Array ( [sid] => 99700 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => What is in your box? [time] => 2005-06-30 11:15:57 [hometext] => I am! [bodytext] =>
Years from now you will wake in day
And feel the empty air
Walk in your mind and look for kind
Fall short on breeze of stare

Stand in a field cornered by trees
Look for what you never had
A figure appears in leaves of orange
Where happy is always sad

You walk impatiently
Find a box in dust and old
You thought you would never find
Brush away the leaves and cold

Appears a box of red
Aged beyond its time
Hesitative to open this
Cruel tricks are played on dime

Recognize box of which you know
You have seen it once before
Fingers smooth away maturity
Broken brain remembers sore

Writing on the thick of box
You read in breeze smell sweet
In bold you see one word indeed
A word wished not to greet

REGRET it says and means it too
You can’t find a reason why
But your box is here and here it lies
Was hidden now not shy

Dreaded the opening
For what could you find?
Past of mistakes
Or a life lacking dry

Open the box as slow as you can
Close your eager eyes
Nothing would be good
But then what happen to your lies

Past and present meet here in war
As you open eyes of hate
One thing you see and see alone
Relieved at current fate

Inside lives and will always be
The one person who you trust
You have claimed forever
But your word seems to be collecting dust

A hundred things would have been nice
This one thing you shutter must
A lie a hate a betrayal
But no the one thing you have had such trust

A life full of things you hate
A pity fishing tour
Your box was to be full
But held the only you adored

You sit and stare at box of one
And ask why it held your love
It is easier to hate your world
When pushing comes to shove

So close you box of regret
And lock it back away
Don’t hold your heavy heart my dear
Don’t think of me today

What is in your box?

Nice job Peaches! The ol' skeletons in the closet...always come back to haunt, don't they? I like the second stanza and the last two best. Keep it up!!

Interesting poem and your use of the box as a metaphor. Seems there were old dreams and feelings stored up. To reopen the box would invite openiing the proverbial "can of worms". There is a lot to this poem.

Good job, Peach

Will

I like this one and I understand, my friend. You are getting stronger about letting go with every poem you write. Nice job and I am very proud young grasshopper!

Brilliant. It was like watching the opening of Pandora's box from a distance with a safety net between. Your imagery is amazing. Peach, you are definitely a poet of gold.
