Whips and chain Can drive insane But of one thing I'm sure You'll be destroyed Or by love buoyed When tied to Lilith's lure Siren song Has call so strong At least it has a cure Yet held by night Screams of delight Bow down to Lilith's lure Over earth In death or birth In hearts both dark and pure You will be riven When you have striven And lost to Lilith's lure The mermaid fair Cries in despair Her song upon the moor She won't compete And in defeat Accedes to Lilith's lure From dawn of time In every clime Her seed is spread in spoor And womankind Is sure to find The joy in Lilith's lure Lilith… queen Of passion's dream Offers lust and more Though night goes on Those near and yon Succumb to Lilith's lure Through every age In fool or sage She traps in sweet amour Her loins in heat Can still heartbeat In bliss to Lilith's lure. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (01-30-2002 03:57 PM).] |

Yep..I like this. I use this name as an e-mail because once I tried to use it as a writing alias because a good poetic friend of mine suggested that the name could fit the Dark Seductress picture I was going for.LOL! Imagine lil ole me in the Dark Seductress role, eh? Nope..doesn't fit. Even Temptress has an innocent ring to it when associated with the me that people know best. anyways.. Umm..the name..it didn't work. I wrote two poems, then couldn't grasp the mood of Lilith, so I gave up. You have done much better than I could ever have hoped to with this subject. I love it! For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me. |

Keth darling sister of my soul and holder of my hearts song, darling girl I really love this poem it is UTTERLY utterly dreamy a fabulous little write with layers of meaning again. YOUR writing lately is superb darling girl just superb And I suppose you think this is clever do you? Mmmmm I mean how many times must I say this, just because you can write like this doesn’t mean you have to darling heart. Remember that and stop this ceaseless out distancing me Who was Lilith who was she? Was she a seductress? Hmm maybe Did she lure travellers all unaware? Was that Lilith with that wild hair? Lilith, Adams first wife flew away She had good reason I’ve heard say She wasn’t meek and not very mild And not keen to be big with child Now most ask Lilith who was she? And carried on a breeze said quietly Lilith was a seductress well maybe I forgive you, and yes it’s lovely you know it is, now stop doing it or I’ll have to send the boys round. Stevie and Roger volunteered, but I don’t know if they’ll beat you, they both have soft hearts I know I checked them, and what fun it was too. Just stop writing the good stuff and I won’t have to do a thing Wicked grin As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Through every age In fool or sage She traps in sweet amour Her loins in heat Can still heartbeat In bliss to Lilith's lure. Loved the truth in your words..... not to mention the warm thoughts that you evoke. Wowser~ you go girl. |
