Analysis of My Mistress Lilith
Lilith My Domina
I love your night darkness evoking insane joys.
You, Lilith, my demon clawed in my womb,
you own me and you make yourself possessed.
I take you. You take me. Never satiated you smile.
Desire makes me your male, lust your female.
I penetrate you, penetrate me! Make me suffer, it is my destiny.
Your hooked hands joyfully sink into my chest.
Your pale fingers hold my heart dripping drops of
red pleasure,
Satisfied with the lust you evoked,
You shake your black wings in the silence of dawn.
Haughty and enigmatic, you ignore the sound of my call.
Lilith, my Domina, you abandon me alone, deprived of pleasure, refusing to possess me, orphan of painful submission submission,
I scream with rage, my bowels still swollen and throbbing with passion. I invoke you.
I see with horror the slow flapping of the black wings that takes you far away.
You have abandoned me, Now, now of whom will I be a love slave?
