Theme Thursday- Pandoras Box

What hides away under your lock,
What treasure does your velvet hide,
Behind the door, shut tight with mystery,
Under the desires of men's knowledge.

"All that glisters is not gold"
Shakespear told us long ago,
His words remain for us to keep,
But we learn not, still as beseached by the need,
To know, Oh to know, your secrets are longed for.

And as wise a man can tell you,
But for his heart can be snared by the curse,
To unwillingly breath for, live for, die for,
A secret that's not his to have.

What story does thou hold,
What weapon doest thou keep,
Hearts of men so quickly captured,
By the corner of your golden sanctuary.

Men are so easily turned from the truth,
In order to have the know,
Adam did turn from God for the lie,
Fed to him by a snake.

Men are so easily tamed,
Thier hearts so easily won,
But fear not, good holder of all that can,
For I myself am a woman.

  2. I used to think there was wisdom associated with having two x chromosomes. With the latest political season, I am beginning to have doubts.
