Lowly Dreamer Poems

A few Haikus based on the Greek myth of Pandora's Box:

My dear Pandora,
Please do not open this box.
...

The little gestures make me smile
And the sweetness makes me blush.
The hugs seem to last a lifetime,
Yet they are never long enough.
...

If the world was the same
And no one was unique
Would every child play the same game?
Always hide-and-seek?
...

And now the red ones make me fly.
The pills go down slowly.
The sip of vodka helps them along.
My head begins to spin,
...

No one understands me
As the wind blows through the trees
No one understands me
I’m praying on my knees
...

As the wind blows
And messes up your hair
Your feet slowly sink
Into the soft, warm sand
...
