Short Bide Your Time Poems

You yank me from my curtain climb
     But I shall nap and bide my time.

             You'll pass by soon enough....

We are not at War

As the DOW doth soar

Thus bide your time

And you may find

The Turn around 

At your door!


Go Barack.......

Locomotives idle at their sidings
The world over

The big Case-Hellwig diesels
At low rpms
Or slow revv flashing what horsepower:

The iron-wheel'd gods
Bide their time......

"Sitting by my window watching the world pass by
 I close my eyes and drift away to a place where we could fly
 My heart is warm with thoughts of you, I bide my time till our
 hearts are true"...

Love is cruel
But do not be shy
Lift your hands up to the sky
Love will come if you wait 
Just be patient do not buy
It will come, the care you seek 
So bide your time to meet your true love’s fate...

why is it
when I arrive
for a bit

they run away
and hide from me
they don't stay

too bad for them
they should know
I'm their friend

but no, they snicker
and bide their time while
grandpa pulls his whiskers...

I don't want my life to pass
Not knowing of your kiss
It would be remarkable
The thought of it is bliss
Though I'll bide my time 
And wait... 
And hope... 
And dream...
And think about...
The moment it may happen
To no more go without...

When the Rapture cometh
     I will bide my time quietly
Not to the tremors of past consequences,
    but to the calamity of their remorse
    in that inevitable end of sequences
I will rise above life matter-of-factually
reigning in all I have planted and sown...

Deep in the wood, I bide my time
asleep, my back against the lime

stone ledge beside a forest pool.
At ease, my mind and body cool

And waking cosmically refreshed,
with lake and earth and tree enmeshed,

that God is SO, and right and good,
I know tonight, deep in the wood...

Whispers crackers to the cheese,
"Lean a little closer please...
I'll bet the party's tomorrow night"..
Cabernet shivered in sudden fright,
The olives decided to bide their time,
And snuggled closer to the lime...
"Hope the party is a raging blast,
'Cause I think it's going to be our last!"...

The Peacock Punks
bide their time
in New York's finery
Their aegis ,Betty Davis eyes
follows them in no uncertain terms
The day is engrossed with snowflakes
There is serenity in the air
as the chanteuse
forgets her words
I sensed the silence
as a solitary butterfly flew past
I longed for my reward...

Stroll along the avenue,
Moist with morning’s dew,
Wear your finest garb
Contacts here are few.

From a distant window,
Lips as red as flame,
She watches and she waits alone,
Perched and tame!

She’ll bide her time while watching
Your every maneuvering tension,
Mordacious in her style, yet
Intenerate in her invention!

I used to could do a lot of things
When I was younger still.
But now my body wreaks of age
From climbing up the hill.
The downward stroll is not so hard
Less resistance to my will.
I wander slowly through the days
And try to get my fill.
I used to could go and do and be
So many things there were to see.
But now I sit and bide my time
Just happy to be me....

The trees are sporting finery
I've not seen in a year,
In just the nick of time before
The month of May is here.

They aren't fully decked out yet;
Accoutrements await,
But slowly they're preparing
As if going on a date.

Their branches draped in color now,
They preen and bide their time
'Til filled with fruit and flowers
They'll be fully in their prime....

waited all these years
for that special smile
feel like i cant wait
but ill just bide my time
cause i know your smile waiting for me
waited all these years
don't be long
want to see that smile like sunrise
rising up for me
you roll up that joint
and we will sit and talk while you smoke
in the late day sun
feels so fine
lets see that smile
rising up for me...

Oh pagan mistress, your sins weighed heavy
Your conspicuous makeup masks your unsightliness
If only your admirers knew of your sins against man
They would have, long ago, cast you into the streets
Harlot, bide your time, bide your time o' woman of ill repute
Soon, your patrons will see you for who you really are
Then, the weeping and gnashing of your teeth will be...

Bright young things
the class of 2019
Tories with their fresh rosettes
they said they could level up the Red Wall
now bide their time to forgotten promises
in their brazen suites
lost chance saloon in a cavalier fashion
ill affording suffragette society
look at them in their run in
Labour ushers a bravo return,
The Reform party
picks up on the crumbs
of discontent...

Early mornin dew dripp'd flower
Rosy Red awaits the hour
Lifts her bloom and greets the day
To sup the misty mornin rays
She fawns upon the golden hue
Swaddled in the mantled blue
Till sunny orb quits daytime skies
To veil its face from longing eyes
So Rosy Red doth nod her bloom
And bide her time in shadowed gloom
To dream the dreams that only may
Wish anew the break of day...

The morn dawned gray, the fog crouched o'er the sea
It spread across the land; on hill, in vale, it lay
Obscured the rolling meadow, 'till arose a breeze

As sun burned through the mist with slanting ray
A thought did find its way into my mind
That days will bide their time before they say

Now look at us in all our finery designed
To dazzle and delight, as -- our glory we unwind...

If thoughts are worth a penny
(Which was once the going rate),
Then those folks who haven’t any
Should just bide their time and wait.

If we factor in inflation,
What we think’s worth so much more
Than the age-old application
Of that passé metaphor.

Still, no matter what they’re paying
To express what’s in our head,
There will still be some displaying
Merely emptiness instead....

Cold Jonquils know
you’ll steal their glow
unlike their snowy, sunburst blast
your foot long roots will ever last.
Sadly you won’t last too long
a gentle breeze and “POOF” you’re gone
to take up residence at will
bide your time again – until
you feel the urge to strut your stuff
cuz you Dandelions are so tuff.

Surrender, you fool, to shadows deep,
No one to care, no one to weep.
End it all, if you dare,
In the silence, none aware.

They speak of peace, I disagree,
No joy in life, not meant for me.
Unloved, despised, no matter the plea,
A worthless soul adrift at sea.

This torment now a twisted rhyme,
In hell's embrace, I bide my time.
Retreat to shadows, all alone,
Isolation, my solemn throne....

I slip in and out beyond twilight
to look  what others see.

Through their eyes fitting as behind a mask 
a discontented observer in a half sleep state.

I know not why but all is to bide my time
in days gone,  a finger pointed at my breast bone 
and declared to the man.......... witch.

There find a storm never seeing the like, hoisted up and hotted feet,
I know not why but all is to bide my time....

If home is where the heart is
  My home lies far away
Though I may live in Illinois
  Returning home's my goal some day

For now I bide my time and wait
  Until the coast is clear and bright
And on that day I'll sail away
  To live a life that's pure, upright

In her embrace, deep in my soul
  She takes me home to grassy knoll
And beckons me with soft refrains
  Come back again, your love remains...

Love came again to bide her time 
To sit upon the swing and gaze 
To run a hand through my hair 
Many little bells caress my spine 

She wore a dress to match her eyes
As kingdoms fall and states divide
So does my breath against my hand 
Tremble here with heavy quaking sighs 

I know I give myself too fast to her 
But oceans pull and do not compromise  
The choice will rest with me no longer
A life without this I shall not endure...
