My Pendulous Heart

Within the subtle soundless silence
There exist echoes of a lingering loud
My pendulous heart decrees in defiance
Such emotions plundered and ploughed

Like a geocentric giant guillotine
My lamenting love sacrificially sliced
My soul slaved in the Enigma machine
Where dreams are deceptively diced

The loving light battles the darkest day
And sorrows surrender at portals gate
For love barely escapes the submissive sway
Marauding memories reminisce and recreate

Stained surreal abiding accumulative art
A priceless painting of my Pendulous Heart.

This is indeed a priceless painting of your pendulous heart. Congratulations on your win in my contest. Your words come straight from the heart and touch me. A lot of personal and probably painful emotion has gone into this poem and that makes it sad, beautiful and very valuable. Many wishes, Kai
