Best Undyingly Poems

Alas
how they suffer
poverty seeds disease 
like a puddle breeds mosquitoes - 
the sickly buzz is everywhere..

the dirge of the drudge 
nowadays damn near everyone in refrain
rites and rituals --
enough to almost make this heartless
hooded old man feel faint - ha! 
..a feign of concern with...

His home is beneath the theater stage 
Disfigured, he remains within his cage
Listening to melodies played onstage
Fills him with loneliness, not rage

Once a fine actor, the Phantom awaits midnight
To sing alone, so fear he won’t incite
For the “garish light of day” he finds too bright
When...

Boundless Ripples


Refulgent ripples by nourishing night
Waves of love by magnanimous moonlight
My soul sending signals to you in flight
Never reaching the end thru waters white

Within the pond of love releasing ripple effect
I breathe your breath as the waters reconnect
Boundless and soundless they forever reflect
Vestal vibrations of...

I can see you through your hell.
Heaven doth mock you until you spill.
Just like old friends, 
Hand in hand, 
We bled.  

Tame the shrew, 
Untouched by filth
And rob her as she shrills.  
All the while, 
I’m spiraling 

A disease that makes everything unwell,
Smiling...

Breathe easy to the heart that pumps out its rhythm!
Ease the easiest way that penetrates its veins!
Breathe easy to the brightest heartbeat that gives birth to life.
Bring back sensation from within to begin!
Brave back the battle of the great warrior in you.
For the barefooted you...

Intelligence and continuity…
Sly and cunning dangerously so,

Experienced and seasoned…
A veteran of many lives not so helpless,

Focused and warmly passionate…
A romantic undeniably cool,

Temperamental and justly powerful, 
Richly heralded yet still feared,

Precisioned and calculated…
Darkly unorthodox and unreadable,

Hated and despised sought after by many…
Never sighted or caught though...

An Angel, Sent From Above
By Rick Rucker

Casting about, with no love of my own,
I found the Wonder that kept me from being Alone!

She walks with a certain Regal Grace,
With a lovely figure, and exquisite face,

Words I do not have, to express my Love,
For this Angel,...

You who I barely know, unconditionally love.
We are so close, You and I, 
Yet we are too far apart.

What is it that persuades me to envy you?
How is it, looking at you, I see greatness? 
Why are you the one I try to find?

You, I...

People eating their daily fill
Mothers popping their daily pill

Fathers drinking their daily beer
Hunters shooting their daily deer

Rain pouring on the city
Parents looking for each other’s pity

Children playing very gaily
Tourists visiting the town of Raleigh

It’s these days that I can’t stand
These days that go by and...

Thereof individual tender beats  
Pulsating so via lively beats per;  
Ever caring hearts so tenderly beats...  
Detering not the least, glowing beats per.  

Tender hearts which cannot forego others,  
Tender hearts which never stop their loving,  
Tender hearts which...

All that I had is gone, and all of my efforts a waste,
When I look around me, there is no more of a familiar place,
without the ringing music of your voice,
I'm so scared, but I don't know if I have a choice,
I just ask for...

Cupid Did Me In
by Rick Rucker

Little Cupid did me in! 
His tiny arrow did pierce my skin!

Not much bigger than a gnat,
It changed my Life, from This to That!

I heard wings flapping, then the sting,
This really changed Everything!

Since he got me in his sights,
I've spent...

DEATH IN LOVE WITH LIFE

Life flows in entrancing river of beauty
The end it carries from the beginning
Through the valley of ecstasy sparkling
To the ordained waiting sea of tranquility.

The nascent petals blooming in flowers
The butterflies bathing in colors of sunset
Behind the transient beauty they discover
Looming dark...

She is always there
And she always hated you
As I undyingly loved you both
But she stands by me
As you throw me down
She always hated you
And I’m on her side now...
