Lilith Poem by Marton Dezso

Lilith

Rating: 3.4


I was created from the earth
Just like him but before him
The first woman the first wife I am
As equal I didn't bow before him.

On wings of storm on mist of sea I ran
But the Three were sent to catch me
'Drown me in the water if you can! '
But they didn't dare to test me.

My skin is like the avid moon
My hair the crawling snakes of fire
Only death spreads from my womb
On your tomb I will carve desire.

What a wonderful, but brief spin on Lilith, the first mythological wife of Adam.

A well crafted, 'interesting' poem with a fascinating narrative. The sort of poem that demands a 'google' search to find out more. You use words very effectively and economically to pick the eyes out of your story and leave the reader knowing more than they imagine. I am enjoying your work. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
