Nightshade Poems - Poems about Nightshade


Candle
Flames flickered as the candle’s light Touched the chilling breath of night Shadows danced around with no sound Bottle of ink filled with nightshade Sleeps under the moonlight A quill soft as a dream is held by a figure half immersed in darkness Waiting for the elixir of thoughts As the clock struck twelve With great haste the figure dips the...

A Nightshads Song
Winter rains lover the cold north wind fought against the thought of warmth in which we would embrace again. It holds steadfast to the slow beating of the window pane drums loudly out thoughts leaving us numb. Ice courses through veins long forgotten canals whom once held court for promises of love stricken stars that fell from above. Silence is left shouting deaf tones of moments long held to endless...

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 3/15/2022...

Nightshade
This horrid,dark chasm reaches deep down below. Far beyond the reaches of one's heart and soul. Only the green of its body shreds the night. Leaving what's left of it far from the light. Cursed as the book of a witch. Yet blessed is its flowers as a bible straight from church. What lines divide,it is unknown. Holes open in the...

Bitter Nightshade
Bitter Nightshade Too late now for an Intercessor-- My red, Luscious, Bittersweet berries Have done their work...and I'm Quiescent... Ambivalent to your Tactile ruse Seen as the Quintessence and Arcane. Your Flamboyant tryst sealed my Immolation. ©deborah burch 11/21/2016...

He lingers there, suspended in air with one eye blue and one green, bulbous nose, long pointed toes and nails shaped like castor beans. His see-through skin is so thin it glimmers an eye-popping sheen- resembles whey, neither white nor grey but shimmers somewhere in between. Intestines twine like twisted vines backed by a neon purple spleen. His chest is bright, flashes a light with a...

Nightshade
Pretty woman of the night, Pain and death her goal in sight Quickly, with dark eyes alight, Vision blurs and breathing tight Shows no favor in the fight. Curse of Shade's perverse delight, Tremors reign and with them, fright; Moss green skirt and halo bright Dance together in the light. Shade knows well her earthly plight. Purple robes and golden hair, Sought by witches everywhere-- Strong spell...

I scream for your pain I scream for your gain I scream to go back to just being alright again vanity spread out coast to coast the ones I trust always gave so much of what I needed most, companion dark Saturn dark Saturn silent as a lantern like a ghost in the mist that just exists inclined towards preservation An inkling towards a razor blade sharper...
