Lilith
Written: May 23, 2024, For Silent One Lilith Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lilith is her Hebrew name.
Queen of night: with dainty shape.
that was of women who did gather.
she and Adam in lame ecstasy
who is devoid of such awful love?
raised on her not awe, as jovial.
but a worm-brood of cryptic dread
opts to forgo nest in destiny
mind flailing, moor-clad tie
denying him akin to a beast,
may turn her into a Hydra and urge
doubts of his utopia state
an arrow-like desire to cry out
on a vast path of his work
he finds human happiness
with tempting tension
unnamed things showed a curse
a mythical banshee haunted
as Melusine and Lamia later
Serpent-wives' feigned
or vampire witch drained evil
a scary burst of newborn kids' blood.
anxious faces noted before
In folklore, she appears
as a single dreadful being
dwelling in a birth-and-death abode
and closer, in our breath whispers
or esoteric love in disguise
her slung hair is a starry night.
Hail to Lilith, night-ruler
moonlight reveals whose power?
a dark enchantress was born.
from depths of the underworld
please mentor me, sweet soul,
your insight will enlighten me
Illuminate me with riddles
of a nighttime domain
she gladly bears me as a student.
together, will explore confined areas.
A goddess of the night, Lilith
Her power, dark and enigmatic
born not of Adam, but of clay
unbridled spirit ineffable power
she arose, as a figure of mystery
Beauty was a sight that binds
oh, tread gently, she is feral
her hunters must play her game
she's the devil's mother
a seductress, a snake queen
symbolizes passion and longing
glorious and maleficent
adored and feared for her power
a tremendous rage
Lilith isn't winged.
but a symbol of female vigor
accept her or reject her
Lilith is an eternal existence
a fiery storm of feminine fury
she is the mistress of a sad era.
