The Secret box [Week 33 entry]

The Secret Box


"Torment me not with thy comely form!
Have mercy and plainly declare you are mine,
Else suffer I must an unthinkable loss:

Sweet taste of honey from lips rosy red 'neath
Eyes of deep green that have seized and ensnared,
Captured completely this poor suitor's heart."
Replied the fair maid, "Think you now to
"Escape me? You cannot - you're mine!
This powerful, mystical

Box holds our love, bonded eternally, never to part.
Our lives now entwined, together as one; in
Xanadu's peace we'll forever abide."
