Bella Donna

She is as wild as the prickly thistle That stands proudly on windswept wild rugged moor Emotional deep as an ocean As flirtatious and fragile as a butterfly That graces a simmers day. Her voice as sweet as the robin Her beauty And very presence Takes my breath away. She can be as temperamental as a tempest And sting the heart as a bee Her stubbornness like a tree That doesn't bend in the wind But she keeps her secrets Under lock and key. She can be loving kind and mild Beauty personified in femininity So alluring But also playful and mischievous as a child. She is my nemesis my mistress My angel an individualist With fire or hunger in her beguiling eyes I love her I hate her although my passion And gratitude runs high She is wild and untameable as that rugged savage moor Her name is Bella Donna She has my heart And belongs to me.
