New Challenge: Bollywood
This month's challenge offers songs, films, and tropes from Bollywood, the world's largest film industry based out of India, as prompts for fanworks.
The cage, with subtle craft designed
And with thy soft caresses gilt;
For ‘ere I knew I was entwined
‘Twas artfully around me built.
With pleasant daydreams all about
I was enticed to stay a while,
And all my obligations flout
To bask instead beneath thy smile.
To those who seek to free me, say:
‘This cage keeps me not locked inside
But holds all miseries at bay!’
And so within I shall abide.
But only if it be with thee,
For here within my heart is free.
