Her identity never fully hidden

Her mind, someplace forbidden

Her smile, like a magnet

Her eyes, with schemes behind the innocence


With the gaze of a thousand warships

She held her chin up high

She caused chaos, and destruction

A smirk on her face, as she watched from closeby


She lied in wait with the shadows

Lately, her best friend

Never leaving, always seeing

Just how she desired to be


In her voyage, discoveries were made

Her wit and words enough

To send anyone over the edge

A power she held cautiously


Deceit was natural protection

To be woven with half-truths like fine silk

Capturing anyone or anything stuck

Disappearing with the wave of a wand


She uses the sleight of hand

Her touch enough to start a fire in the heart

Sparks flying, fireworks exploding

A passionate moment capturing the love


More time spent with her,

Further down the maze one goes

Doors opening to reveal layers underneath

The closing to trap them in


Like the song of a siren

Attracting voyagers at sea

The enchantress's melodious laugh

Promised an unseen allure and mystery


Left behind was a scent of danger

So thrilling to follow, from someone so eager

Once it's realised, only she's puppet master

Tangles in her strings, never worked better


She's the femme fatale, master of deceit

Everyone knows, she's a dangerous decree

She can bring anyone to their knees, if need be

So do take the warning in the chilly night's breeze
