Pendulum of Pain

In a bad romance
The pendulum of pain swings
Between two winners
One winning "I love you more"
The other "I'll hurt you more"

Like a pendulum, 
Those navajo beads swinging
Upon clothing rack
On which my robes are hanging,
With an aqua quartz dangling.

Swinging Pendulum

My life is like a clock
My pendulum swings to the right and left
When I go right I am never wrong
When I go left I am never right

Time Moves On

I no longer have hands
No gears or pendulum that swings
No springs or screws
I have become digital 

What has time done to itself?

My Old Clock

Sometimes fast
and sometimes slow,
the pendulum swings
to and fro.
Is it early?
Is it late?
Let's leave our cares
to time and fate.
Form: Verse


Premium Member I stopped the clocks

when Tahira died. 

I won’’t nudge 
the pendulum 
back to ticking-tock 
time or constant 
living
until I feel alive 
again.

You're tired of studying the spring? 
Rise above that and learn to swing.
It's oscillatory motion, you bum, 
The science of the pendulum.

Yesterday has been gone for so long
Bring back the memories when life was young
Time has changed because the pendulum swung

the hammer falls
setting the pendulum in motion
a moment of truth
after a long silence
held together
by a single bated breath

Back Pain Cure

The pendulum swings both to and fro
over a chest breathing in so slow,
and as the blade lowers down
a smile is seen, not a frown...
breast reduction for a price so low!

Amused

I’m amused
I have with me
a trophy
a red ripe tomato
a beautiful flower
a sharp thorn
a pendulum
a tick tock clock
a ping pong ball
a double-edged pin
my lost rib

The Flaws of Men

Power and wealth
Are the 
Aphrodisiacs of men
Ancient stones glorify
This immortality, again
Time swings her 
Pendulum in this wind
Yet, we carry 
These flaws of men

Premium Member ticking off

past breaking point wound up to the limit ~ the hour hand passed a minute

said the second hand to the pendulum ~ who snapped, it’s spring time innit

The pendulum springs, the head is cluttered

The pendulum sings, the head is fluttered

The pendulum swings, the head is levered

The pendulum stings, the head is severed

Premium Member The Agony

in the 
ineluctable
grasp
of an
eye's
blink
the years
of praying
lonely
terrifying
vulnerable
oh, 
the agony --
the verdict
life or
death
the
pendulum
 swings

Premium Member Killing Empathy

With that pendulum you shatter,
killing empathy with your mood swings;
Slivers remain scattered    
mixed with understanding, 
a pile of rubbish cracking the opulent floor.

Premium Member Not Too Fat, Just Too Short

Measuring up depends
on which way you look at it
a seesaw rocks from side to side
a pendulum swings to and fro
who says which side the weight is placed
on a pairs of scales.

Untitled

Because the wind swaggers like
the swaying pendulum blade,

I can tell that the trees suffer too,
when their dew drips like tears
as they flourish horizontally on the ground.

In a Blink

window glazed by stars as light hangs on pendulum dwindling much quicker than hours of long duskfall … gone in a blink through time’s frame.

Footsteps In the Hall

After midnight
the pendulum stalls
Chimes to deaden 
as darkness calls
A clanking chain
the haunt begins 
Till daylight threatens
—the shadows dim
