Best Suss Poems

Instant friends, 
We hit it off so well
Mutual encouragement
Lives starting to gel
In an instant gone
As quickly as it started
Reasons why unknown
Left in waters unchartered

(Chorus)
Can you drop me a hint?
Can you offer a smidgen?
Was it something I said?
Could it be my religion?
Something I should’ve done,
Or anything...

Gazing into the depths of our bound venture.
Conscious of the interactions found in nature,

I quickly joined the Navy on June the 4th, 1943,  
As soon as I graduated at 17, life was definitely to be;
I received boot training in the state of Maryland, 
At Bainbridge, became a navigator noble and grand. 

I was sent to Amphibious Training...

Dutch Girl
By Rick Rucker

Was the Sky always this Blue?
Or just since I met You?

And the Grass, is it the standard Green?
Have I always felt this Serene?

The reason that I don’t know:
I can’t remember that long ago!

You have cleared my memory slate,
Not a memory, ‘fore our...

Where did you find safety when you were a child, 
?Did flight also help you, I wonder my friend? 
?I felt like it did me, but that was because
?My mom didn’t try hard to suss her son out.?
And having no fear of dark criminal plot,...

A smile from a friend cheered my spirit, 
And then we chatted about the season; 
Then another smile caught me with it, 
He must’ve smiled for a good reason. 

He gave an invitation into his office, 
And although he was much older, 
We had similar...

Unity soars above indifference snares in minds of others eased , for peace in its essence burns brighter than a million stars in space uninhabited by hate . Unity united in brotherhood not laced with painful clashing reminders of the past limited to limitation of...

Reversals of Fortune
I. Most think luck’s just what happens, though love groks luck’s seized
by each seed that sticks (somehow) in less stone-filled ground
(which its siblings blow off or press past). That’s less luck
to my brain than ‘Casino Royale,’ where all know
odds known stacked from the...

It's hard to beat the old age inventions
When our bodies refuse to meet our intentions,
Those top shelf items you simply can't reach,
The ones at the bottom inaccessibly deep!

I can't squeeze the new leveraged grabber
And the kids have confiscated my ladder,
So I hook around with my...

Hot as hell, emotions fire the flames, 
Nervous about meeting doctors, nurses, 
Curtain separates them from congregation,
The veil is not torn in two, but steamy adulation, 
Courts their friendship sessions to distance, 
Bible fanatic from mum, with a secular pretence: 
Stationed to obey that mile...

Will you listen to the music of my soul
Will you learn the things that I've already know 
Your joir de vivre is easy on the eye
The things which happen are unknown but i wonder why
Why I'm not afraid to try something really new 
The beating...

Good health,peace and prosperity

(The Man Who Proved That God Is Real)      

You told me you just want to know God exists, 
Oh dear heart, I promise it's true, 
I just worry the person who proved it to me, 
Might not be sufficient for...

It never melted for starters
but then you have to start somewhere
the Magic Icicle could talk
it had humors jealousies aversions
deep rending tides of love
and week long fits of giggling
It had been crafted by Father Frost
The Emperor of the North
his breath could wreck a train
and send a...
