Sitting on Pandora's Box
My thoughts for sale.
Although I hold it all back
Got to stay on the right track
My heart won't go on strike
It does what it likes
It's heading for a fall
Can't stop it at all
It couldn’t possibly be right
Heart is putting up a fight
Head is a rocket blaze
I can’t hear what it says
Heart doesn’t make sense
Heart doesn’t sit on the fence
It won’t simmer down
Forever the clown.
Scared it will make me blind
My heart will be too entwined
To notice what is real
To remember how to feel.
Instead it's forever unrequited
Heart is already indicted
If only it had eyes and ears
And could shed tears
It takes two to work
Heart is a derp
It’s got it wrong
Head needs to be strong
Tunnel vision to where I need to be
Happy home and financially free
The rest can wait
Till heart thinking straight.
For now, I sit on the box
Watch Dali's melting clocks
Trying not to hurry fate
But weary it's too late.
Thank you @d-pend and the 100 Days poetry challenge entrants, you helped me found my poetry mojo again and as always this poem seems to be a highly exaggerated version of what is going on in my head (and heart so it would seem).
When I write, once I started it just flows and it appears complete twenty minutes later.
Since my failed marriage, I have a hard time trusting my gut, as I get it wrong a lot, but it happens when you wear your heart on your sleeve and I can't change that, its part of me.
Even today, my heart won't do as it's told and this Pandora's box is a story that seems to be on repeat.
But I know I have to sort out my own house first, before making time and room for a magical mystery tour of what love might have in store for me.
At the moment, I barely have time to do everything I need to do keeping up with working from home and all my ideas, without adding the energy or effort into finding and maintaining a relationship.
This poem is the tale of my impatient heart, waiting and hoping to get it right one day when head and heart say the same thing. I have my doubts that will ever happen, but time will tell, or I will have a lot of pets as company, when the kids have flown the nest.
Time is a friend and enemy.

I think I'm done with it all. I'm pretty sure I just want to be a sea witch.
This made me smile so much when I read it. Sea witch sound good, maybe I'll become a bewitching mermaid!
Mermaids are awesome too. I think maybe it's approaching menopause, but I'm just done with the whole game. I want to live in a little shack by the sea and do just enough weird stuff to leave the villagers wondering if I'm actually a witch.
Direct poem and I like it.
It made me kinda sad at first but I thought about your words and all I want to say is that I understand your situation and don't ever doubt yourself, ever.. Don't let your mind be your master. First, set your heart free and then you'll control your mind easier. If that makes any sense to you..
Anyway, don't worry! There's a saying that worrying is like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain... Just don't worry, but work hard on everything ;)
Much love, Luka.
Thank goodness for Steemit and all the awesome people I meet on it, like your good self, I don't need to worry about this. Fate has a plan for me, just need to be patient to see what unravels. I wrote this when I was feeling quite lonely, but it is feeling that comes and goes like the tide.
I'm glad it's your past and I love that mentality. Way to go!
Exactlly, so many beautiful people here. You all showed me a great support when I doubted myself. I finally found my stage to express myself, and I just started...
Have a great day/night!
Hope, thank you for sharing this. I recently went through something similar, so it resonates. I feel my heart is forever "a clown", a fool... despite what my head knows, I fear it binds me, frozen to move forward. I doubt my instincts about everything. This is common in this situation, time will heal. In the meanwhile, you are creating an amazing thing with your business...that is where I hope to regain my center, pouring my creativity & focus into something I love. Plus I will be getting a new dog soon...they are great cuddlers & dont talk back..LOL. It is true, when one door closes, several more open. ;)
I'd love a dog or cat to cuddle, but landlord doesn't it. It is just a transformative stage right now, just need to be patient and heal. Thanks for stopping by @tinithoughts
Hi there, @hopehuggs,
Thank you so much for allowing your poem through. It expresses so much of what many of us are feeling but not fully expressing most times.
Years ago I started writing a book that got too raw and real for me to continue. I think I called it 'Journey Back To Self'.
I'll beat my shield and cheer you on too as we all journey back to joyous, child-like trust. The Feminine is rising and wants to be out and about and free, Being Herself.
Thanks again and Angel Blessings...
Yes, I think I need to get back to journalling and exploring my world a bit more, as feeling a little lost and like I'm treading water at the moment when it comes to the spiritual.
I totally get that. The world's energy is calibrating. It's a collective energy soup. So we're each causing that and also affected by it.
As you center and ground in your ever-deepening experiencing of the new You emerging, you will sway and swerve in to fuller expression of that.
Plus you're a leader. So that honor carries both your own clearing of your pathway with the sharing of that process so it assists your peeps on how to clear their own too.
Each step in to your newly formulating You/you takes you bigger, wider, vaster. You are Being and doing so well.
Namaste.
Finally got to see this poem on steemit!!! Too mad it took me to days to be fully back on steemit and the internet generally.
This poem is a direct reflexion of my love life. I couldn't stop picturing the words in my head.
Such a beautiful piece!
Thank you @levitated-mind. I'm glad my creative side is stirring again now :)
I can't wait to read more great poems for you!
I used to be such a lover of poems and wrote so many. I stopped and now I can't even interpreted a poem correctly.
One thing I know though, is that this poem's got a good rhyme, which isn't always so easy when you are trying to pass across your point.
thank you, ever thought if sharing some of your old poetry on here? That was how I started out on Steemit actually, as liong as you write a little about where the poem came from, they make for awesome and creative posts. It might re-ignite the fire.
I love writing poetry, but I also use it to get stuff that is swirling around my head out too, so I can think a bit more clearly, or put things in perspective.
Lovely words Hope. I think time will heal your heart and you once again will be able to trust it.
Somewhere inside, I know this. Thank you.
