Belladonna

sunrise breaks its fatal perfume and I'm dizzy to distraction the scented clutches of a siren's lament embrace the sound of enchantment five fathoms deep, the lovers leap the lanterns of skin beckon us in o belladonna nightfalls decent shrouds her intent in a halo of sharks and a skeleton mask o belladonna daylight devours your unguarded hours burnt and charred, this bride of scars o belladonna lost in the glare, all of us stare the patterns of pain, scream out your name o belladonna
