Nightshade
Femme fatale nightshade bloom
Lustrous pomes sweetly entomb
Heady pungent bouquet
Remedy lover’s grave betray
Come hither, ye toxic potpourri
Banish infernal memory
Florid amethyst grace
Allure belies dual face
Infuse alchemist brew
Terry, not penance due
Smitten vessel begs release
Hasten this affliction peace
Tip chalice to ardor quell
Serenity bids thee back to hell
Notions atone bittersweet
Farewell ebbing heartbeat
