Poetic Process

I abjure you 

Lilith 

False promise 

Seccubus

Who seduced us 

With 

Equity

While telling us 

To leave 

All maternal 

Instinct 

So that 

Life 

Was not 

Precious

As if it was so 

Radical 

To throw away 

The soul 

To your soulless gluttony 

Now we women 

Enslaved 

To the same 

Fate 

You subjected them to

Grinding their bones

On the wheel of war

Mocking them 

False Diana 

In fits of war 

Drinking their 

Blood 

Draining 

The 

Cycles of the moon 

From their bodies

So their intuition 

No longer comes on 

The tides 

Little pills of death

Candy colored

What women 

Wanted

Needed 

What children were born for

To play at their mothers hip 

Learning the magic 

Of this world

You robbed us our children 

They die in factories 

Intent on shooting the soul

Petulant lilith 

darkening the world

With sin

For the humanity 

You choose 

To leave

Your choice

And 

Every 

Day 

Pride 

Prevents 

Your 

                    Return 

It will never be 

Enough 

You will feed forever 

And still mourn 

The loss

You ripped 

Soul

From body

Lost

All capacity for 

Joy

With the 

Lies 

That you always 

Whisper to 

Weak men

It doesn’t matter 

Lilith darling 

It always mattered

I’m sorry 

No one 

Saw you

As Adam 

Failed to 

Sate your 

Hunger 

For 

Power

For in the light 

No one leaves the garden 

Your trickery 

To bring 

Adam to 

His fall

Leaves 

you emptier still 

You know

He knows

The monster

within

Dear leviathan

Making Jobs

of men 

I pray one 

Day 

That the truth washes 

Over you 

That forgiveness 

Mends every thread 

Until you are rejoined 

In the resplendent 

Destiny 

Created for you

Until then 

A warning:

Touch me and you will burn.
