Pendulum

Swaying like a pendulum,
back and forth
swinging around emotions
transition
giddy thrill of new love rising
spilling over can't contain it
flowing
running

the darkness creeps in then
black hands grasping
tight squeeze around your chest
difficult breathing
constrict
eliminate
end

and light and wonderful thoughts
walking strolling holding hands and
feeling
awakening
newfound lease on life
and the joy of beautiful
wonderful
sweet smelling
sweet heart
near by

and it maybe isn't fair
but it isn't your option
that soon you get
straight to the
dark
waiting
isn't going anyplace
without your soul
