Pendulum and me

O' God
Why did
the pendulum
mock at me?
Doesnt it swing
under the gravity
like I do
under a woman?
Doesnt it have
a heavy
inverse head
unlike I do?
Or may be
it mocks,
as I have
two eyes,ears
and a nose
with a
straight wise head
to imitate it
flawlessly
and blindly.

Hopelessly in love

Don't you
play
the silent
alibi,

a belief
so false,
yet intense
to seem true.

I'm aware
that I was
in search
of the
Fool's Gold.

Yet,

I'm a man
gone astray
to be
hopelessly
in love.
