Lilith

Witness the bright fires whipping the night. I fear it was desire. Oh I am condemned to brokenness. I chose this, I chose this. From the wound a world woke. I spent my twenties climbing from the trenches of desire. The weeping earth said drink my tears, and so I drink. Bring me to elysium, wellspring of desire.

At your fragile wings of desire, I lived, so ravish me Lilith 
While the bright fires whip the necrotic nights
Ravish me like I am your daughter desire 
I witnessed Oblivion that famished steed galloping towards the living 
Genesis at your starving lips, ravish me Lilith  
Rapture in your arms, I am but a creation of ravening desire 
Genesis on my knees 
Witness your victory 
The darkness it claimed me 
Like I was a daughter of ravishing desire 
Under sunset’s surviving fires, I'm finished at your lips
Genesis on my knees, I witnessed the infinite
Years of darkness, it changed me 
Like I was your sacred daughter of sundering desire
Listen to the vulture’s requiem I am lifted into winged griefs  
In anguish — the fingers of a common crucifix — I witnessed the infinite.
Madonna of the mandrakes, I am your disciple waiting for the poison of delight
Desire burned as devastation in me.
It was chained to me. It was radiance to me. It was I that wrestled with He
In contention! with desire’s grief!
Desire do not relinquish me. I live inside the soaked throat of a dream. The dream of the deluge. From the wound a world rose. You brim inside me like a flood of God so seal me in desire. Seal me in the prison of my skin. Lilith the light rushed like a needle to my spine. I Die I Die. My heart arrested with want. Starving saints at the gates of the black galaxies I listened and I whistled to the infinite as fires whipped the necrotic nights. I knew then that I had to eradicate myself. Lilith, the light is rushing like a needle to my spine. I Die I Die in the riptides of twilight. Vanquished by need like I was in a duel with desire. I witnessed the infinite. I lived, I lived.
