Atropa Belladonna

She was my own Atropos.

Eyes dark like belladonna's berry.

Her breath gave me life,

Her shears were slowly closing.

 

I waited every night for Atropa Belladonna,

But flowers only bloom by day.

I knew that she could never be

Mine only...my Deadly Nightshade.

 

So I let her go. By day, she is another's.

But only 'til the midnight hour...

When I am hers and she is mine.

And the night is forever ours.

Inspired by the Deadly Nightshade, one of my favorite flowers, and an almost lover.
