Alluring
Fascination
Extends
Her glittering
Charismatic charm
In perfumed
Trances ~
Enchanting
Fragile
Images 
Catches dreams ~
Spiraling
Whirlpools peek behind
The glamour painted face,
Sees,
Maybe – obsession.

Sam, I love the lines "Her glittering / Charismatic charm / In perfumed / Trances." Charismatic charm is certainly a powerful force to be reckoned with, especially when combined with a glamour painted face. Let the beholder beware! Great job on your Yalto and best wishes in the contest! ~ John
