the bow is stained

in rose red

Or a lovely accident waiting to happen, I would totally save the paper from the gift of Pandora's box, especially when rose stained red bows are great to reuse at Christmas time :D Valentines Day is coming around the corner.

Funny, when ever i hear the words Pandoras Box. I think of the night club in Hollywood where Sonny met Cher..
She was there.. i guess singing..
And, he said that when he saw her he fell in love..or so says all that knew him..
I knew them both.. back in the day..
Love is such a tricky thing..
Loved your words..

Love is a risky proposition being nothing is guarenteed. Anger and aggravation or often included for future use.

Yes paper is like skin nice to look at but what’s underneath makes or breaks this little parcel.

Clever, andrew and so true...
Romantic love is indeed a pandora's box. You never know what's going to come flying out of it. Maybe the celibate monks were onto something.

That paper ... carefully smoothed out and gently folded and placed in the drawer with the other older wraps are there to remind us there once was love.
Not to mention the bow of rose red pressed against the heart.

We never know which way it will go when we open Pandora's box.
