Deadly Nightshade

 

touching you

gently

kissing your neck

feeling

your heartbeat

synchronise

with mine

 

the grey clouds

on a Tuesday

in September

spill

their leaden

tears

 

twilight

seeps

between

heavy

curtains

 

slowly

ebbing

into

darkness

 

time

slows to

a strum

 

sadness in

your eyes

 

belladonna,,,,,,,
