Pendulous Mind

I want to break free
from the bounds of your smothering love
and the conforms of this life

I want to break free
from molding to the path you take
and your presumptions of me

I want to break free
from the facade of demureness
and sprint for insolent gratification

I want to break free
from the shackles of our vows
and diffuse into the mists of solitude

I want to break free 
from the cage of this marriage
and plummet from the pedestal you have placed me on

I want to break free
from the norms of the family
and delve into the depths of quiescence

With the four words you said,
Honey, I'm home, 
Your voice drifts into my ears 
jolting me from the slumber of trechery
leading me away from the precipitous cliff
to a serene meadow, our meadow, our home

I laugh at the wild swings of my pendulous mind,
as I uncover the roots of our endearment
Ending my eternal wanderings
forever I am glad to be with you,
Honey, I'm home too!
