I’m not very good at writing poetry… my art is in the breeding of plants.

But I have found some poetry for you, my beautiful one. I will post one every day, and I will wait with bated breath for your reply.

Today: A poem by Oscar Wilde

.

La Bella Donna Della Mia Mente

.

My limbs are wasted with a flame,

My feet are sore with travelling,

For, calling on my Lady’s name,

My lips have now forgot to sing.

.

O Linnet in the wild-rose brake

Strain for my Love thy melody,

O Lark sing louder for love’s sake,

My gentle Lady pbumeth by.

.

She is too fair for any man

To see or hold his heart’s delight,

Fairer than Queen or courtesan

Or moonlit water in the night.

.

Her hair is bound with myrtle leaves,

(Green leaves upon her golden hair!)

Green grbumes through the yellow sheaves

Of autumn corn are not more fair.

.

Her little lips, more made to kiss

Than to cry bitterly for pain,

Are tremulous as brook-water is,

Or roses after evening rain.

.

Her neck is like white melilote

Flushing for pleasure of the sun,

The throbbing of the linnet’s throat

Is not so sweet to look upon.

.

As a pomegranate, cut in twain,

White-seeded, is her crimson mouth,

Her cheeks are as the fading stain

Where the peach reddens to the south.

.

O twining hands! O delicate

White body made for love and pain!

O House of love! O desolate

Pale flower beaten by the rain!

I didn’t expect you to understand, and I don’t really care. I’m used to being misunderstood… I just hope she will read this.

belladonna…

So, I had this idea. It came to me while I was burning all the little outfits my mom has for her dog.

If you really have your heart set on this…Belladonna person, she’s not going to want a guy who’s so inexperienced.

So I’ve decided, as a friend, to give you lessons. We’ll start with kissing. I mean, you don’t want her to think you’ve never kissed a girl, right?

Umm… I- I don’t know… I mean, what if she sees us and gets the wrong idea?

I- I just think… Well, I don’t think she’s superficial like that. That’s what I like about her; she’s respectful and non-judgemental. I can see in her eyes that she’s a good person, that she will understand that I’ve been too… too busy to “play the field” and all that.

But… well, thanks. You know, for thinking of me. And, um, offering to help.

Yeah, well what if she gets poison ivy?

I mean, sure, yeah, whatever. Girl like her, I’m sure she won’t be put off by a kid who can’t even kiss. It’s not like she’s got hundreds of other guys to compare you to.

Best of luck. I’m sure your plant poems will be enough.

J-Janie, are you sure you’re alright? I mean, you’ve been so… tense these last couple of days. Please have a cup of this hyssop tea. It always works for me when I’m stressed out.

“Gloomy Gus”

Another poem; this one by Becki Newell.

Bella Donna

.

Standing and

just staring,

black beads for

eyes and

dressed in

emerald silk.

.

I fear her.

This woman of

beauty

his bella donna.

.

Standing and

just staring,

but despite her

inanimate stance,

she poisons.

.

her beaded droplets

of woven fabric,

good enough to eat…

but ingestion penetrates.

.

I fear her…

yet I revere her.

How she stands

through flood and

lightning strike!

Bracing.

.

I revere her

when poison turns

to elixir.

When her face from

drained turns

rosy,

.

her expression

from bleak fatalism

to benevolence.

.

She heals.

And I have

learnt to love

the fear of her

stark omnipotence,

her presence

through all things.

.

For every one thing

she takes

she gives back

another.

As the moon casts

her shadow

when she stands

beneath

her deadly nightshade.
