    Pendulums

    Tick and tock sounds from the clock
    With gears and pendulums
    Right to left and left to right
    This chronometer hums

    I've been like a pendulum
    Swinging from end to end
    Somewhere between love and hate
    From enemy to friend

    Back and forth to each extreme
    It's like I can't decide
    How I need to act, in fact
    I've laughed and I have cried

    My mood swings from here to there
    From the bottom to top
    I must flee monotony
    And settle down and stop

    Some assume it's been a phase
    But I believe I can
    Put an end to patterns that
    Make me less of a man

    Pendulums are made for clocks
    They should not symbolize
    The way I've been treating you
    I must apologize

    Let your yes be yes and your no be no...for a very good reason. Indecision creates calamity for in fact it is the 'I Don't Knows' that are not concrete. Foundationally unsound and lacking wisdom. So let your yes be yes and your no be no then you will know who you are and what you stand for. It's a pleasure to know ya and I'm sure you feel the same. In regards to YOU.:)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
