Best Pendulum Poems

A string wrapped around a spindle
Unwinding as an hourglass marks time
Sand trickles to the chamber below
marking the moments of my life not truly lived
I hear the clock ticking
as I watch the pendulum swing backwards and stop
The sound of silence drives me mad
I feel the night...

Each notch in my gear feels your verge moving
Swinging my pendulum slowly back and forth
Moving my weights downward pulling on my chain
Each tick becomes a tock then striking my chimes

Creating this melody in time my second hand moves slowly
Down to your six while my other...

I am on the pendulum of life.
It is swinging slowly.
But with determined 
Heaviness.

It is my job
To lighten it up or
Party-ize it.
To make it more
Human as it swings
With wide arcs 

Through the swamp of life.
I see the crocodiles
Waiting for me to
Fall off, so I can
Be either

Immediately...

Mood swings
Emotions racing out of control
Chameleon dragster,
my mind is a desert road
Right now I feel like a ten-year-old,
whose giddy with getting a happy meal
Who knows, one hour from now ...
I could be middle aging,
full of sad regrets about the life I lived
The pendulum swings
If I...

Movements between a left and a right swing
A pendulum plays a well-known rhythm
Moments between the ticking and tocking

A lonely figure bracing in the storm
An empty park-bench on a quiet lawn
A pendulum plays a well-known rhythm

Like a long lost memory towards dawn
The distant baying of a...

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone, my anchor, my backbone
when I wobble in the wind over...

living in boredom
soul screams for activity
turmoil requires rest

happy mediums
exist in cloud cuckoo land
life's pendulum swings

enjoy all the ups
enjoy the extremities
enjoy all the downs

Numbers are great bearers of truth.                                       ...

Whenever you feel unapppreciated
When it feels like no one sees your effort
you have to realise that life has become hurried 
people are jostling for awards
that are all in their minds 
they have become so preoccupied with being first in line
that the word empathy has gone...

__uPON her shoes__

The best I could do 
Is to sit upon her shoes.
The show is still on,
So don't judge me now...move on!

She is still sleeping
And she wants no awakening.
She loves me and wants me idle
And sit upon her shoes.

One hour gone,
Two hours gone...
Now five hours...

Pendulums have been used for divining -
for finding bombs, water and gold ore
But you just need a crystal on a string
to find some answers you are looking for!

There’s something that you really want to know -
like where’s the key you lost and cannot find
or where’s...

From every birth to every death
Underneath the sky
Every day in moments of music and tears
Every week month and year
Opaque and clear
The constant continuum
Containing millions of shades
From blades of love-grass
To mass of pain and scum
In between
The cold to hot sun
The cup of sweet milk to
The glass...

Forgive if I borrow, write and craft some sorrow
Beg and steal, I give you this now and tomorrow
Pen me under stars, pit me against the best
I'll write you a sonnet, put your heart to the test

Cause darlin I gotta know what it feels like
To taste...

In my sanctuary’s hush where Poe’s tales I clasp
Into his world I plunge with a breath, a rasp.
Beneath the creaking floorboards a heart's pulse
In my mind, my mind, oh it throbs and gasps;
Suddenly then I'm the culprit in horror's vice! 
My soul enclasped.

Entombed alive in...

gotta hurry, little time for chatter
not on-deck, always the current batter
pendulum swinging at a hastened pace
as if existence were a non-stop race

skip over letters go straight for the words
type of education most find absurd
continue to grind no matter how stressed
pushing onward, no need to stop...
