From the Tower, by Melissa Cannon (poetry, 1981?)
"And again I feel
her black wings opening:
do not tame my angel"
Blurb: A poem about a woman's intense, erotic love for her Lilith angel, who comes for her in dreams.
Why is it worth your time?: It's a short, intense, erotic poem about sapphic spirit love. Give it a shot!
Plural Tags: abuse not mentioned, otherworld (dreams), dreamfolk, nonhumans (angels, Lilith?), intimate relationships, spiritual
Content Warnings: contain spoilers; see comments
Access Notes: Screenreadable, free to read on archive.org. Read it here! I'm also just going to post it in the comments because it seems likely to disappear off the internet.
Misc Notes: Published in a Thelema tome, The Equinox Vol. 5 No. 4: Sex and Religion, which has a lot of older stuff in it that isn't well dated. Using 1981 as a placeholder for now, since that's when the book came out.

From the Tower, by Melissa Cannon
by Melissa Cannon
And again I feel
her black wings opening:
do not tame my angel
she would fly through darkness
do not tame my angel
who hates houses of sleepers.
she, so restless at midnight
daring bats and stars
she twists around my bed
she turns me from my marriage
she makes images in shadows
she calls me, her dark hands
do not tame my angel
with your boxes and coffins
do not tame my angel
though I often fear to face her
though I have tried to kill her
tried to drug or rein her
o let her ride and take me
do not tame my angel
