Nightshade

Her unending beauty,

The forever deadly.

Like the nightshade,

Yet deadlier,

All the more enticing.

Sunflowers flow in the wind,

Basking in the sun's rays.

The lily floats,

upon the surface of a beautiful lake.

One below,

One above.

Yet another,

Stalking from the shadows.

Her family, well known,

Yet their relation unknown.

The Belladonna lies in the shade.

Under the moon,

Across the river.

She had enticed many,

I fell first.

She watched,

As her spell tore me to shreds.

Using my remains to weave her first square,

A quilt of victims she would weave,

And I was the first.
