Chosen Mortal Secrets

To see what I can become is a death without dyeing. Here and now I let you know, have no powers of flying. Powers I was born with are truly magical and beyond. Incantations I speak are from the old language in bond. Bonded to the facts that self-gain, comes back three fold, This seal in the book that has been guarded and untold. I shall not gain love from any spell that I should make. Neither shall I change or sway anything for my sake. Though upon my eighteenth birthday, love came for me. Now I must choose magical powers or my love for thee. My heart knows the answer, so thus I choose mortality. So I close the book, ring the bell, light the candle internally. Now you know my secret I have held as well my diversity. I shall love you forever and be your husband beyond eternity. written by Cecil Hickman written for Sponsor Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S.
