[Challenge]: Cryptic riddle, can you solve it? 🧐

#watercooler #challenge #puzzle #fun

well, hello there!

i'm back with another little challenge for you

the task is simple, yet it might not be easy:

solve the puzzle and find the answer

if you solve it, you can prove it in the comments without revealing the answer by giving some hint

or you can email me at nombrekeff@gmail.com to check if you did

in case you need some tool, consider writing it yourself instead of using an online tool

don't use AI please, it removes the fun from the challenge

in classic tome, a spaceless nook,  
treasured, worn, that bloody old book  

screaming, it bids, "guard the theme,  
no echoes heard, no cryptic stream"  

within these pages, the answer is,  
read closely, or you might miss

seek Ann Marie, she holds the key,  
yet only Blaise, its secrets free

from her, you wished you had a kiss,  
dry them up, your tears dismissed
