Pandoras Box
Do you always get burned
When you play with fire?
Must you always
Extinguish your desire?
Not to open Pandora’s box
Yet gave the key for me unlock.
You cleaver fox
This box unlock.
For in its contents
I did find
Such confusion for my mind
For out come poring
Contradict emotion flowing
Knew you well
Resist could not
Not to open Pandora’s box
Gave the key
Now take it back
This temptation
I shall free
Free I shall
You from me
For swear I do
And oath forged forth
This desire
extinguish not ignite.
With water held
High in hand
Pouring onto what
Burns within.
Burns under my skin
Revealed too thin
Weakness overcome
Deliverance from.
From this cleaver fox
Custodian Pandora’s box.
Held within content
dreams of nights embrace
Filled and emptiness
Dreams of loves illusion
Lost in passion confusion
Dreams to reality
Never to make
For both to know
To much at stake.
