Pendulum





Tonight I think of you
though I shouldn’t…
I extract you
from my mind.

Your beauty and confusion
Leave me lost, perplexed
and undefined.

The pendulum swings
From the left to the right
I am caught in between…

And every moment
that I think
Is a thought
I’ve left behind.

You are wonderful
Though you think it not so
You are the shooting
Of every star…

And if only
I could hold you tonight
I could tell you
Who you are.

will

It could have been today
Or yesterday
Or tomorrow…
Who can tell?

It could have been good
Or better
Or the best…
Who knows?

It could have been me
Or you
Or us…
I wonder…

You cry at night
While I am sleeping
While my cracked hands
Could hold you…

You sleep at night
While I am weeping
Wondering just how
To reach you…

It isn’t a day that
Changes us…
Doesn’t happen
In one moment…

Takes a lifetime to get
Where we’re going

And as much will
To get us there.
