English: The leaves of Atropa belladonna (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Belladonna dreams
Caricatures in extremis
Raise you from your deathly sleep
Parapets and kingdoms
Tunnels echoing and deep
Hallucinogens
Perspective disturbs and lengthens
Once more to touch your cheek
Ragged through these years
One more moment I would seek
Belladonna needs
From all earthly shackles freed
Lost love will rise again
And speak such words to me
The universe itself will bend
Wake now in fantasy
As near as breathe and life to me
Hear one more time your voice
I fall to sweet delirium
Without a care or choice

I always loved that name and found it interesting that it’s on a poisonous plant.
Yes, such a beautiful name for such a deadly plant… š
