Belladonna Blue

Belladonna blue.
Scenes in a mystery, do.
Hope, need ye accrue?

Indeed! Heart, why bleed?
Lead? Others or ye? Be! Sea;
Four seasons; change? Strange...

Cold core, darkest door?
Ancient lore, forgotten shore?
Anything for sure?

Weathervane, point! Taut.
Stretching out without a doubt?
Shout? Pout? Win? En route...

Sickle of death god?
Hand, hold on! O carrion;
Seen thy crow? Slow? No...

Poets, why write? Sight.
Procession, no end? Night?

I Wish I Could Erase You

 “I wish I could erase you,” 

is what I said, the words spat like venom.  

Spat like the poison in my veins. 

 

He knew it was in my wine, 

the belladonna that’s ruined my eyes. 

There’s two of him, two broken smiles. 

Did he want to kill me? 

Did they force him?

As strangleweeds ghost life manifestly,
caused by an Atropa belladonna

Belladonna Field

Good night, old friend.
Hush and sleep.
I’m here as long as we can pretend.
Even after you leave.

If pain is a gateway to the soul,
then my dreams deem your words the key to such a portal
I just can’t tear my eyes away
your blunt nails puncturing skin, their purpose ugly lines

If I could I would rasp a scripted

Belladonna

With the moonlight shines her beauty  
Running parallel is her grace 
Exuberant is her vibrance 
But with trickery, she is laced
As dangerous as she is poisonous
Even more so
she is ravenous
Yet still He hungers for a taste
He thought her lips were like cherries
In truth, they are Lucifer’s berries
Now he finds himself delirious 
Every part of

Belladonna

Oh, belladonna, deadly bloom,
Potent in your smile,
Bold, the dew-drops in your eyes,
Bewitching in their guile

Blazing with a brazen nerve, 
Your irises aspire
To burn the embers of your fire
In flames of our desire –

Deal your deadly night of shade
Let it, with stealth, conceal
Your flower fruited to appeal
– A thief set out to steal 

Dispense your tonic

Belladonna

Hey Miss Stranger... May I sit next to you? 
I wonder what time is it. But I don't mind getting late. Just to be with you. 
Do I smell bad? Am I weird... My face isn't that bad right? My hair too? 
My voice cracked. Did she hear it? Hope she didn't. Is it still

Lavish wicked exile
Florid amends futile
Beware o’ noxious veins
Fatal nature remains

Faultless lulling bell
Malign lethal quell
Belladonna most fair
Nary mercy to spare

Lavender-hued bane
Deceit assured reign
Hush now carnal lilt
Expiry nigh upon wilt

Ne’er partake blithe sip
Toxic upon mortal lip
Alas formidable jane
Elixir harbors chicane

Belladonna Dream

Quietly among the shade there lay another of the young gone astray
Tempted by the caress and whisper of the deadly mistress Belladonna

Tricks and traps splayed by ghostly furs
Continue to lead innocence to their graves
In efforts to transform the predators into prey

Belladonna Woods

The trees
They live in this forest
They whisper they breathe
Wanderers can speak to the leaves

Often times seeking advice
For wandering into this forest
Many don’t think twice

Seemingly there be peace among the green
Lures adventurers not so keen
Lingers shadows of mischief unseen

But the trees they tell the tales
Just like men sitting around drinking old ales

If ever found without direction
One

The Purple Belladonna

A demure damsel,  her prussian blue eyes. 
I astray all blurred, in subtle catalyze.
High cheek bones, beneath her caramel hair.
My purple veins pulse, in red wanton flare.

The pretty Belladonna smiles in cold blood,
Venom frolic my veins, they wilt in lava flood.
Extravagance of heaven, in blink of an hour,
I see lavender and lilac, in the

Premium MemberIn Belladonna Berries Love Was Paid

With lies you tried to hide your furtive eyes~
but breadcrumbs left impressions you betrayed,
and finding out the truth behind your guise
did shatter loving life that we portrayed.

Through multi-colored shards of memories;
the fierceness of reflections makes me bleed
from humble heart, life-stealing reveries
now crush me like a centipede stampede.

Your fangs were poisonous a thousand bites,
so nonchalant you

Premium MemberO Belladonna Amaryllis

O BELLADONNA AMARYLLIS!


Lovely petals in bloom
A bride and a groom
A honeysuckle room
a tiny seed

Gathering the sheaves
Greenback leaves
For her folded sleeves
a watered seed

Rosewater wife
Healthy strife
A perfect life
a split pea

A former bach*
Time tick tock
Pregnant frock
naked ladies breathe

Cry Belladonna

Cry belladonna, belladonna cry.

Crocodile tears, belladonna eyes.

Time stands still when she's on the move...

Catch her in my ear, crying for the moon.

Belladonna

I see you in my dreams
An unravelled seam,
A faded place,
Struggling to resurface,
An irrefutable alteration in my life's plan,
Branded and irrevocable throughout my lifespan
Leaving tear-stained cheekbones
And whispered tones
Depthless emptiness in my trembling heart
Trails of scar tissue as you depart
Stilling the voices in my melancholic mind,
Memory I see has truly been unkind
For here you were and here
