twisted thread.

Hers, producing loops and cables;
His, a safe trip home enables.

His propels across the vast;
Hers are going nowhere fast.

Hers produce a supple fleece;
His, in excess, draws police.

Neither,

Premium MemberWalking Side By Side

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 grown
Tall as the mirror stands with laughs outshone
Looking at the

Forever Side By Side

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 eyes filled with unconditional love overshadowing the sadness creeping up

Side By Side

Hand by hand, through the frosty night
I walk with you, no sight of fright.
Through clouds and fogs, through cold and dark,

through bricks and walls and all as bad
I follow you ,side by side.
Until we see the morning light.

Side By Side

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 it's over in a blink!)
