Lilith
The atmosphere vibrates with soft
Voluptuous mists risen from
Insincere poppies. As I sleep
She scans the dance of colours on
My eyelids and assumes the form
Of unattainable desires.
Wantonly twisting golden hair
She stitches images infused
With rapturous prescience.
I see my own reflection dazed,
Imprisoned by the painted edge
Of her abominable eye;
A coldness seizes my rib-cage
As I realise with bitterness,
She is the burden of my dreams.
