I linger in halls where whispers reside,
A shadow of love, a memory's guide.

With looks that could cause one to stare.

In a gown or a dress,
And played with the line of what's fair.
Alicia - The Beguiled

In my glow, the truth can’t hide?

My beauty conceals the dark legacy.

Now I harbor whispers of a past unconfined.
With a name that conjures both grandeur and gloom,
What am I, where memories linger and shadows loom?

Where love was lost, but hope still grew?

A realm of reflection, where dreams pay their cost.
I whisper of danger and beckon with grace,
What am I, the canvas of time and of space?
