Adam and Lilith "Is it the wind or the serpent’s tongue that nibbles On my ear and sends ripples Across clear puddles?" --And yet, another night, your apparition has come to haunt me in a gory vision! I beg you, Lilith, let me be at last! O, don’t evoke the gardens of the past, I’ve long forgotten Eden! Don’t remind my wearied heart of treasures it can find nowhere on earth. I beg you, disappear... --O, Adam, you are dazed with fear! --Was that the wind or have I heard your voice? --You’ve called on me and now you don’t rejoice? --Be gone, damned spirit! Disappear for good! --You’ve yet to taste the magic of the fruit... --You cannot tempt me twice, I’ve had my share; my paradise is lost, my world stands bare, my God is raged. --No free man needs a God! --This blasphemy! O, Lilith, tempt me not, my mind is clear for He still guides my way and there is nothing you can do or say to blind me. The star still shines to guide myself, a traveler, to heaven with its light. --You need no star! Its light can only chill... --Without it, I’d be lost! – You have free will... --These lies cannot deceive a faithful ear, I listen to you not! — But you still hear! In vain, you dream of heaven, there is no life after death. – Then, where do all men go? --Into a vacuum, which consumes all life... --Existence, in your view, is only strife and there’s no justice in the end of time?! --There is no justice for there is no crime. There is no sin. It’s but a shade of good... and that’s the juice of the forbidden fruit,-- for that, which casts no shadow cannot be... Dear Adam, you are overflowed with glee? --Ha-ha-ha! I understand! You don’t exist, and nothing hangs above me, just the mist... O, dear, insomnia! what you create to keep a wearied man away from rest and sleep... ------------------ Check out more of my poetry here: http://www.unknownpoets.com/db/authors/master Check out my poetry here: http://www.unknownpoets.com/db/authors/master [This message has been edited by Master (edited 02-18-2001).] |

Wow, you're a great poet. Keep writing, fantastic work! "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." ~RFK |

Very very nicely done. This poem was highly philosophical. I really liked this one tons. Geesh I wish I could write like you!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Your talent in unquestionable. But I'd prefer to see quotation marks to show dialogue. I guess it's a matter of preference. Great post Master. keep posting So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |
