Father Time's Pendulous Tongue
It's often said that time flies like the wind
If not used, it's something we can't rescind
Father Time is quite old
His hands we cannot hold
His incessant movement leaves us chagrined
The annoying sound of his tick-tocking
is tiresome in the language of clocking
His pendulum tongue
swings but it should be wrung
for it seems to be wagging and mocking
I wonder

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

No contraception
allowed. Poor thing.
Must let it swing.
Pendulous abdomen.

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

Pendulous
Consciouness finds me and jerks me awake.
In a dusky dank cell closed in and opaque.
No circulation, my hands were bound!
My legs were tied, I couldn't move around!
My pulse takes on unbearable beat.
My mind is playing tricks, and then evilly repeats!
Swish, swish, came a hideous sound.
Closer and closer it creeps rendering me spellbound.
My skin crawls in
