Sitting in my closet is a box I avoid even catching a glance And I never dare to open But there comes a time For years have passed by so I must unleash the boxfull of lies Each time you did it I simply wrote It's carved the incidences And left no memories A boxfull of lies now uncovered A roomfull of sorrow A heart full of shock and pain A boxfull of lies now the truth Etching it's way to infinity No pain seems to cease The boxfull of lies - you gave me for keeps. If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |

you've done a really good job here, this reads really smoothly, the memories that come back to haunt you, huh? I love the way you hide the bad things in the box, but like Pandora, you have to let them out. Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

My how I've missed you  hello my poetic friend... ******* some pain we indeed carry with us some things must be opened up and released if it was anothers "lies" that haunt us we need to let those ghosts go they are not our lies to be haunted by we need to set our selves free of them though that is the hardest to do ...I know but as I always say ... Butterflies are meant to be free... take care my winged poet friend jm  And it's good that I'm not angry, I just need to get over, I'm not angry, anymore Cry when you cry, run when you run, love when you love, represent the ashes that you leave behind ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

It's been a while Avanti...hasn't it? Well this was a great poem just flowing with emotion. I know it's not easy but as I've said before to people with feelings somewhat the same.... hold onto your past but don't let your past hold onto you. There comes a time when even what has been broken will fly again... D.E. Listen to your heart for it knows the way even when you don't. ~*Angel of Darkness*~ "So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No, the big moments are gonna come...you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you really are. You'll see what I mean..." -Whistler *+Daughter of Darkness+* |

Nice to see you again hon!! I have a box myself but mine is filled with treasured momento's not lies and pain. Open the box, deal with it, and then turn it into a treasure box filled with happy jewels..  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

nicely written I think all of us have a box like this funny how we want to hold on to the things that hurt us while at the same time put them behind us and get on with our lives ... GOOD JOB!!! |

Avanti, I see what you meant when you replied to my poem Someday. Wow...that is awful. I have a notebook full of those feelings. They are awful, but I had to write them all out to keep my sanity. The truth always comes out...that is for ceretain. Great piece.

I'll slip right behind the kid Spit here. haha and say my two cents worth. haha yes my friend I to have a box like this and haven’t opened it yet, too much in side. too little time. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Hello I wish to add my comments here too... I believe in order for one to heal they must open the box, for only in doing so can one go through the grieving process necessary to carry on with life... and to move on to a better life... A good poem. |

This was moving. It could have also referred to an "inbox" where the pain is unreal, shattering and tears your gut out. Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |
