noble yet the heart
pretentious though he may be
craves eternity

aua hena-k
it is smiling Hathor who calls to me
her breasts full, her sun shining above
my spirit journeys joyous as Amun
within the green of Nu’s birthing waters
my Horus soul soars over the mists
perching on each bowing branch
dutiful Thoth records my passing days
on papyri in hieroglyphs of gold
careful Anubis weighs the purity
of my heart against an honest feather
that tips the scales of Maat’s truth
while knowing Osiris looks grimly on
and when my eyes open at last
i step into the eternal striding waters
and find my salvation
enfolded by the waves
of her love
eternity
for my beloved:
in your pale skin
i see the glow
of the moon
warming space
with a thousand
eager wishes
floating like fairies
among stars
yet to
be born
in your face
i see the destiny
of tender twilight
painted perfect
by innumerable
points of boldest
conjunction
exclaiming
utter
harmony
in your eyes
i see suns shining
planets forming
and the universe
transcending
temporal bonds
of life and death to
express nothing less
than
the heights
of
eternity
