From The Sonnets Of Lilith

#1

I heard the angels singing on that day
When you made me from dust and morning dew
For him was I created sexy me
Then all at once in Eden I then stood
The garden of my sadness and my joy
Where I first saw your face and heard your voice
And where I learned of sex my first rejoice
When making love to Adam that hard boy
And even when I'm not quite in the mood
His touch burns my skin most passionately
Then all to soon he rises and is through
To leave me alone with that snake to play

I want to run away and hide from him
Who makes the act of making love seem grim.

From The Sonnets Of Adam

#2

Lilith now tries my patience day and night
Insisting to be leader when we dance
This women on top always wants to be
When ever it is we are making love
And now I see a darkness in her eyes
As if to say her soul is colored black
And that a sense of goodness she must lack
And in her speech I hear the blatant lies
bellowing down from her throat perched above
Which I am forced to look upward to see
Pref'ing to close my eyes with just a glance
While all the time feeling somethings not right

I can not spend forever looking up
At Lilith drinking from her macho cup.


-------------------------------------------

After God created Adam, who was alone,
He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone'
(Gen. 2:18). He then created a woman for Adam,
from the earth, as He had created Adam himself,
and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith began to fight.
She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said,
'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top.
For you are fit only to be in the bottom position,
while I am to be in the superior one.' Lilith responded,
'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both
created from the earth.' But they would not listen
to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced
the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air.
Adam stood in prayer before his Creator:
'Sovereign of the universe!' he said,
'the woman you gave me has run away.
' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He,
sent these three angles to bring her back.

"Said the Holy One to Adam,
If she agrees to come back, fine.
If not she must permit one hundred of her
children to die every day.
' The angels left God and pursued Lilith,
whom they overtook in the midst of the sea,
in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians
were destined to drown. They told her God's word,
but she did not wish to return.
The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.'
