Notes About The Poem
written for silent ones contest.
apologies for my absence, have been busy and unwell
... i will be selectively participating in contests here, where sponsors do look beyond words that glitter with artificial gems, from now on.
Lilith
I am the birth of
an unholy emancipation,
watching dusk settle
upon forbidden shores,
unfolding sinister shadows,
while ravens gather
as harbingers of my arrival.
Tonight I am the seductress,
tempting temptress
of maroon twilight,
a midnight mistress,
scripting stygian sagas,
with ancient runic symbols,
consumed by the
fear they call Lilith.
Once blessed with
purity of lotus light,
I am now sensual suicide,
as darkness bleeds
through my sparkling spirit
into a rustic realm
of demonic drumrolls.
I see through the
ghastly gates of
my perpetrator’s hellish eyes.
I ponder: how can
an angelic silhouette,
a man who walks in
divine rhythm,
be the infernal epitome
of sadistic scriptures?
He's devoted to the
carnal cravings
piercingly echoing
through my heretic heart,
I’ll find his magical melody,
in sensual strokes,
as I stroke his soul
in sheer ecstasy,
engulfed in sinful symphonies.
My bite will plunge like a
bloodstained blade,
as I engrave my
footprints upon his heart,
to seduce his last breath,
but what if he is immune
to my ways, so I panic,
knowing I could become
his sacrificial succubus,
as his poetic trickeries
draw my demonic
nature into a deathless
dawning of decaying roots.
Thus, taming the
beast of gothic blackness
and halting this perpetual
destruction of my mind.
