Best Suspicion Poems

Long ago, in a tiny Kingdom,
in some far-distant land,
lived four hundred sub-servient people,
whose ruler was "The Shan"!

He had a real bad temper,
and was subject to take fits!
So the people sorta walked on eggs,
and had to keep their wits.

Things were good for quite awhile,
no fits, and...

Suspicion

Suspicion is a friend of mean souls,
Jealousy, inferiorities, are  its pals.
It always makes you a back biter,
Back talks are baseless, and bitter.

Suspicion is very often unjust than just,
It is far more to be wrong than right.
It is great enemy of virtue and Happiness, 
And...

A wee silky cat 
With heafty cordial fair eyes
Perched at a fence
At my sight descends
Escorts me to the mosque's gate
Retraces back at risk
Human presence troubles him...

Murder was served at the table.
The fellow is dead, not stable.
Page turned, nothing could be subtler -
Suspicion fell on the butler.

It was the salt and peppering -
It’s clear his oversteppering
was found out this night…all knives out.
Stone cold - the butler gave a shout.

The poison sealed...

The case of caviar the Humpherts ordered
was missing from their mansion. What a mystery!
Could long-time butler Stephan be the culprit?
If so, posthaste the traitor would be history.

One Humphert child cried out, “He wouldn’t do that!
“Some stranger could have slipped in,” said the other
and swiped those...

Suspicion fell on the butler.
one scone was missing
a chair askew.

The constable scratched his chin
tapped his note pad.
The butler stood
Idly guilty in the doorway.
This was not the first such incident.

The Lady of the Manor strode into the room,
surveyed the situation
muttered under her breath.

The constable observed her...

Are You Under A Cloud Of Suspicion?

Do you feel you’re under a “cloud of suspicion?”
Despite all of your efforts
 and “best intentions?”

Have others found you “guilty” by a word spoken?
And this has left you hurt and your heart “broken?”

Perhaps you’ve tried the best way you...

It is a secret
You’re afraid to reveal
Too much of your heart
You’re afraid, so you conceal
The real you, the real truth
The hues of hope and faith
The sweetness of such grace

It is a worry
You’re too aware of
A darkness that hurries
To dim your sparkle, to dissuade
Your kindness, your...

Into the woods the three did wander
Graceful teenage girls carefree
I had great cause to ponder
Surely someone held the key
When they were never seen again
Suspecting things grimly gone awry
What evils lurks what evil men
Might dare beneath God’s watchful eye

Catalyst
Speeds up a chemical reaction
While  defence, suspicion, defiency and greed
Of dictatorship
Speeds up an outburst for war
Between man and man
Country and country
There are many reasons to start a war
But there is only one reason
To prevent
To halt
And to stop it
And that reason is simply called
Peace-loving...

       Ancient nomads above burning desert sense overwhelming compassion

Suspicion always finds the poor butler.
This time, he was carrying a large box.
I think I saw her fingers--if not her
perhaps it was her sister's golden locks.

People say that she slapped his lovely face.
Not one to pass stories loosely, mind you,
but a grain of truth may...

He was alone and lonely.
Sadness swept his eyes 
before he jabbed at me 
with his cynical sarcasm.

He slowly lit his Camel.	
It was a simple act of murder
and he was a scholar of sorts –
a player of chess, a fan of poetry.

I knew I was under...

Alone in the chapel, falling apart
Unveiling the wounds of her tortured heart
Seeking solace in quiet of the night
Wishing and praying her instincts aren't right.

The true love of her life has gone astray
She saw him with someone else yesterday
Hoping she had got things completely wrong
That he'd...
