Velumbound.
A transmission about the "sacred tree" that all lovers see represents the universal, almost mystical awakening of romantic devotion.
The "eight magical letters" explicitly spell out the phrase "I love you," acting as a binding spell that persists even after the relationship eventually "stutters" or ends.
Let us begin.
The Sacred Tree
(A lone voice whispers)
I can remember now I'm seventy-five
In this nursing home called
The Atonement
A surreal time
When I felt so alive
A pivotal moment in my life when happiness blew
Like a magical ruby red seed within golden leaves
Through my soul garden
Where nobody grows
And slowed and stopped to paint a priceless picture like a young Picasso
I thought would last forever
When we caressed
And would never die
Up high
In our now twin minds,
Midnight sky
A tapestry of two hearts beating as one
Entwined in mind
Where in time
We spoke in rhymes
But like all golden leaves once green
Sent from The Great In-Between
The gold heralds a time to grieve
So now apart
We silently cry
Me the daylight
And She
The crow
Who flies at night
With ruby red lips
Bestowed with a kiss
To sink so many ships
And in this mournful hour, in this precarious night
As I write
Before Saint Peter
Calls me home
I leave this letter to her
Infused with powerful memories of those happy days and hours
So she knows
I'll always remember the day we first met
And each willingly received
A red rose from the secret tree
All lovers see
In each other's enamoured eyes
When with eight magical letters
They bind forever
With a sweet romantic line
They utter
I love you
Before their beautiful relationship stutters
