Would not hold the hold it does
It would not stop my beating heart
Or cause it to beat faster still

Each  time when I will  read a psalm,
Receive much peace and also calm;
So  much  silence,
And no suspense;
God us He will always overwhelm.

From Trump Did Sense

From Trump Did Sense

From Trump as usual  we did sense,
A lie was formed as false pre-tense;
Time consuming,
While looming;
With much suspense were very tense.

sword of omens,a beast of suspense
delivers it's cocktail.
all harbingers of flesh dipped crosses
in cages for the watchers.

Things have been separated by a fence;

Suspense

In stillness a few leaves still hang chromatic colours soon to die as if their suspense makes this peace but a pause... – while waiting for the wild of winter.

Suspense Dates

Suspense Dates  

Am sure to meet dates that are suspense's,
When I finally had came back to my senses;
For office run;
Not any fun,
So did not and must suffer the consequences.

Coast Guard Suspicious Officer

Plot about officer seemed to be intense;
For years he had been held in suspense;
Ammo and arms,
Always alarms;
Now there is a prevalence of evidence.

Scary Moments

It's not nightly shadows that induce fear and suspense,
but most of us are frightened by their eeriness,
and by constantly staring at them with zeal 
we can imagine anything that's not quite real.

Unless are being confused and also dense.

She Who Hen Pecks

She Who Hen Pecks

When things are always adorning,
It must have to be in the morning,
And if there was much suspense,
She then relents from all the hints;
Doing her horrible henpecking.

Those Nuances

Those nuances 
Simple shade of a meaning 
May captivate your mind 
And be quite intriguing 
As the story unfolds 
There is a building of suspense 
There is just no telling 
As to what may happen next
