My Lilith

Lilith came to me in a dream she said Eden was beautiful we fell through the abyss the fury of our flight kindled the air... It thundered and lightninged below us the ocean boiled birds of prey gathered she said we were to marry the mark of Cain upon me... She kissed with venom on her lips with roses across her chest I was in love like an addict loves his addiction... "You may do with me as you like," she said you have been in bed with whores before you are free to do as you will since you like doing it more than you like what you do... Summon the dark priest drenched in sin for my harlot shackled in death whoredom that plays like an orchestra as she enticed me to shout the shrill scream of ******... The lightning and thunder ceased she disappeared behind dark mountains between sky and land the dusk and dawn wearing her crown of jagged stars... She slit the throat of the horizon as I fell back into my Merlin sleep I heard a siren's voice say, "I am Lilith and you are mine-forever!" ~ ~ ~

if we are honest, we all have a dark secret place in our hearts where we are vulnerable to evil, to our own selfish desires, to the deep dark night. . . we hear the seductive calling of Lilith. Your poem gives voice this real evil . . . but yet hope stills clings. Nicely done Ken

my goodness, what an imaginative story. I am reminded of the show that just went off the air forever: True Blood and the Lilith plot!! REally great stuff.

WOW! What a captivating story, Ken. It is dark and somber....and screams of other world scenes...Interesting piece. I've heard of Lilith, but...I don't believe in her. Still, It makes for a lovely read. Hugs
