LILITH AND HER CHILDREN

Lilith and Her Children

Lilith, Queen of Darkness, reigns

In nether regions, dwells

Beyond the ports of hope and dreams

In realms of crimson hells

She longs to be a Lady

But demon will remain

Till all the souls of men are hers

And all the Life is drained

Lilith, Queen of Darkness, walks

In dead of night to seek

The children in their little beds

So innocent and meek

Kisses them with her poison mouth

Takes their sweet flavored breath

Pats their soft and tender flesh

And lays them down in death

Lilith, Queen of Darkness, longs

For worship and adoration

For subjects bowing at her throne

Their fear, her decoration

She does not love, she cannot love

She pretends to love the lost

But crushes them in her taloned hands

If they dare to touch the Cross

Lilith, Queen of Darkness, lies

Her words a fabled tale

She did not come from Paradise

But from the bowels of Hell

No apples from the trees of Eden

Have ever touched her mouth

She did not walk that cool green garden

For the angels kept her out

And so she walks this fallen field

And seeks men's souls to eat

The Queen of Darkness with wicked eyes

And lost children at her feet.

O TO BE A SEAGULL

   O, To Be a SeaGull

O, to be a seagull

To sail the whispering sea

To catch the sun when day is done

And never need the tree.

O, to be a seagull

With nothing more to do

Than watch for food and catch it

And bathe within the blue.

O, to be a seagull

With freedom in my soul

Feathers ruffled with the wind

And days made out of gold.

O, to be a seagull

Not tethered to the earth

To know your purpose in this world

Between your death and birth.

O, to be a seagull

A common bird for sure

But special in my eyes so that

That bird, I wish I were.

SHE KNOWS

 She Knows

The ocean waits for my waking

She lies quiet between the shorelines

Purring like a cat 
That dreams of cream

Yawning with the chill of new dawn,

I pull on clothes that smell of sand,

Stumble through the house still dark with night shade,

And throw open the door to a sunrise made by God

There she is, the love of my life!

The tides wave at me with their silvery-white fingers

Beckon me towards her with calls of love 
That too few men can hear

I can only stand there 
In amazement at her beauty

While morning wraps itself 
Around my drowsy shoulders now wide awake

The sea is my lover,

My muse and my temptation

Roaring in my ears

And whispering in my soul like no other can

The sun rises gold in an azure sky

And I can wait no longer

I run to her

My arms outstretched and longing

Laughing as she splashes my face in greeting

Where have you been? she asks

As she folds me in 
Her salty sweet embrace

I was dreaming of you, my love, I answer
Though words are not needed between us

Because she knows

She knows.
