Opening Pandora’s Treasure Box
I see myself as a metaphysical poet, most of my poems engaging the inquisitive reader, unhindered by any fear of inquisition, to look beyond the veil of extroversion, and to dare to peek into Pandora’s Box, into Pandora’s Golden Treasure, and thereby to probe, perhaps with trepidation, into the dark nether world of introversion, and in that outrageous audacity of opening and peeking, to bring fresh healing light into an outer world of ego self, bereft of insight, bereft of inner sight.
About this poem
This poem emerged from a moment of reflection, a moment of wondering who should be attributed authorship of any creative work, whether the writer holding the quill, or the mind of the holder of the quill, energizing the hand to write, or perhaps somewhere else, remotely distanced from the mind, yet even more closely intimate with the mind, yet escaping the persuasion of rational thought.
