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. 

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.

I loved how your metaphorical poem poem masterfully intertwines themes of seduction, transformation, and internal conflict. Through the character of Lilith, it explores the delicate balance between light and darkness, purity and corruption. The vivid imagery and emotive language create a compelling narrative of a character grappling with her identity and desires. Congratulations on your first place in the contest.

I don't know why, but this broke my heart; dear, dear Ink, I hope you are not in the despair you write of as Lilith, but regardless, this is beautiful- and a 'painful' pleasure to read.... hugs xx

Dearest Empress, I'm in awe of the dark, seductive power of your poem! How I love how the rich, sinister imagery drips with gothic allure as you created such a hypnotic tale of temptation and inner demons. I really think that that your command of evocative language is spellbinding, from "maroon twilight" to "sensual suicide" to "sadistic scriptures." The internal struggle between light and darkness, purity and sin, is hauntingly captured. This is artistry of the highest order - you've bewitched me utterly with your mesmerizing words and depths. A truly breathtaking, masterful piece deserving of the highest praise. I'm honored to read your poems. A Fav! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

This Gothic tale resonates with a story of fearsome manipulation. If ever a date went wrong, this would be it's poem.

I appreciate the way Lilith is portrayed. I find it intriguing how for every dark aspect of her character, there is an angelic good that is now haunted. I see a profound struggle in her identity, desires, and her acceptance of the chaos her new self brings and her confrontation with the possibility of being consumed by her darkness. She's a reflection of the battle we face in overcoming certain things, in a strive for light and darkness.

She's far into the deep pit, I'm not sure redemption is part of her options. "I am now sensual suicide, as darkness bleeds through my sparkling spirit into a rustic realm of demonic drumrolls." Every story has a side hidden entirely from the world. This reminds me of her actions and POV from the series Lucifer. You should see it. It reminds me that life itself is 100% drawn from perceptive. It can change everything. Lovely piece Dearest Ink, as always. Hugs.

Your poem, dear Ink, is truly captivating. It delves into the internal struggle between light and darkness, temptation and resistance, and the duality of human nature. The persona of Lilith embodies this conflict, grappling with dark desires and inner turmoil. The rich word choice and evocative imagery create a dark and mysterious atmosphere, drawing upon themes of seduction and temptation. References to mythical and biblical figures add depth to the symbolism used. Best of luck in the contest.

We are double minded...Lilith is part of all of us; I think we confound evil with physical sensuality, evil with desire and lust. No freedom is gotten and kept without, in a sense, a lust for liberty. It is not about depth of feelings, nor degree of arousal from touch...motive and reason is everything. Sometimes good men are forced to fight and kill -- though we did bring it all upon ourselves -- no Soul is an Island. Wow! Really got me going with this. I apologize for ranting. Blessings.

Boy this is so good. Sensual suicide. I know you said you aren't familiar with the Bible but Solomon discussed this theme off and on in the first 9 chapters of Proverbs, which I read whenever I'm feeling tempted or weak. Lilith is a mythical creation, but her legacy lurks in many a dark corner. Have an awesome weekend
