    • 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.

    • Of all of your lovely love poems this one made me teary eyed 🥹.
      It’s so touching and magical to me. I felt like a fairy princess reading this.
      I love you and all your magical words babe.
      I’m speechless! Kinda. Hahaha

      • Saying that you’re beautiful is me simply stating the obvious. Whether it’s your smile, or the way your hair flows, or your aura of energetic personality, all of it, you are an incredible woman. I will never, ever, be bored around you.

    • Of all your love poems this one made me get 🥹 eyed.
      It’s beautiful and that is how you make me feel all the time.

    • You feel the weight of sadness in this one. pretend it is not a knock at a window. Shows how alone you felt

      • The ending, I changed at the last minute, and you pictured it perfectly. Thanks for letting me know that it hits.
        And you keep kicking butt!

    • It’s just creative writing Brenda, I promise! I try to mix up the subjects and such. I don’t want to be too predictable!

    • Hello Tim!
      This is not current event material. I’m mixing up my subject matter here and there, so as not to be too typical, yaknow?
      Sometimes I read something and it inspires me to write my own thing from it. I get motivated by reading!

    • Thanks Damian. Me and Del are good! I just like to take my writing in different directions, like most of us do. I’m always learning and adapting, I hope.

    • But you are in my head when I write. When are you NOT in my head? LOL. I was going back and forth on this one, as far as how lyrical to make it. I forget what song I was listening to, that got me going on it. But eh, I’m leaving it as is for a bit. You know me!
      And you know that I love you too babydoll. Smooch!
