Lilith

Oh, Lilith, circled by that vicious snake and draped by owl wings as a feathered shawl; hair crowned with spiraled horns for evil sake- of which the snake itself seems to appall. Oh, Lilith, your deep, luminous red eyes instill cold fear while shooting fiery glow- with a blank stare that quickly amplifies cruel dangers brooding- waiting to bestow. Oh, Lilith, your fake smile adorns your face with plump lips looking sweet as rich, red wine; yet void of love and altruistic grace- stay coldly pursed- a threatening, grim sign. Behind you- Hell's vast underworld now burns; your lover waits for you- engulfed in flame. His fiendish craving spins and wildly churns- as you join Lucifer in depths of shame.
