      • This form of poetry is so entrancing. “That some boundaries are crossed by desire.” Feel that.

        • Thanks Fia. I read up on the story a couple of times, and was contemplating adding more gods names dropped in it. But nah, I decided to keep it mostly intimate between the two. The idea was to keep it symbolic, erotic, but not to cross the obvious language of the obvious. lol.

      • There is so much power in this write!
        Each line conjures such intense emotional pull. Like magnets colliding!
        You’r waiting for an explosion 💥 that feels exquisite. You had me at the edge of my seat reading this. Hahah.
        Phew, this was intense and filled with curiosity.
        Loved everything about this and you!

        • not to mention the connection with the name “Pandora”… I was going to take and use a picture of one of the small jewelry boxes here on the(your) dresser. But the one I used works too I guess.
          You know how long I messed with this write. I still see a little bit of edits… But I’m resting it. LOL
          Hey, it’s no secret where such inspiration comes from, for me to get ideas like this! What!

          Pew pew!

      • The splendor of your poem filled me as I read with a rapturous yet softly and darkly wonder. I could see Pandora with her jar and the first tentative attraction unfolding until that jar of opened and the tempests come. But after the storm there is a truth in her being that is irresistible and compelling in the utmost. I could feel this in my heart and it was a truly splendorous read.

        • Much appreciated, John. That’s quite a comment! I was really torn over whether to write of the result of the opening moreso. But decided to end it the way it is. Mostly because the write became a bit too lengthy, so I felt the need to cut it like I did.
          Your comment is awesome, thank you!

      • Thank you very much, Bat. This one took quite a bit of work!
        How’s Gotham? 😉

      • Well what a hell of a comment, Brenda. Thanks for that. I’m trying to find subjects a bit unordinary. This one was a leap!

      • I am doing well, Damian. A recent trip to Texas (to see Del) was awesome.
        Thank you for the supportive comment, too. This one took quite a bit of work, and hacking up the lines, for days. I’m trying to be interesting for the reader/s, so any encouraging words go a long way. Thank you.

      1986:I saw the girl on the bus today. Standing in the wasteland by the burnt-out shell of the reactor. Posing, with a dirty old tyre, on shiny carbon grit surrounded by the irradiated windswept scrub. Much of the green...

      Jess loves to drive at night, the thrill of the chase, the glowing array of lights on her dashboard. She feels dark: deep suntan, ripe plum lips, dark mascara, leather jacket, driving gloves. Feels in the mood: the girl...
