Reading a cipher;
with deep down having an unforged,
an impermeable intention;
urging you not to.
Not to resolve…
I may not like what I find out about her…
Or worst I may dread the boredom that follows
after getting over.
In all cases something is for sure,
I’m going to end up regretting.
But there’s this strange aura
that surrounds her…
you like or not, but you can’t ignore…
the irresistibility…
the temptation that constantly lingers.
The desirability that it summons…
The intrigue that it develops…
The curiosity that it conspires inside…
Forcing you to circle around;
like planets do for stars in constellations.
Waiting for her to reveal something,
that leads you to somewhere…
where path is untraceable,
and destiny remains unknown.
I disclose,
I have no idea of “the code”,
nor do I have a kinship
with pliers or the code breakers….
All I had was my passion,
my fear along intuition;
curse, even that was bi-polar.
If there’s a key,
it lies within her.
To unravel or not,
for each has to be without breaking her.
– Dedicated to a mystery that piques one’s curiosity yet deserves to remain unresolved…

Nice job! I really love the flow of this poem, and I love how it captures that cloud “fascination” and “intrigue” the character Lisabeth Salander has about her. I especially love this section:
“But there’s this strange aura
that surrounds her…
you like or not, but you can’t ignore…
the irresistibility…
the temptation that constantly lingers. “
Thank you Nina. I did love the character developed by Stieg Larsson, and I admire the intensity with which it was played on screen by Rooney Mara.
I haven’t read the books yet, but I have watched both versions of the movie, and yes, Rooney Mara did an excellent job!
