Intriguing

I have seen what Cleopatras hide behind their eyes,

Minds full of intrigue and thoroughly intriguing.

I have known a Delilah, a burden who saps strength,

and nine muses, tireless bringers of it,

But there is nothing in this world more alluring

Than the sentimental, slightly-out-of-rhythm swaying

Of uninhibited youthful enthusiasm.
