This is an entry for the "Seduced Contest".

I was thinking about what seduced me, in a way that I'd be instantly attracted. And I figured it was... how can I say... Mystery. The unknown. Which means that I basically get attracted by someone I don't really know very well, that intrigues me and makes me want to know him better. But the problem is when I actually get to know him better and there is no longer mystery, most of the times I get disappointed and either lose interest or get "obsessed" in trying to find something more, new and occult.
Hence my choice of a faceless man sensually holding a blindfolded woman. :D

Also, I was mostly inspired by a Nightwish song, "Sleepwalker", hence the title. You can also find something from the lyrics in the image, I guess :)

Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies
Silently the senses
Abandon all defences

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Hold me near you
So close I sear you
Seeing, believing
Dreaming, decieving

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Sleepwalker seducing me
I dare to enter your ecstacy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you're mine to keep

(Sleepwalk with me...)

Sleepwalker seducing me...

Oh Joana! Que maravilha! Gostei de ler o que escreveste, o mistério é sempre uma coisa fascinante, pelo menos também para mim! E esta manipulação está mesmo bonita! Adoro a ideia da cara escondida e da menina ter os olhos tapados, dá mesmo essa sensação de mistério, de algo desconhecido! Os tons estão perfeitos à situação e oh, o pormenor dos pássaros! Simplesmente delicioso! :love: Só acho que a rosa está talvez um pouco escuro, pelo menos tive uma certe dificuldade para a encontar :P

É um pouco como disseste naquele journal. Depois de desfeito o mistério, acaba o encanto da coisa. Adorei o conceito e a forma como o exploraste. :clap:

Lol muito obrigada menina! ^^
Pois, a rosa está escurinha mas é porque está tapada da luz pela jovem, não é? ;P
Ainda bem que gostaste! :love:

Exacto. Aliás, penso até que foi naquele journal que eu me apercebi disto.

Muito obrigada ^^
