"Banished butterfly" [poem]

Descend from heaven of your mouth

to the infernal heat of your chamber

it requires a charm…

does not fall vertiginously into the abyss

as an angel banished from the land of God;

rather it descends slowly and gracefully

as a butterfly without fears.

She flutters between the mountains and plains;

her soul just like Lilith's at the moment

decided to banish herself

to taste the seed of a delicious flower.

Wow, beautiful poem. The last bit reminds me of Persephone who Hades dragged down to hell to spend the rest of her life, keeping her by having her eat a fruit from hell. The number of seeds she consumed marked the number of months she stayed with him in a year. Great job :)

That is actually my point. I love their story. Is kinda like a love story more than a kidnap. Thank you for reading.
