Charming Belladonnas

Belladonnas
Charmed fragrant leaves unfolding
tear streaked belladonnas
Wishing upon scarred moonbeams
You rise up from streams of stars
A brightness so illuminating
You can be seen from every seat
In a Paradise of Dreams
I lost you to the circus of light
I pray someday you will come down
From the sad theater in the sky
Where the clowns and princes all alike
Smile down on the little goddess
With prickly thorns in her dress
Dancing like a flower on wing,
one rose with thorns is tossed
To the carnival in the streets
Where Paradise was almost lost
Where Gaia and Goddess meet
A lonely traveler strums a tune
One single note of remembrance
For the belladonna whose beauty
Poisoned Gods with lust
I will always remember your grace
the song in your lips, the kiss and her taste
The Great Tree where nature’s beasts
Flew away into starry winds, to sights unknown
Your withered shadows remain
Etched upon the hill where you’ll lay
My smiling Belladonna, come down I pray
