Notes About The Poem

Deadly Nightshade is the common name for the plant Belladona, which Cleopatra is said to have used for her pupils to become large, from the Atropine it contains.

Bella Donna means beautiful woman in Spanish.

The word concubine depicts a woman as inferior to men.

History is constantly rewritten and I wish that sometimes, we humans would get it right in the first place.

Adamina and Everitt

Adamina and Everitt 

Her rib it was before the Master lost the plot in evil Eden
when Bella Donna Adamina handed the fruit to her man

Deadly nightshade Everitt sensed he did not take God’s bate
‘I know my place she fights for women’s equal chances here’

Hell came first before the hedonistic pastures but the story
was fake narrative propaganda misconstrued representation

Wishbones candy apples fortune cookies when she climbed
his mountain unperturbed by twisted concubine conceptions

No blasphemous satanic verse but pages turned the roller coaster
and history of world ensued with passion’s flowers blooming large

Hah. I love this Kai. Your poems always have a story behind them, and I love the explanation. Great two-liner quintet.
