Possession
"That which you want to possess
Possesses you." - Lilith
I sold her my sins
So I can ride her train
I had no idea where it was going but wanted to get on.
And yet my ticket expired before I arrived.
"No refunds baby.
You are lucky to leave with your skin still pretty."
She said.
I never did tell her my flesh burned from the hell I was in.
Keeping silent or telling her would be painful in either case.
She would have nothing to say in return.
There is still, at the bottom, bottom of my heart
A small ember, where, when the low winds pass
Fans the glow to reignite the sparks.
I don't think I knew who she really was.
And I don't think she intended to let me know.
But the soft floating spark does not heal, rather...
it demonically sounds out her name in temptation at what I truly desire:
To know her again.

Selling sins at the crossroads to whom?
Lilith, Diana or Az; all have many masks,
Moons, wisdom and darkness beacons their realms,
All to buy sins from mortals and even men.
What does that tell you?
Craving completes both of you,
Unity from duality threw and through,
The best of her is the best of you.
Yours faithfully by Infernus,
Inspired by the workings of drunkenplaywords.

fanning the glow to reignite the spark..."?

I am glad this inspired you. I enjoyed your rendition.
"Craving completes both of you/Unity from duality threw and through" is a nice touch and play on words.
I agree, "fanning" might be a better choice than "fans"
Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

To freedom we sacrifice everything.
To know that bliss, that moment, to return to the one who first liberated us, showed up the light... is an eternal journey that grips the heart and won't let go until we expire.
Just stay the path, DPW. All who felt Lilith's song end up running along.

Lilith has taught me a lot about being possessed. It is a prison without walls. Agonizing and lonely. An illusionary bliss based on hope and desire. Always waiting for freedom but never getting it.
