The Beguiled

(A lone voice whispers at 3 am)

There was always something so controversial and medieval 

About exploring semi-clothed in the dark shadows
All the deeply hidden essences of you

But I guess it's just one of the many unspoken reasons 
Why I stepped into your view

Just unconsciously attracted when you appeared 
Right out of the blue
