I place my ear gently to the golden trumpet<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What secrets do you hold?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I heard you whispering<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just as you called to Persephone<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Am I distracted by your beauty<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Waiting for Hades to snatch me away<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or am I the kidnapper<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of my own destiny?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Narcissus whispers sweetly<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
