Season of Pandora

A box locked with the horrors of my aura

By Marina C.Published 3 months ago 1 min read

Peaks and valleys

These cheeks will dally

The calli of a Person I want you to know.

This Person has learned

Which rendition to churn

Always derning the version I could never show.

Once eyes have closed

My dallied peaks sowed

With breath slowed

Down into the depths of my slumber.

If the monsters under bed

Are too haunted to deaden

Their hunger,

I wonder: who haunts these halls unencumbered?

These Ghouls and Ghosts

Must be I who hosts,

This ghastly insanity, far too awful to boast.

In this glass castle of pains

Stained with remains

Johari’s window must be closed upon waking, I know.

Sagaciously certain

Which versions to curtain-

Unless you are someone who treads here unshyly?

Veracious or fallacious?

You choose, which phase of

Me I get to be- but be warned: choose wisely…

A hoard of Ladies and Lords,

Each mask carefully stored

In a box locked with the horrors of my aura.

And every time I unbind

The lock with this rhyme

Be prepared for the Season of Pandora.
