Pandora's Box

You opened me up....

and everything came pouring out.

The energy, creativity...the love...and hate.

Spilling,

crashing to the ground,

like waves upon the shore,

pounding...

over and over,

like two lovers,

or a crazy man smashing his head against a wall.

Till it has to be put away again, everything and nothing,

all in a box for you to open,

If you dare...

-- brilliant... this is an invitation to take a risk... and it truly is risky to know anyone intimately... their inner radiance and their inner darkness... and then it takes a lot to accept all of it and also cherish all of it... -- i know i haven't learnt how to take such a risk... and be comfortable with it and i also know that the person who is taking this risk by attempting to know me is not comfortable either... maybe we will evolve into accepting people, maybe not... but i'll remember this piece for being so incredibly insightful...

So descriptive. Very good.

This poem would be great to play with line and structure--visually sense the chaos!

ahh.. the box.. I think i am more like the rubrics cube, not everyone knows how to put it back together.

maybe we can have two zpilocked bags inside that box. One labeled: good and the other labeled: not so good :D

Wonderful poem; it has such a nice flow to it, and it simply rolls off the tongue, the melodicity and the rhythm are great too.

Once you open it you have to take everything in the box - you cannot pick and choose. Each of us is a 'pandora's box'....really like this, Terry

Unwrapping love can be a dangerous thing, there's good and there's bad...
Hopefully mostly good though, like this poem. :)
