Madame Nikita

Eyes to the Heart, Crystal Sight of the Mind

Layla Lair
Madame Nikita

Founder of hopes, hidden unseen
I've the answers for what you dare dream
My tattered cards can show you the way
But the foolish must realize the price they yet pay

So, if you are willing. Grab my warm hands
I'll travel your mind like I have through the lands
I'm the teller of thoughts and whispered dreams
But realize your fears will also be seen

In the haze of your mind and the myst of your soul
Your secrets are transparent, you will have no control
I've the sight of the gifted and the darkly possessed
Some say I am wicked, others say I am blessed

Eyes to the heart, crystal sight of the mind
So tell me what it is you dare me to find...

    Yes, when you delve into these things, you open yourself up to both good news and bad news. Some things are perhaps better left unseen. Great job on this!

    Really cool. The rhythm of the poem gave it a weird spooky feeling. "BEWARE!" Really enjoyed it.
