Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.

I Guess I Do It
Why do I do those things that I do?
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
Trying to give romance a chance.
And playing that love game again.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
You want to see the preacher together?
Can we wait until the 38th of May.
And decide then when to announce,
That perfect day.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
Why do I do those things that I do?
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
Trying to give romance a chance.
And playing that love game again.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For the chance of romance.
I guess I do it,
For suspense and the danger.

Suspension Without Suspense
My divorce from dependence
Thats when you found me
I was too soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And troubles what we are
We get so far
And then it just start rewinding
And the same old song
Were playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Now that Ive murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge
I want to call you but I wont
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
Were playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
Ive been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
Were playing it again
Suspension without suspense
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
Were playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But I dont want the love we have to end

Suspension Without A Suspense
My divorce from dependence
That's when you found me
I was still soft
And we always were in trouble
Odds stacked against us
And trouble's what we are
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Now that I've murdered your inspiration
And I forced you off
Do you hate me?
Do you want revenge?
I want to call you
But I won't
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense
Oh the pessimistic protection plan
Moderation loving
I've been hardened by the circumstance
We knew this was coming
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again
Suspension without suspense
We get so far
And then it just starts rewinding
And the same old song
We're playing it again and again
Suspension without suspense
Intentions without intent
But I don't want the love we have to end

Suspense—is Hostiler than Death
705
Suspense—is Hostiler than Death—
Death—tho'soever Broad,
Is Just Death, and cannot increase—
Suspense—does not conclude—
But perishes—to live anew—
But just anew to die—
Annihilation—plated fresh
With Immortality—

You Should Have Not Bared It All...
to see a part of you like droplets of water from a pipe
is anticipation in short takes like scenery in puzzle
then you undress before me
and i have seen it all: the world
the suspense of a meltdown is gone
and you fade away like a mist in darkness
it is as if someone has arrived
and there is no joy of waiting anymore

Lights, Camera, Action!
Welcome!
To the greatest show on Earth
Seldom, do the actors study their words
Or review their lines or cue in on time
For stories undefined
The talent is slim or full of girth
It’s got romance and drama and chock full of action!
It’s a show for the ages, a fatal attraction!
Tickets are free, come on in and see
No intermissions and fewer distractions
Drink and eat, you’ll jump out your seat!
Witness special effects that cannot be beat!
The grooves in the tunes will make your heart swoon
And the wardrobe itself is an added treat
It’s got humor, suspense, and plot twists galore!
Original characters; original score!
You’ll cheer and you’ll jeer and you’ll fill up with fear
You might want to leave but you can’t find the door!

It Is Me
He sat in his own world
writing down the stories
that came to his mind.
He never watched time,
for him there
was no time.
He wrote stories of love,
of mystery and suspense.
He wrote of everything
that popped into his head.
He was not a lonely person
as his characters kept him company.
He wrote things
for every writing sphere,
but there was one thing
he could not write
which may come as a surprise
to everyone.
He could not write a letter
no matter how hard he tried.
His mind went completely blank
whenever he tried.
Yet he could write
just about everything else.
He could write songs,
he could write stories at will.
He could write poems
on everything,
but writing a letter
was something he could not do.
Now all who read this
might take it as a joke,
but it is very true
every word I have spoke,
and how would I know that.
The answer is simple it is me.

We Negotiate
Electric as the wind in sizzling mode,
The sweat of the train is at best and bliss;
I cleanly arrive supported by statesmen,
The friendly haste is suspense,
These wars are fought from the ground.
Let discussion be swift in speed and scale,
After destination is the result of suspense,
We are clever as the weasel at news and sorts,
Our trains deplore the destinations of conversations.
My wind has forced my arrival,
The chief accuses the abusers,
The debate has turned into a riot
Of single gongs, awful wrongful talk.
Electric is the wind from house of importance,
The house of the offices and officialdom.
We greatly offend on solid words
The retraction and invasion of words.

Some Stories
some stories
about ourselves
are also the stories of
themselves
and then we write
these stories and
pretend that these are
but some short stories
from our mind
now in different names
and places
we read them and then
we wish that some of
these short stories
are not true at all
sometimes for those
we want to be
we want to believe
them to be true
wishes and hopes and
regrets, what if? what if i
chose that rather than this?
we poets write about pain
and joys and we tell sometimes
that we only fake them
deep inside we are silent
we prefer just to be left alone

Those who are nourished by hope live ever in suspense, and enjoy not life.
Ideally, I like to integrate the human issues into the suspense story itself.
