Hear me

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

You didn’t hear me, did you? My face started to shiver, the sky went dark as my hands started to quiver, thunder roared from the skies, my blood ran cold as an icy river

You don’t hear me, do you? I felt my mouth run dry, felt like years gone by since I felt the urge to cry, a single tear dropped from my eye, so much time wasted but yet I still try, you grab my hands, why do I still feel shy, I still love you, but should you ask, I would deny

You won’t hear me, will you? I finally resign, the skies open and the sun begins to shine, warm my blood once more, light the candles to my shrine, my body, my temple, perfect architecture of my design, I don’t need you to notice me, I’ll be just fine

My trauma, my teacher

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

My trauma, my teacher, my motivational speaker, whisperer in my ear, most bias preacher,

Moulded in the harsh environments of life, blackened coal of pressure, suffering and strife,

My trauma, skilled sculptor, you have formed me in your image, with your patriarchal pressures, made part of thy lineage,

Talented builder, your walls hold firm in mind and heart, gatekeeper of vulnerability, your influence present from the start,

My trauma, heartless torturer, yet my best interests considered, cold and unforgiving, hands tied since the beginning

”Hands tied since the beginning”

Your love, an experience

Your mind a treasure trove, your body a burning stove, your soul a peaceful land, love more bountiful than desert sand

I can’t help but stare into your eyes as they lead me on a new adventure, what an angelic presence, no conjecture, heart to heart, high blood pressure, let our spirits moan with the tone of a heavenly falsetto

Take my hand and fling me to new lands unknown, let us float through the stratosphere, swim the caverns of the deepest seas, dance throughout the galaxies and set our imaginations free, babe become as one with me

Letter to my lover

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

The first time we met, I had no idea you would change the way I see the world, I had no idea life could feel this way, I would gladly take your hand into the sunrise to seize each day

You opened my eyes to colours and the way that they feel, the passion of a fiery crimson sunset, sweet serenity of amber fields and rolling green hills, the soothing azure of an ocean riddled with ripples

You helped me hear words unspoken, realise dreams untold, to sit surrounded by darkness and watch the beauty unfold, be cleansed by the purity of a blinding light, to find what matters most, to stand and fight

You showed me the world through your charming eyes, so full of hope, your touch in anxious moments has helped me cope, your calming voice in the silence of deafening depression, your acts of kindness when faced with raw aggression

You understand me and I pray I understand you too, soulmates on an astral plane, a real love so true, everyday a new connection, our true love brand new

The true love of my life, my beautiful wife!

You drive me crazy and that’s okay

You drive me crazy, you make my day, you give me headaches, when you moan to play, you drive me crazy and that’s okay, because I wouldn’t spend my time with you, any other way

You’re always hungry, where do you keep all that food, I’m sorry that dad’s not always in the mood, understand that I’m tired and work hard everyday, to give you the best, in every way

Know that dad loves you and you’re his best friend, I’ll always be there for you, you can always depend, bring me your troubles, bring me your peace, we’ll share every victory and every defeat

So sleep sweet my baby, I’ll be here when you rise, you’ll always be my baby, no matter your size

The Game of Love is rough

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

Why do you make me relive the memory, you know how deep it cuts, am I the sucker for punishment, since I set myself up for the punch

Should I have just walked away from you and tried to heal my heart all alone, or should I do what I really want to do and just cut you right back to the bone

My blood runs cold through a heart of stone, everytime that I pick up your phone, I still can’t believe, you chose to deceive, while still telling me I was the one

But somewhere deep I still care for you, there’s a flame there that I can not snuff, you broke all the rules, made us both the fools, left us scrambling for tools trying to fix this,

Gave you all my love, still was not enough, guess the game of love tends to get rough, but I’m thankful too, when it comes to you, just keep showing me how to be tough

The Broken man

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

Quiet Friday afternoon, the sun will sure be setting soon, ground floor of a cheap motel, an empty man that’s just a shell

Car broke down, it’s somewhere stuck, a broken man down on his luck, all his life a punching bag, discarded like a torn up rag

Trying just to numb the pain, a loaded needle to a vein, he knows it’s not the way to deal, he just can’t cope with how he feels

Turns off the lights and goes to bed, demons dancing through his head, eyes shut he begins to pray, tomorrow brings a better day

Predators, Prey & Perversions

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

Concrete jungle predator, the scent of your prey excites you, infatuated by her silhouette, the thought of the hunt ignites you

Dark alleys, dim lit streets and untrimmed hedges, hunting grounds for perverted pleasures, the thrill of being caught tonight, keeps you well obscured from sight

The hairs upon her arms begins to stand, she knows you’re out there and your plans, even though you’re not in view, be careful, she’s prepared for you

Notice one hand in her purse, beware her kink is more perverse, although you fancy yourself the hunter, your ignorance your biggest blunder

She turns down a deserted street, her mini skirt has you in heat, you can’t resist, begin to run, she smiles and pulls her loaded gun

One shot, two shots, three shots, four, your lifeless body hits the floor, one arm, one leg, one head, one heart, she hunted you right from the start

Your game

On By Pandora PoemsLeave a comment

You say that you love me, tell me why don’t I feel it, your actions paint a different picture, you try to conceal it

As long as the world sees such a happy pair, why would the world think I’m living in despair

Living in isolation, a cage crafted by me or you, are you the only one to blame, or am I responsible too

Looking back on every day, the things I have allowed, I danced to every tune you played, I tried to make you proud

So maybe it’s my fault aswell for playing your cruel game, but should I leave and not return, you’ll be the one to blame

Body, Mind & Soul

On By Pandora Poems2 Comments

I saw all of your red flags, embraced your every flaw, you thought it would deter me, but it made me love you more

An open book of concealed codes and cryptic messagery, I hang upon your every word, your mind a gold mine to me

Your body a map of endless treasures, danger in graceful motion, I can provide it with endless pleasures, I give you my body’s devotion

So open up your heart to me, as I’ve opened mine to you, on bended knee I promise thee, our love shall remain true
