TEMPTATION: A NEW DIRECTION
aromatic charm
of bay leaves in a breeze
first evening kiss

ever the moon
a plucked bud opens to bloom
red petaled rose

butterfly wings
this freedom of scalloped flights
in passion's play

yield to the wind
wild grasses sway to the mood
of meadow colours

this cup
drink of its satiety
pledge of love

Pandora's peek
never a prayer of regret
only a new path

#Process Note: Pandora's Box - a legend
The god Prometheus stole fire from heaven to give to the human race, which originally consisted only of men. To punish humanity, the other gods created the first woman, the beautiful Pandora. As a gift, Zeus gave her a box, which she was told never to open. However, as soon as he was out of sight she took off the lid, and out swarmed all the troubles of the world, never to be recaptured. Only Hope was left in the box, stuck under the lid. Anything that looks ordinary but may produce unpredictable harmful results can thus be called a Pandora's box.
