Pandora's Paradox~

Press the outer limits

 of sanity

consenting

 to denial's deep fix

engrossed in past filings

oblivious

 to the ebbs and flow

whilst darkness looms,

slicing through

 distinct fears,

hearts frozen past

masking pain

 with a smile,

 dancing alone on a wire

the world moves

 forward

with or without words

awaiting 

a finished masterpiece,

scavenging

 for a new reality

never finding an ending,

closure

 a foreign enigma

an inexpugnable defeat, 

losing

 the grip on life

meekly accepting fate,

running

 headlong to acquiescence

multitudes of quantum

 leaps towards

confining

 self made prisons,

unto

 exhaustive

 ~paradox of secrets~

The title intrigues me from the very start. It made me think about mythological box from the Greeks. It made me read more about the subject matter maybe because I have a vague memory about the storyline of the box. Hehe…

“Pandora's box triumphs...”

The myth’s says that the box contains all the evil in the world. But I would say the storyline of the myth is not much related to this piece, yet it is your own version, your own box – It explains your denial and being the prisoner of your own doing or self-made choices. This box contains secrets that is hard to let go and it confines you to your own sanity.

Very nice work my friend. :)

Always have to tweak the tale to fit our own needs Pax, thanks so much my sweet friend, nice to see you again. :-)

I debated over whether to review this one now given that the last one I read is still simmering in my mind, but really I can't read something by you and simply shelve it for a later time...your stuff just grips me that way Mrs.R...the world moves forward with or without words...I think we try to suppress that reality as writers but it is just that, reality. Yet what would we do ourselves without the support of other writers? Well as you know in my case, I don't adapt to everyday life terribly well when I don't have it. But we're all in this together, and I'm blessed to have you in my "together" :) xo

Your intelligence shines through in this lovely poem, Frieda. I definitely adore your choice of words.

[Frieda P]

I like the words above. All of us have secrets that need to stay bury. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Some we'd love to bury, yes....thanks so much Coyote.

You capture the essense of the snare. When one holds onto the beliefs of past if's and could've beens, nuturing the thoughts into exhaustive insanities.

[Frieda P]

Nice to see you again Michael, hard to let go of those sometimes, thanks so much...

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, sorry I've been gone so long. My daughter and grandson moved back to Florida, actually right done the road. So now grandpa gets to be dad again since his father is not in the picture and I'm loving it. I see you are still churning out beautiful notions. I'm in a stall my
myself

How sweet, good for you...sometimes life gets in the way of poetry, you'll get your rhythm back soon enough.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, like the new profile pic.

[Frieda P]

Thank you, that's my favorite pic of my eldest son with me....

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

An indulgent and salty piece, is rams at the mind to open and soak up the imagery and complex world of Frieda, well done, great read.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Thomas.

[NeiL ArandA]

a foreign enigma
an inexpugnable defeat,
losing
the grip on life
meekly accepting fate,
running
headlong to acquiescence
multitudes of quantum
leaps towards
confining
self made prisons

Within this piece runs some Buddhist wisdom, methinks.

[Frieda P]

Buddhist wisdom, how I wish...thanks for the thought Pryde.
