BEAUTIFUL POISON

BEAUTIFUL POISON
By CC Williams

GENRE: Romance, Drama
LOGLINE:

Amidst a web of passion, betrayal, and self-discovery, two souls collide in a love so
intense it becomes both a blessing and a curse. The line between desire and
destruction blurs as they navigate the euphoric highs and devastating lows of their
toxic romance, realizing that even the most beautiful things in life can be
poisonous.

SYNOPSIS:

Dwayne clearly loves Erika, but doesn’t know love, how to ever really Be, actually show and demonstrate his truth, which loses Erika every time they connect. Through years, Dwayne never understands Erika’s silent, classy approach in nature, being not his usual type. Erika just listens and watches Dwayne for years. In silence, love grew in Erika for Dwayne, while unconsciously Dwayne has deeper psychological problems Erika notices, feels and discovers through space of experience with him. Erika always wonders about Dwayne, the man behind his physical person she encounters, noticing signs, she just listens and watches attentively, pinpointing his precise mental dilemma.

Through the span of the relationship, the weaker vessel to the union struggles with an evil spirit present in and around invisibly. In being unconscious to this evil reality stemming from Dwayne’s past- forward, the weaker link eventually infects this special connection, as unconscious, repetitive, negative actions and words destroy the beauty love once was between them to permanent disconnection.

Erika remains supportive, present by his side, while she lives her own existence outside of them, never waiting for Dwayne to recognize genuine love and recover naturally from his mental illness. Eventually Erika meets someone new, and keeps her lifestyle separate from Dwayne. In time Dwayne declines to nothing, depleted of evil he remains sick mentally, perverted and twisted in behavior, not his truth, things Erika is unaccustomed to, why he is unable to hold Erika close beginning with her mind. Erika would never actually choose Dwayne as her leading man, honestly not her type, however an invisible force attracts them to each other through life circumstance, ways unseen through the eyes, making it difficult to ever maintain focus on just Dwayne.

This connection continues very different and rare, beneath natural life, exists a magical force of attraction unseen, always felt between Erika and Dwayne. Love helps position them to each other in life, as their minds fail to comprehend the real connection. Their past shapes them differently, quiet patience and keen observation remains the theme, based on their distinctive differences, as wisdom educates them each of the other, to a fuller understanding and acceptance. True love is always there, silently expanding inside, yet Erika and Dwayne are nothing in the same but the opposite, while just existing into the others life, fashions the other better, but in different ways, a love that soothes and heals Dwayne, just real love, a deeper medicine that heals the human heart.

Though this union is strong and deeply passionate within, love does not secure Erika’s connection to Dwayne. In this love dance of romance, absolutely mismatched on the surface, evil’s poison invades the truth of love’s ultimate beauty and brilliance, infecting the relationship to division and insanity.
