I have a new apple
for your delectation,
my acquiescent love.
Eat fully of lust now,
fulfill yourself in me
fill my fruit with your seed,
for what would you prefer?
Condemnation and banishment
for knowledge or for salaciousness
You will never forget the name of Lilith.
Author notes
Written for picture prompt: http://www.phantasm777.com/vampiress/lilith2.jpg
Not only inspired by the picture itself to write this piece, but also the name of the picture, "Lilith".
Mythologically, in the Apocryphal books of the Bible, Lilith was Adam's first wife who was cast out of Eden (and demonized) by God simply for refusing to be subservient to Adam. She is listed in other mythos as being one of the wives of Satan and is said to represent sexual liberation, so I thought that this would work well as having her as the tempter of lust.
