Susan Poems - Poems about Susan

Susan Brumel

We met in the summer of 1780,
When violins wept beneath candlelight.
A classical concert in Vienna’s old heart —
Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin —
The kind of night that lives forever.

She sat beside me, dressed in black velvet,
Her hair like raven silk,
Eyes full of autumn skies and secret songs.
A Jewish rose blooming in a world too cold.

When The Marriage

Premium MemberWhen Sunset and Stars Shine on Sacred Ground a collaboration with Susan Ashley

My love, let us live this paradisal evening
dressed in wispy clouds of red
and tailored in strips of orange embellishing the horizon
where shades and shadows embrace your face
as the last glimmer of daylight falls
leaving a raptured sky of coral pink and red
enhancing your beauty in the twilight's glow
as your hair dances like tranquil threads
in the breeze

were on a ship named
Susan B Anthony.

The ship sank off Normandy
in France, and every single
one of these people survived.
What could have been a disaster
was a June miracle.

Black-eyed Susan, a Summer doll.
Bright, yellow, with downturned petals.
My childhood shadow skips along
the trail with honeysuckle scent.

Flow’rs stunning in a garden fete.
Her sunrays smile in a vast field.
Petals dance in a circle ‘round
Susan’s sun-soaked, ebony eye.

Premium MemberSam And Susan


Finishing his last sip of tea, Sam said to Susan,
"I don't think that they were expecting us,
But I can't believe they left the windows down.
Busy with the sweetest tea she ever had, Susan
did not respond. Sam further stated, "Drinking
from a cup is not my best choice, but it certainly
beats not drinking at all". Susan still

and lay before you a love letter from the heart
beneath the moonlight's glow
where our eyes find a silent understanding
that embraces each passionate emotion
swirling and entwined in the depth of love

where our souls surrender to ardent desire
in an enchanted beguiling captivity

"To be sung to the tune of, A Tale As Old
 As Time, from Beauty and the Beast "

and your eyes of blue;

Feel you holding me,
when I close my eyes;
waking up with tears,
and I whisper prayers;
for love never dies

These words of love I give to you, my dear
to have comfort in the stillness of time
and meld two souls to keep love's wishes near
when the length of the years and age will climb
I will be your knight and loving sentry
