Pandora's box



Sitting at the edge possibly dangling over by the thinnest wire a mysterious box looks temping to open it. The steam ripples out across her box sitting in caged, the heat of the moment. Flames of desire leap up into the sky her pain reached over every element of the earth.

I let my curiosity mind open the box running and racing thoughts poor over me that beckon at my will. Knowing it was wrong I opened Pandora's Box. Slowly I felt a hush of silence come over me feeling the ultimate of a desire that was trapped inside of me.

Possibilities danced in my mind for what pleasures might be there? Riches unbounded, beauty unsurpassed, joy beyond imagination. But, what if instead the dread that lurks behind the surface of my conscious mind hearing the vibrations echo the terrors of countries waiting in the depths of pure souls turning in the night.

Moments later a fleet of leaves float off a tree landing on the ground the Earth only a chill could it be a hope that would keep me alive? Unbearable curiosity outweighs all caution in my life sometimes never holding back.

Trembling with anticipated delight or it is fear? Anger and pain alone I hurt because that's what loners do if the wire were to break if I were to fall chaos would take control because I am Pandora's box.

Once opened all of everything that was trapped deep within me it would break loose things you have been warned to stay away from would manifest in me. I wouldn't become taboo though I thinking I might be worthy to be looked at and worthy to be loved all would turn to me opening my box.

I am Pandora's box calling to you daring you, asking you to open the box just see what's inside what makes me tick putting away the anger, sadness, hunger, deep unnerving pain, beat through my barrier.

About this poem:
I wrote this as to express my inner feelings what was going on at that time. If you can understand what Pandora's box is or know about who she is in history. Then you can understand why I wrote this poem back in the day.

Regarding True Identity.

I am the web that weaves strands spun with silk smooth to the touch. I am the moon sister howling to the stars above in the sky bright light shining universe the space in between.

I am the day and of the night, for I am the sun and the earth a starving woman and I am a whaling child. I am the sound which can break the silence calling out and hearing the echo of the wind and rain. I am dirt and fire essence is eternal to be only void of all.

I am whole to the concept of having many splinters that have dug so deeply from the wounds of many. I am one who don’t bend to anyone who has shown me any dis respect, I am but yet a human being who’s feelings can be hurt, I am one with a broken heart, I am one who has seen and tasted great fears and joy of love in life.

I am but yet a reality standing in front of you ready to face the challenges in life the journey. I am the coin both different on the sides but smooth the touch.

I am balance of the scales never one side to out weight the other heart against the feather facing the truth of justice holding the sword against me asking me how do you come to me?

With this I answer I have no fear, I show no boundaries, I have no lost or no gain, I am that of a leaf falling from the tree touching the ground in silence, I am the clouds above floating moving and changing shapes.

I am the trust of one self-image, I am in the beauty of the beholder, I am the eyes which look and see beyond, I am the mirror looking back, and for I am Regarding true identity.

The Edge of the Universe

The Edge of the universe
Here I am standing on the edge of the world gazing upwards at the stars glimmer in the night sky.

My reflection of life travels through my mind like a vastness of everlasting time. Experiences shall be rendered like vivid images from a past lifetime.

Historic syncing though space reaching far beyond the human intellect, mortality for the unknown to embrace qualities perfect defects.

I walk out on the edge of the universe open eyes and look far to the twilight whispering wonders appear before me.

The Edge of the universe see it, feel it, hear it……

Lilith walking on the edge of Eden

Oh, For she stood on the skirt of Eden with a whisper of a snake in her ear. She being the first that was driven from the subdue. Woman of right and wrong, your name has echoed through the rivers that run wild to give life water to the tree of knowledge.

Lilith, knowing the speech of the serpent giving to the coil to mankind, secret slides of words beacon my call to you.

While in the garden of eden she walks among the dry soil and the beating of her heart stood still for a moment. Look at her beauty for lend me your shape, for thou art cold and fire is in my body feeling my passion and desire to want to walk along with you in the garden.

For you have eaten from the tree of knowledge the apple the fruit of forbidden pleasures.

A Funny Story in Song...

This all happened on "The Night Chicago Died" and even a "Photograph" of "Sister Christian" as a Centerfold" drinking "Red Red Wine" was not enough to stop the "Wild World".

The “Boys of Summer” will just “Keep on Smiling” as they eat "Rock Lobster" and drink "Two Pina Coladas" each with their “Friends in Low Places” while trying to get rid of "That Smell". "Jumpin' Jack Flash" also rang "Hell's Bells" with a "Black Magic Woman" on “Ladies Night”. "Brother Louie" was "Waiting For a Girl Like You", "Mandy". Now "People Get Ready" to "Rock The Casbah".

“Brandy” was a fine girl who was happy to hear “The Boys Are Back in Town”, but only “One Tin Soldier” rode in on a “Horse With No Name”. Meanwhile, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” told "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" to “Go on Take the Money and Run”, but “Don’t Take The Girl” to the "Midnight Special".

Now you would think a “Home By The Sea” would be enough for an “Island Girl” who fell in love with a “Jukebox Hero”. But “No No” she went to the “Neon Moon” and met a guy who was “Bad to the Bone”. She whispered, “All I Want to Do is Make Love To You” as we spend our “Nights in White Satin”. He said, "Gimme all your lovin'" cause I've got "Two Tickets to Paradise." Now don't "Bang Your Head" cause this may sound like the “Pina Colada Song”. “Believe” me it's just a "Love Story".

Elsewhere while “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay”, “Ahab the Arab” said “I Shot the Sheriff”, but I “Don’t Mess Around With Jim”. "Big John" told him to "Get Together" with "Layla" before he became a "Solitary Man". He took his advice and asked her “Do you think I’m Sexy”? “She Said” “You Better You Bet” and they grabbed a "Jet Airliner" to "Rio."


Now with that being said, I’m taking a "Magic Carpet Ride" to catch the “Midnight Train to Georgia” with the “Band On The Run.” LOLOLOLOL “I Swear” “I’ve Got Too Much Time On My Hands.” “Keep on Rockin’ Me Baby”!!

The power of words and the power of meaning behind the song...

I often think far too deeply music is life, music is love, music can be the worst pain reminders, music can be an encouragement to guide you to where you dream to be in life. Music can give you that hope to carry on...


I feel like crying, the tears are trapped...I want my baby she's not a baby now, she's three years old... This song is utterly breaking beautifully deep.


I JUST WANT MY OLIVIA BACK!!! ITS BEEN THREE YEARS IVE NOT SEEN YOU THE 28TH AUGUST, NOW It's NOT FAIR:-(

Not Tonight but Tomorrow (1978)

Not tonight but tomorrow
when the light turns the peach
tree green and the Earth sprouts
its young leaves looking to repeat
the magical mystery tour of
photosynthetic conversion of light
and moisture into life—
Not tonight but tomorrow
when my body will have shed
its fear of turning old and soft
will I turn my speeding mind
into the tunnels of your psyche
to melt the calcium that constipates
your synapses into a lubricating powder—
Not tonight but tomorrow
when the Universe moves on
beyond the field of action
that is the Earth to me and you
will I discover the interplanetary clues
that signal the roots of my moment to you—
Not tonight but tomorrow
will I throw my feelings into
The streets to stew
in the violence and despair
of our planet—
Not tonight but tomorrow
will the Earth turn green again.

The Burdens Of My Life

From the day I was born as a baby to the present day
Growing up as a child I discovered various difficult tasks
Including learning the English language also maths and
Other subjects. Things became harder during my teen years
Pubity and love, I knew nothing about, high school I left when I
Was sixteen then looked for work it was not easy but managed
To handle it well. I played sport like Squash, ice skating,and
Others, money was hard when I received my first credit card
It was not long before it was a test of nerves using it as the debit
Was building up. Eventually getting married in the late 1970’s
We had two girls. Problems of raising them I realised, organising
The family was a big responsibility for us both, The children
Went to school, purchasing school clothing stretched the budget
As time went on the children grew up and eventually left home in
The 90’s, living in government housing helped us but other pressures
Crept in I was out of work, getting the dole while trying desperate
Finding work to no effect as later I retired living to survive in 2000.
Divorce followed and then the dreaded Diabetes which claimed
My left leg. 2018 I was in hospital recovering from my injury
Then physiotherapy training me with a prosthetic leg, all the pain and
Suffering, everything was almost normal, in 2022 in February my
Glucose level was very high, the Ambulance took me to hospital
Where I was later put in various nursing homes. It was very hard for me
To adjust to being enslaved in these homes, as I suffered traumatic
Experience beyond belief being starved regularly, I could not adapt
To these circumstances, this is were I am staying living with no hope
Of having no quality of life hardly seeing family members. A terrible
Epitaph for me victim of bad doctors, their medication and amputation
Which has robbed me of a normal life, I am sitting in my bed now
Writing this. My future is uncertain, nothing to look forward to
My life what’s left of it, when I sleep I think of things that I loved to do
My family, friends it makes me want to cry, Where do I go from here .?
