Fairy Breath
Puffs of fairy breath on skin
Small white flowers prancing
'Tis all I could ever be
Stay clear from fairy’s breath
For these plants can kill
Tis’ what they speak of me
Careful what you say, my friend
For words can be taken and twisted
As can your heart of gold
Cousins made of midnight bells
Bane of the wolves yellow eyes
And monk hoods swathed in abyss
A world of green ferns
And deadly things
Beware that I am twain
Careful what you pick my friend
For I am unassuming
Careful what you take my child
For I am hemlock ruin

Poisons have always been beautifully horrific to me. One could upon a killer of men and never come to know it. But hemlock... that is a fascinating one. How an unassuming plant, white as the purest snow, could destory all who consume it.
