"Pendulum"
The pendulum swings wildly,
From one end to the other
In an aleatory motion;
There is no prediction to make,
No certainty to find there.
The undulations of moods
Wreak havoc on psyches,
Where they necessarily
Are released into
An unguarded mind.
As cities build walls
To protect and isolate,
So do I, in a foolhardy attempt
To stop my moods
From matching yours,
To stop my mind from spinning
When you walk in the room.
From one end to the other
In an aleatory motion;
There is no prediction to make,
No certainty to find there.
The undulations of moods
Wreak havoc on psyches,
Where they necessarily
Are released into
An unguarded mind.
As cities build walls
To protect and isolate,
So do I, in a foolhardy attempt
To stop my moods
From matching yours,
To stop my mind from spinning
When you walk in the room.

Your poetry always touches me with its truth and intimacy and beauty. <3

(Psst - I used a thesaurus on "aleatory" because I was looking for a better word and I saw that and thought it just looked and sounded nice; I've got a pretty big vocabulary but I added a new word to it today, too!)
