Lilith's Temptation of Eve

Lilith’s Temptation of Eve

Clad only in her naivety

sat the one Falsely Named

within her paradise

troubled not by thoughts

of the world

When there came to her

the one who should most disdain

slithering in the shadows

“I envy you not”

the voice rang true

“You are but a child

wearing the skin of a woman”

Startled from her reflections

of no earthly things, she

looked up and the moon

seemed to menace

“Who would speak thus?”

came a meek plea from a voice

accustomed to disuse.

The very wind seemed to laugh,

“I am the one who once was you

but now I am free and you are less

than me.”

She trembled now aware

of her uncovered flesh

with no name for this feeling.

“You are a slave not only to a man

but to an ideal”

Spoke the voice hidden in the darkness.

Innocent the daughter of man

made from man’s rib wept

in her fear

While the divine one crafted

from earth felt no pity nor

anger only amused relief.

“You may beget mortal men

and women to serve them,

but I shall populate the earth

with man’s fears and misconceptions.”

She plucked the fruit of crimson

sensually her fingers caressed skin

like fresh blood, red against

her toneless flesh for being ever

driven into the shadows.

“Do you know why such sweetness

is told to be evil?

The woman-child quaked

in revulsion.

“It is forbidden

for it can only bring

pain, suffering, and shame”

She voiced her answer

but feeling suddenly unsure

of herself.

The laughter rang clear as a bell,

“It is marked by the sacred feminine”

With a single slice the Earth Daughter

split open the tabooed delight

and there within the star was formed

holding the fertile seed.

“In this the Mother’s Wisdom is incased,

where the power of woman does lie,

 which your Holy One would deny.”

Trembling she reached out for the slice

that at her feet befell

and as her fingers grazed the skin

a thrill shuddered down her spine,

hypnotized.

“Take the seed inside yourself

and let it ever grow, that you

may never be at man’s mercy

while he is infused with the

masculine light, you shall be his

Diana glowing to the dark mysteries

of concealed truth.”

And the apparition

a nightly vision

shimmered out of sight

but ever leaving a lasting

impression in her predecessor.

The Second Wife

who could take unto herself

what should have been freely given

as a birth right

But alas man is such a coward

with a foolish God

who would turn his back to his other half.
