The Slumbering Lilith

Jai Maha Kali

Above in the night sky

Beyond where any star may shine

Past twisting roads left by the cunning Loki

In a land born from the Midnight Sun

Where black horizons lay rest the restless 

She waits for us, in her never ending slumber

To call upon her name and awaken 

The fires that ignite her wrath 

To the North we call upon fire 

To the South we call upon winter

From the West come merciless storms 

From the East come plague and drought

Amazing use of words.
"To the North we call upon fire
To the South we call upon winter
From the West come merciless storms
From the East come plague and drought"
The above lines. Perfect. Made me wish to read more. Myth and tale is my favorite. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Stark, lean imagery that makes for a dark and powerful portrayal.
More here, though, than mere depiction.

[Marlice Morgan]

Love the imagery and the feeling of unavoidable doom lingering at all corners.

This is very beautiful! I love how dark the tone is and how you successfully depict this world of madness and darkness. That's something I could relate to. I also love the drawing! Great job, keep it up!

I love the imagery and the rhythm of this poem. But it is so dark, and your bio says "complete madness". The other poem also beautiful but darker- with being a part of the "Black Flame". My question is- why would you want to be my friend when we seem to be at opposite sides of the light spectrum? Perhaps you write from a place of emotion, or identification with the shadow. It is cold anger and power I feel - perhaps this is intentional in your expression. We seem to belong to vastly different circles- but poetry does not tell the full story. Tell me yours.

I see you and everyone else as what they are: Human. Not as what they believe. Seeing things in the opposite way of that is what causes war, hatred, and violence among people we would otherwise love. Here is a place where art is represented, dark or light. Thank you for your time and review.
