The Hermetic Library
I'm delighted to have my 'Lilith' up at The Hermetic Library. If you do visit the website, don't pass on the opportunity to browse some of the gems of the Western Esoteric Tradition.

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.
