Pandora's Box Poem by Philip Vincent Sanders

I open the box with trepidation and exhilaration
Memories burst through my eyes … into my mind
Love fells me like an axe to a tree ………
I drown in a deep sea of emotion

Photographs … images of perfection and happiness
Smiling eyes light up my heart
Feelings burn into my soul ….
You are with me again

Rivers of tears make patterns on my cheeks
Dropping like rain from clouds of recollections
I close the lid on my life …
And place it back in the cupboard of hope
