Towering over me, blue petals cascading.
Eyes open, hands outstretched,
reaching for their hands
Sunkissed in death’s garden,
as their roots burrow
Beneath the ground, all around me.
A soft touch to the skin,
Like the gentle kiss of rain
Gracing me with its presence
As their eyes stare into my soul.
Convulsions grip me
As the poison embraces me
Sweeping me off my feet
With a slight buckle in the knees
As it sets fire to my nerves
The heat welcome as my mind races
Heart pumping,
blood jumping,
pulse leaping
As your venom entrances me.
Yet I lay against your sky blue petals,
Over and over again
As my mind is
haunted by your spirit.
My dear delphinium,
If your toxins are my only opportunity
At feeling your love for me,
Allow your petals to become my cemetery
