Side By Side Poem by Reynaldo Casison

Side by side the seagulls
Side by side the seagulls
Delightfully exotic
And common
Transcendentally extraordinary

Side by side the seagulls bask
Upon the sturdy ridge
At the singing feet
Of a poignant river
Ceaseless in its endearments

Side by side the seagulls bask
As if sprung from the adamant nectar
Of thy nutritious bosom

Choral waves slurping
With music and transcendent applause

The boardwalk lapping with the
Strolling afternoon
Replenishing creams pining upon the granular rim and cone

You grasp with flourish
Silhouettes peeling in Bliss and uniqueness

The balmy windbrushed ambience
The Balmy windbrushed ambiance
Assauges thy rose kissed cheeks
Now I feel them gleam

Now I hear them gleam
Like glistening seashells
Polished by acres and acres of voluminous love
Showered with the wings of the ocean, ripe with healing, pleasure
And Solace
Side by Side
