Of Isis Love Lament...

Oh of Isis love lament Raging against Ra’s morning light Where could the time have went Racing through the desert night And by the gods of Karnak We bow to let their power in And make a solemn promise To return time and time again Now to meet my princess On the banks of the Nile To embrace forever more Never to lose my lovers smile Blessed by the gods Granted and gifted light On our lips a promise And then we rush into the night Of gay Paris’s happenings Oui, oui I do recall That covered balcony That overlooked it all The torrid love affair In the heat of passion true An ancient promise kept Memories along the rue And then I met my lover Well down by the shore On the banks of the Seine We embraced each other once more Granted and gifted light Our passions wildly burn And once again my love We submit to the nocturne Flores De la Noche How they do intoxicate As I stand so anxiously Aside a Spanish lake And then my lover’s face Graced with “luce a lun” Our vows reaffirmed And not a moment too soon For there on the banks Of the lake Asturias The strength of our promise Is there to carry us And then as before We’re graced and gifted light In the favor of our Father We go once again into the night And here we stand today Reunited yet again Same love and same heart Only under a different skin And on a beach Pacific From a distance I see my love And I give thanks and praise To the mighty One above Meeting brings us round again To fulfill our ancient ties This I knew the very moment That I gazed into your eyes For once again the gods Have granted and gifted light And our promise afresh fulfilled We go perpetually into the night

WOW. Not to sound corny, but I guess true love never dies! Beautifully written. I love how you blended in the languages and cultures, for despite our different politics, ethics and religions, what we all have in common is, of course, LOVE; it would make sense that it would transcend through time again and again. This poem epitomizes soul mates and is wonderfully written, yet again.
