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.
