The Beauty of Nefretiri
That the Angel of death may pass you by ~
Her Beauty, the lovely queen of Egypt gazing at Rameses
As he bowed afore his god, this statue with the head of a bird....
Lord of the underworld; with no life, no sight nor hope to offer!?
None that could deliver him or his kingdom from, The Glorious Word ~
Nefretiri, cursed to have lost the love of her life while peering at this
Her man, clutching tightly unto the golden calf left gasping for
Life and breath, within this the kings hardened hands?!
Cow dung trails as he rang the bell to summon his chariots
To battles cry, with her queenship well upon the way unto another
Intoxicating day upon the throne; thinking to herself....
About that worthless bird while Rameses admired his silver sword
Closing her eyes, as the honey wine set in and her chambermaids
So fair, brushed her hair as she softly sighed to forget!?
The image of that marble made god and her king the heir
Now adjusting and pulling his silk war attire from, times crack....
Afore smiling at the soon to be widowed ladies and handing her
His golden calf; that the Angel of death may pass you by?!
