Tomorrow hangs with bated breath
I fear the morrow -
caged by past, I rip apart;
yet today's growth blossoms.

I Wait With Bated Breath For C Cure T Clarence
I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence
The following crafted
approximately midway
into the administration
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping finds
him squarely poised to
nab the nomination as
Republican front runner
come the 2024 election.
The overstuffed ego freezer
(yes him with the coiffed
windblown hair has been making,
sans daily) regular appearance
in the news

Dearest Sunlight, I Wait With Bated Breath
Dearest Sunlight, I Wait With Bated Breath
Dearest sunlight has thy glow ran away
Into a hideous canyon to hide
Please to dawn's glorious hour this I pray
Return, forgive me my arrogant pride
I watch night sky, its vast, glittering glows
Yet this lonely soul inward deeply cries
Beauty abounds as a heavenly show
Whilst on this sadden earth, love too oft

With Bated Breath
Detected overpowering odour ascending by degrees
Rational thought dissolved in fear
Animalistic unearthly roar transpiring
Gigantic mockery of every living thing
Oblique it’s huge amber eye surveyed
Nostrils twitching rapidly to detect
Stagnant atmosphere all pervading
Tantamount aversion restrained
Onerous task to undertake
Nihilism mindfully conjured despair
Extinction of human kind a possibility

With Bated Breath
Worthy worship welcomes divine bated breath of well-done work
Invigorating my earnest praise-offering and prayer-intercession
Triumphing over turbulent trials along toilsome tests
Hoisting me toward God’s heavenly hope.
Braced-up with Christ’s strength during righteousness’ bouts of bated-breath
Assured faith of mine adheres to Him against doubts’ afflictions
Tenaciously standing upon His truth with thanksgiving
Empowered for service-enablement
Doing His will with delight*.
Blessings

With Bated Breath
With bated breath I wait to see your glowing face
In the evening skies when you arise
Taking my breath away with your beauty.
How I await to view your glowing silver orb.
Beauty and enchantment of your illumination
Are a lover's romantic delight tonight as
Twilight deepens into indigo skies you
Elate my senses as you mesmerize in
Darkened skies

With Bated Breath
wistful recollections awaken
intriguing emotions to follow
towards the desolate path
heartless roads once paved
barren fields beneath the stone
amidst the shadows of rock
thirst for more than tears
eventide's sighs often bring
dare she trust to love again?
beneath the lambent light
rising moon now full
emits a glow upon the path
attempting to allure her along
towards the passage of fate
heart agape sighs with bated

When you left me in mild mid-summer twilight
I heard you say you’d return on a silvery night
Through the dust of full moon of spring when
Hues would flush the first rose of my garden.
Beyond the blue haze of bright night’s beguiled
And ardent ambience I saw you disappear while
The rush of thoughts swept my mind with tense
Expectations

Weathered memories
I dream of you as always
Thoughts that linger onwards
Hover in the stillness of the night
Behind sullen shadows
Across silent clashing waves
Throbs of a heart beating
Echo relentless in my head
Distanced from this realm
Beached dreams of you and me
Reminder of our time cut short
Every moment thereafter
A throbbing aching longing
To reunite two souls in love
Heaven awaits with bated

Create In Me O Lord-With Bated Breath--
With Bated Breath--
Create in me O Lord
Breath of life
Blow your wind a gust in me, O Lord
While I stand here on the realm of enlightenment,
Investing in the twilight lite placement in times;
Together my body and spirit separates,
Host has hurried and left its place, now lifted and faceless…
Breath has flown, gone on…
Arise, arise my soul dough

While I stand here on the realm of enlightenment,
Investing in the twilight lite placement in times;
Together my body and spirit separates,
Host has hurried and left its place, now lifted and faceless…
Breath has flown, gone on…
Arise, arise my soul dough flies flows towards heaven…
Tenderly submitting to the almighty Creator
Each and every embrace
Delivers He Himself

With Bated Breath
Whispers curtailed into the cobalt sky
Inspired by diminished reasons why
Twisted into favorite memories
Half bent over, weeping with willow trees
Betrayal never mute when fear prevails
Anticipation of my heart that wails
Temptation shows no alleviation
Expecting all that resents creation
Decreasing heartbeat; devoid elation
Barren fields mourn, for I am left breathless
Regretting my past, leaving me restless
Eroded lava brick engraved my

With Bated Breath
Walking up the winding path
inside the cemetery where my family is buried;
the path leads me through the oldest parts, and I recall
haunted stories of childhood.
Breathless, I walk faster and whisper a prayer;
another turn, then another, oh am I lost!
Turning around in circles- I see through trees the sun;
even the hushed angels sigh for me
