Twilight

if you desire hell

Hell’s not all fire

And brimstone smell

So beguiling and pleasing

You find yourself freezing

Your heart breaks in two

It taunts you It wants you

Compassion’s out of fashion

Bid virtue adieu

It consumes you and dooms you

Your hunger not sated

It binds you confines you

temptation, starvation

Its victory your damnation

Hell yells with elation

It fills you with doubt

Lust and greed does it breed

Lies and distrust are its creed

And fires of hell

A war is a raging

And all is not well…

Lilith loved all of her children equally, but she felt a special bond and affinity for her two oldest daughters, Kali and Kea. They loved the things of the earth and like their mother spent much of their time wandering around paradise amongst the birds, trees ,mountains and seas. Her youngest daughter Eve, was the apple of her fathers eye and rarely left his side, and like her father, her eyes were towards heaven and the earth was only something for ones feet to walk on. Mitheriel, twin to Kali and Azriel, twin to Kea, looked to the earth and the heavens in equal measure. But their love for their sisters outweighed their love for the heavens; so these sons of Lilith preferred the company of women than of God.

Adam watched his daughter gather up berries and fruits for the evening meal. Of all his children she was most like him. Her beauty was but a reflection, as he looked at her he also saw himself, “Her hair of golden hue, eyes of sapphire blue, skin of ivory white, a reflection of the morning light.” She was his delight. He loved all of his children but Kali and Kea in looks and temperament were so like their mother while Mitheriel and Azriel were a combination or a blending of Lilith and he. But Eve was a mirror into his soul and she loved him beyond all others, even God, and that made him feel good.

Lilith’s way was blocked. Guarding the entrance way to the eighth gate stood two magnificent and wondrous angels in all their glory. Never before had she seen them with such clarity. She always saw them as flickering silhouettes, transparent and unobtrusive. But now these angels of God, these golden winged titans were anything but some comforting ghostly presence , but beings of great power and terrifying beauty.

She gathered up her courage and asked:

Oh Ye Angels of God, why do you block my way?

The barbaric hordes of the dark lord have breeched the outer gates of paradise. Corruption has leaked its way in. Oh blessed daughter of this earth and child of God, your way is blocked so that You, Adam and your Children remain pure and stay free of the taint of Lucifer’s hammer. Go back to the “Gardens of Eden” and seek out the “Voice of God”, for She will give answer to the questions that your troubled heart now seeks.

-------

The angels watched Lilith; through the curtain of fire they called down from heaven; turn towards home. They were saddened that they were the ones who took away her innocence. As they were ready to make their final stand against Lucifer’s Hounds, Cameilla (the guardian of the eighth gate) said to her companion:

Lucifer’s corruption has leaked its way into our spirit, weighing it down with body. My clarity of mind is now in a muddled pile of sensation and need is now taking hold. By our own choice, we have locked ourselves out of heaven, so that we might give the young ones a little more time to savor the joys of paradise.

Let’s hope our sacrifice bears fruit. For we are now locked in this prison of time where the weight of our bodies and passions will soon become intolerable. But for now our light is not yet dimmed. Let our light turn this pitch black night into twilight. Make ready and prepare to embrace the darkness of our twins…

Adonael have broken through the light of their soul twins and are now feeding them their darkness. Our voices have now taken on a new lilt. We can now make our own songs and our destiny will now be determined by nobody but ourselves.
