"bated" poems
***Crossing the room in slow motion She watches his muscles move in the moonlight Oh how they glisten in anticipation Sit my pet, in a whisper At her feet he waits with bated breath So pleased at his obedience Proceed Such a simple command He inches closer His eagerness evident in his silence In his omission of a proper response An outfaced palm and he stops short Sitting back on his feet, hands in lap, eyes to the floor I'm sorry Ma'am, he says That is evident by his failure to respond He knows what is coming Grabbing the back of his hair she forces his eyes to hers Position, she says disgustedly She leans back in the armchair as he pulls her hips to the edge He lifts one leg and gently places it over the arm Then he positions the other in the same manner Sitting back on his feet, facing the floor His arousal is evident, as is his moist anticipation Respire. The word is grunted through gritted teeth He leans into heaven Hovering an inch away Slow deep breaths He breathes in her essence wanting nothing more Than to bridge the gap with his tongue White satin and peekaboo lace She runs down the rules of his punishment Will you touch the Goddess No Ma'am Will you drool on the Goddess No Ma'am Will you move without permission No Ma'am How long will you hold your position As long as my Goddess sees fit...Ma'am Good boy His breath is slow, deliberate, and heavy The heat of it permeates the thin fabric She runs her hand over the object of desire Accentuating the outlines of what lies beneath An accidental whimper Silence! A gruff command Followed implicitly In a slow and graceful motion A hand slips under the fabric Opening her flower releasing a hint of nectar The scent grows exponentially upon the unfurling of petals A glistening finger touches him just above his lip Is that what you want? It's a rhetorical question Yes please What will you do to get it Such a simple question with but one answer Anything you please, Goddess Stick out your tongue He does so in silence, careful that he does not touch her She uses his wet flesh to wipe her finger clean Closer she whispers Now, within a half inch he breathes her in deeply Mesmerized by the dewy goodness held behind the smooth satin Watching desire grow in painfully slow motion He blows out on the growing dampness As he waits for her next command***

Like the gold at the end of a rainbow Lives an angel off the coast of San Diego A dark skinned beauty with a sunshine halo Found her in the water and just had to say hello Her siren voice still echoes in my head Whispering my name so gently with her bated breath Her blinding smile is still burned into my eyes Even in the dark of night or against the great blue sky On a vacation escape from reality I found her, or maybe she found me We fell into an ocean of sensuality Until we were lost at sea... Aquarian Mermaid I swam in her lust and I drowned in her love Nautical Erotica Wishes granted By the gods above Dearly beloved seraph Enchantress of the Sea Sing your magic siren song Heavenly, to me... Angel of the Oceanborne, Navigate me home Across these waters treacherous Everywhere I roam Her siren voice still echoes in my head Whispering my name so gently with her bated breath Her blinding smile is still burned into my eyes Even in the dark of night or against the great blue sky Aquarian Mermaid I swam in her lust and I drowned in her love Nautical Erotica Wishes granted By the gods above

Aquarian Mermaid
Yes He said I miss Your kiss. I can't dismiss Your touch, I miss so much. My words dancing On your tongue He said. The kiss I miss, The thoughts I can't dismiss. Fizzes in my brain Do you feel the same? He said Yes she said, With bated breath. I miss the kiss I can't dismiss Your touch I miss so much. Will you Take your kiss Place it on my lips That miss your touch So much?

Kiss
It was a lovely afternoon When I felt dizzy and soon Started to feel as if my chair's moving I looked up at the pendant hanging Freely and also dancing Back and forth It wasn't just me who was moved It was the earth and the whole building hoofed Back and forth One slip of plate And it moved the whole earth. It was mild I hoped it won't go wild Calling for my loved ones I ran to the ground People hustling, steps making a panic sound From the eighth floor I felt it stopped But as if it read my mind, earth again rocked More than I've ever felt before We all hustled downstairs in case it got wilder more Old people, children running, Mothers, scared, panicked, scooting. Down the building everyone waited Till the earth slowy bated And stopped in a sudden motion We were glad it wasn't that strong Back to home, we all scurried Switched on our televisions in a hurry. Though the earth was soft on us There were places where everything was crushed, Homes, offices, families destroyed Everything because of simple but strong Back and forth What is happening in the world? Is it the human being which the earth loaths?

With hearts in tandem we stand: lip locked bated breath, sweaty palms tongues wrestling to wring a sodden truth. A simple truth that is this: _I love you!_ ~ Inori

A Kiss
The world waited with bated breath What would happen to the man they put to death The world in solemn stillness lay It seemed that death had won and hope was far away All his friends ran away in fright They forgot the words of Jesus Christ: "Destroy this temple and on the third day it'll rise Then you will know this is true and there were no lies" The people walked with heads bent low As fear and anxiety continued to grow Many went back to what they were before And the faith of so many was shaken to the core The sky was gray and the sun looked more dim As if nature itself was dying with him The world waited with bated breath What would happen to the man they put to death The world in solemn stillness lay Death had won and hope had gone away But we have seen what comes next We have read the ancient text We know the end of this great story Christ alive and full in glory Quiet love has conquered all Scattered fear and darkness, brought down the wall "The one who died is now alive" the angels sing, "Rejoice! Sing Hosanna to the Risen King!" Shout it from the mountain tops so all the world can hear Spread the good news to all people far and near We are people of Easter Light in a world dark and dreary In Him we find our hope and strength when we too are weary Rise up Oh Children like the sun on that Easter morn Shine on, like the son for today you are reborn The world waits with bated breath The return of the man we put to death Join me now with the world as together we say: God has overcome and love has come to show the way!

Sheer passion, laden layers after dense layers was the lake,deep blue, His hidden heart was all aflame, in anticipation of her, his hurricane, the wildest girl in town, hard to get, yet he acts placid on the surface one'd see just gently billowing waves. The hurricane has never known any such guile,  hiding passion.Her eyes wide and ***** flashing lightening, cloudy hair disheveled and flying she comes heavily down on her passive lover. rebounds to come back with more force that'd tell how intense her passion runs, churning water goes up in a swirl and dance with her passion,how spectacular is their union, sky and earth look on with bated breath, this ebullient **********

Hurricane over the lake
The solitude of when two hands meet garners thoughts of warmth and want for needs unspoken I miss the days when simplicity was as common as the delicate exhale shared when two lips release from one a other To gaze through sultry windows of the soul, soft yet weary with fervent witness, beckons notions of wanderlust to a place that shines brighter than any I've ever seen I watch, bound by valor for not seeking more through presumptuous ineptitude; bewildered by the plight you've been mired by, I wince at the thought of harm coming to you Your trust exudes a powerful purpose; wrought from the ashes of all that have claimed to impose before, I succumb to the surfeit of such a staggering meaning in that gift I hold myself in bated breath for the day you would ever need my heart for your own, but stay guided to be here in spirit, ever more Although my basic wishes be forlorn, in somber muse I find great purpose to be a part of this grand fate bestowed upon me You are all I've ever sought; and through disbelief, I am remiss of all that's mired me before If only, one day, perhaps we could be more..

escape
Something happens for you something changes, a part of your power a part of your abilities a part of you when you’re faced with truth, and choice, when moving from known into uncertainty and in the face of this adversity, you lose a part of yourself The words want to escape.. I understand it is our nature; yours, mine, everyone's, it is the human condition & our shared suffering but don’t you see? it only masks the demons that come out when fear runs rampant & to win the fight we must be brave & discover what parts of our nature need taming because I’ve seen you move mountains & together we can move Earth itself Imagine for a fleeting moment, the dark side of the moon and it’s just you & I summon that same courage & fervour be bold. in the face of adversity that is my hope for you, that you find your fearlessness so you can be free The smoke it hangs low, a weight in my lungs like the feeling in my soul the forests burn themselves, and out of destruction, the new growth is born, like us be born again, let my love nourish & caress you scars and all rise to the challenge when fear beckons Lay your heavy head and tired mind in my lap and let your tears of sadness, and longing flow in the space between my legs let go. and like that, I will hold you & show you the promises I won’t break let me reveal my inner corners as you show me yours, and prove to you how tender I will be with your delicate heart tell me, how do I show you I am worthy of all your virtue & vanity Something happens for you, something changes when you’re faced with truth, and choice, when moving from known into uncertainty, resist the temptation & give into me instead make love to me. lay your lips on mine & slip yourself into the space between my hips let me show you true ecstasy, let the arch of my back show you what words can’t let our bated breaths & escaping moans be our solemn vow that fear will never rule here again let your fingers get tangled in my hair as your heart beats against mine, as a reminder of what is ours have courage & fervour to hold on, when fear taunts you to let go, when it smirks because the intensity almost burns, & your soul bleeds and your bones ache & your will is tested in these dark moments, find strength in me because something happens for you something changes, a part of your power a part of your abilities a part of you when you’re faced with truth, and choice, when moving from known into uncertainty, when you’re fearless

THEY must to keep their certainty accuse All that are different of a base intent; Pull down established honour; hawk for news Whatever their loose fantasy invent And murmur it with bated breath, as though The abounding gutter had been Helicon Or calumny a song. How can they know Truth flourishes where the student's lamp has shone, And there alone, that have no Solitude? So the crowd come they care not what may come. They have loud music, hope every day renewed And heartier loves; that lamp is from the tomb.

Dog eared pages betray my thoughts or rather the lack there of I think then blink But i'm thinking faster or is it blinking? It doesn't matter Nothing is working Inspiration dances Romances entrances like a cornish pixie teases My muse has gone his return I await with bated breath I wait like fate

lord they say of that home overhead is beauty rapturous but the interred holler a song showing gold to be lead for his might is rancorous thought that allure captures still for when have the greedy had their fill not in this life not in the next for the fearful are still afraid and will be still, when down they're laid despite their fight the sickly go too for all their bated breaths could not help in their deaths that fed the soil what hungered so going silently into that goodnight

Dublin Blues
A long time ago a very young mother Named Kisa Gotami gave birth to a son— A child who was the light of her life. The mother’s love was second to none.   Not long after her son was born, The poor child grew sick and died. “Who can bring my son back to life? Have pity!” Kisa Gotami cried.   The villagers knew that there was nothing They could do to help and suggested That she seek out the help of the Buddha. “He can do wonders,” they attested.   She found the Buddha and beseeched his help. “My only son has died,” she wailed. “Can you bring him back to life. Everything I have tried has failed.”   The Buddha calmly said, “I will help you.” The poor woman waited with bated breath. “But first you must find for me A family that’s never been touched by death.   “When you finally encounter that home, Tell the family there’s something you need— Just one thing to take to the Buddha— And that’s a single mustard seed.”   With great excitement the mother ran From house to house—to every abode. But death had visited every family. On her face, great disappointment showed.   After a long, unsuccessful search, The young mother came to realize That everything born had to die; Everything had to have its demise.   She understood the law of impermanence And that her suffering was not unique. She now saw life from a new perspective; Her eyes were open, so to speak.   Kisa Gotami returned to the Buddha And started to follow his teachings--the Way, Or Path to Enlightenment, Which still guides many seekers today. - by Bob B

You Are untamed Reckless blood and wit intertwined A twisted, brazen
 mind. Your mind Is so clearly different It leaps and soars, so acrobatic And your thoughts appear to me so hazy and enigmatic Your mind is simply not pragmatic Yet your perception knows no bounds. You have thoughts that come close to insanity That sometimes flow in the form of profanity.    Your spirit Is either very high or very low Up and down, to and fro There is no in between for you Some say you are stupidly crazy The dull ones say that, the ones too lazy To see beyond the rugged surface. The subdued and vapid ones Will never understand the magnetism Of your sweet, exquisite devilry. On your face you often wear A fierce and restless stare A wan, discontented expression As though you're always awaiting Something bigger, Something better. You Are fluid, swaying fire And I will never tire Of watching you burn I can see you brain boil and churn As it reels into into areas of
 madness and chaos. Your psyche Is an endless field of dark reverie, Of fear and vagary. I know your night terrors Your savage dreams of death Screams and bated breath Unutterable visions The grotesque world of horror thats spins itself out And dribbles into your drawings All those creatures, skeletons gnashing and clawing... You Are gentle and thoughtful Yet you are terrified Of this dark thing that sleeps within you. Your eyes - they’re stunning They’re tempestuous, Wild, like some fierce animal peering out of a rusted cage Oh, your eyes They are something beautiful, but annihilating Like Autumn crocus flowers, innocently poisonous Lids splaying delicately like its violet leaves. You are tall and strong And uncontrollable, And your smile Is the biggest paradox I've ever encountered Childlike And fatal. You are not A creature of the commonplace You are not a slave of the ordinary You are not a mindless drudge of the mundane You are free. Or bewitched, what's the difference

. We converse without words... Just shudders and crests of bated breaths. Tingles that resonate between echoing beats. We speak without voice... Just deep gazes that peer endless into bottomless eyes. Subtle blinks that freeze the ticks of relentless hands. We talk without sounds... Just slight quivers between parted lips. Holding the other captive in a gentle clasp. We part with no farewell... Just two wilful wisps darting on separate courses. Knowing that paths that meander may someday converge. .

Hello scarecrow, with straw hair and sackcloth skin. Hello scarecrow, with drawn on eyes and a mouth shut with a pin. Your close mouthed smile startles birds,  and so they have flown like fast regretted words. alone I see you in the golden field, alone I feel you, living heart deeply sealed Sewn inside your rugged flesh, a man is watching with bated breath. For a word to signal his return, for the fire to signify his burn. Trapped inside another's skin trapped, waiting for his life to begin. Your eyes watch the world go by, trapped scarecrow waits to die, trapped the scarecrow starts to cry. If I could set you free I swear I would, But unlike you, my skin is made of wood. Goodbye scarecrow, With gritty straw hair and burnt sackcloth skin. Goodbye scarecrow, With living eyes and a skeleton grin.

Here, I do not need to coax the sound— No more tremulous plucks, bated breath, Muting my voice as it slips from my throat Here, It falls as a gift, freely given Resonant as thunder in the mountains Bold and beautiful. How brightly I burn When I do not have to ask To be heard.

Today, I sold the guitar we bought together
Is it greed, or just a deep sense of self hatred That drives you To punish your insides In such a sadistic manner? If the body is a temple, then god only knows What kind of deity you worship. And if suffering truly is the path to glory Then your cirrhosed liver will deliver you, surely To the land of Milk Duds and Honey-O's. It is not a battle of good versus evil But of man versus food; Many are the casualties in this war – Behold the fallen heroes, Wearing their purple hardened arteries Like badges of honour. A triple heart bypass scar bears testament To the bravery of these devotees Who congregate daily at the All-You-Can-Eat. We gather here today, in this cafeteria, To witness this formidable challenge, This ritual of self-desecration, The stop-watch waiting To count down the Seconds To your sweet salvation. With eyes glazed over and bated breath We will watch you eat yourself to death. A celebration of gluttony, The sacrificial lamb (and pork, and beef..) Laid out before you, dripping Hot sauce and melted mozzarella: A 10 pound behemoth That must be slain In order to ensure victory And bring you one step closer To meeting your maker Bon apetit

Glutton for punishment
I called to give you a rearrangement of irony and a bucket full of Jews, I tailor made a rebreather because the past connections were used . Indeed, just like a crossview that encouraged stars to collapse, then did a fix up for the X's and O's so every oxymoron followed with a laugh. A pail of shrubs, an ounce of yore, yesterday you were following your very own bated breath. Up until you challenged yourself to a duel, you didn't look so bad for a disastrous mess. Harms' Way could be the place in town where odds go to get even, or it could be the street where Blow-Pops aren't just made, but also handed out to toothless citizens. We the captured, please and thank you, sir and mam until our captors go, like if you imagine The Godfather in The Graduate, describing how the Komodo dragon roasts. We haven't made it thru a single day since they've come in packs of seven, but today we'll have the chance to share some face time with the hours that we are being given. Misty-eyed, mournful, and very sorry walked in separately from the yard. They drank cold-filtered PBR and joked about all the kids they may have fathered. Has it been four weeks or just four days, since the Ferguson, Missouri Captain resigned his post? I was always taught that for a captain to go out, he or she must go down with their boat. In time where boredom lays around with dynamite by the loads, tomorrow remind me of the basorexia I've had since we met not long ago.

Basorexia
I am not depressed I’m just deflated Out of style and over-dressed At second-best, I’m overrated An old birthday balloon (Out of breath, somewhat bated) I hum my jingles out of tune One-hit-wonders soon outdated Like a song without sound Mourning a muted meltdown I’m at the point of no concern For my inability to yearn I am - Whatever comes after The past, the future The cries, and the laughter I remain – Whatever came before The purple rain, the midnight train The ****** and the ***** I am a pixelated painting Understood by few Inexplicably containing Little drops of you You’re my middle C A sepia photograph Of my mundane eulogy And my previous epitaph You are my bitter half The gall in my bladder My nervous laugh My endless chatter You’re my history rewritten My once shy, twice-bitten My state-of-the-art You’re the bottom of my heart The top of my lungs You’re my talking in tongues The motivational quote In my suicide note And although I’ll never be free From this heart on my sleeve I’ll always wish you to be The Adam to my Eve.

I am not depressed
I don’t remember when I lost my tenderness And hardened into a thick shelled adult No more innocent, no more gullible Like a snake, I have peeled away my old self It was easy enough, but having shed it I realize no spring can bring it back! There was a time when my imagination Was so fiercely fuelled by fairy tales How I used to visit the magic realms Traversing the path from wonder to wonder! On fancy’s feathered wings, I flew Dwelling with fairies, demons and vampires Roaming through the gilded hallways of magic castles Peering into wishing wells Wandering into enchanted forests I searched under pillows for tooth fairies Lay awake in bed to hear a tap on the door With the ringing plea, falling in my ears ‘Open the door, my princess dear Open the door to thy true lover here’ Wondering if a slimy frog has leaped over to my bed Many hours were lost in fearful suspense Pondering if the hoodwinked Red Riding Hood Would escape the claws of death in the woods With bated breath I followed the three Billy goats On their way to the meadows beyond the bridge Cursing the wicked troll that lived under it Scrubbed old lamps hoping a genie would crop up To bring things, my little heart cherished, Looked up to see Aladdin on his magic carpet Whizzing past the clouds, Once I left my homework undone Thinking those helpful elves would do it While I snored away in the dead of the night Now bereft of all such queer fancies My brain has gone into lazy slumber My world once checkered with colorful patterns Now lies damp, dull and laden with strife!

On Fairy Wings
I don’t remember when I lost my tenderness And hardened into a thick shelled adult No more innocent, no more gullible Like a snake, I have peeled away my old self It was easy enough, but having shed it I realize no spring can bring it back! There was a time when my imagination Was so fiercely fuelled by fairy tales How I used to visit the magic realms Traversing the path from wonder to wonder! On fancy’s feathered wings, I flew Dwelling with fairies, demons and vampires Roaming through the gilded hallways of magic castles Peering into wishing wells Wandering into enchanted forests I searched under pillows for tooth fairies Lay awake in bed to hear a tap on the door With the ringing plea, falling in my ears ‘Open the door, my princess dear Open the door to thy true lover here’ Wondering if a slimy frog has leaped over to my bed Many hours were lost in fearful suspense Pondering if the hoodwinked Red Riding Hood Would escape the claws of death in the woods With bated breath I followed the three Billy goats On their way to the meadows beyond the bridge Cursing the wicked troll that lived under it Scrubbed old lamps hoping a genie would crop up To bring things, my little heart cherished, Looked up to see Aladdin on his magic carpet Whizzing past the clouds, Once I left my homework undone Thinking those helpful elves would do it While I snored away in the dead of the night Now bereft of all such queer fancies My brain has gone into lazy slumber My world once checkered with colorful patterns Now lies damp, dull and laden with strife!

Flat as a painting and unmoving the sky lays over us sits on the far horizons all points of the compass we wait for the Moons spectacle in complete stillness Pagan and Christian, Jew and Muslim, all religions and none. Poet and scientist, astrologer and astrologist, werewolves and freaks. The Moon shines without discrimination, while lovers wait with bated breath .
