She ran freely in the wind, hair in disarray
Faster than the alpha wolves every night and day
Who nipped at her heels, though she never backed down
At the prospect of conjuring herself a new crown.
Her craft wasn't thieving, deceiving or conceiving
Pandora was a girl consumed by achieving
The next great adventure, taken like a pill
Her soul yearned for a magic touch to fulfill
Her wildest dreams; curiosity, sated
Pale hands; a gilded box; finally, elated
That all the things she never knew were beneath one lid
How DARE the world deprive her and declare they forbid
Efficacious Pandora to chain her passion
Spinelessly docile just wasn't her fashion
So she carefully crept in the dark of night
And beheld in the box a new strange light
An army of miseries glowing vivid and real
(But she had never lived with behavior ideal)
Now Hate, Selfisness, and Jealously shone like jewels
But at least I made the history books now, Pandora thought,
because I
                 broke
                       ­     the
                                    rules.
A little sick, a little sleepy, thinking of Greek mythology. Constructive criticism is always very welcome!

Love me spineless.

Not spinelessly,
without will or integrity.

But love me so hard and so fiercely
there are no bones left in my body.

Love me to where my vertebrae know no home,
where my limbs tremble when you're near.

Love me senseless.
The fast few fleeting beats as the mind meets recognition
and the body of its own volition
falls.
As the heart ceases to pain and the brain begins to shut down and the world appears in black and white,when the day turns into awe and you are struck by total night,who calls to you across the passages of time?
who hears this savage beast that brooks no rhyme,that spins so silently,spinelessly,seamlessly?
None but the dreamers in the grave,some say 'tis but a fantasy,a trick of light,then let candelabra light this night of mine,let time shine on me,let me fight until the last breath on that inevitable journey we call death.

I shall weep within the warp and weft of seconds left and weave myself a coat of shadows and in the shadows, I shall dance across the walls,
as my body falls
I shall rise.
