Serpents In Lambs' Shadows

Strange wind puffs like curses in the air 
Fine maidens in a devious stare 
Silent lip blows, bold but unsure 
Like puppet minds played in obscure 

Shady shadows lurking in the dark 
Hearts steered by a shiny spark 
For the light of amber is too hard to resist 
Pristine selfdom is too seldom to exist 


The title was inspired by a martial arts movie
