Abydos Poems | Examples


Boweth Not Thoth When Thoth Thy Need Not

O Scribes of Thebes, take the noose, burn fiercely the words of Aleister Crowley.                   
For all the wisdom of the hieroglyphic signs lies in union with only one cosmorat-the creator of the tongue of the sun-god Ra and counterpart of Seshat and spouse to Ma'at.   
And If a man is double-dealing and his utterance is false, do not trust his utterances, do not heed his tales of woe_ !             
 In the beginning of creation were hermeneutics, astronomy, geography and medicine
When Thoth was taught the signs of the sacred tablet .      

How dare Egypt! How dare Hesert, Abydos, Rekhui, Per-Ab, Urit, Pselket, Hat, Sep, Ta-ur, Bah,Antcha-Mutet ,Talmsis, Ta-kens and Amen-heri-ab Shrines!                                         

Tell you the truth you scholars and believers who dwelleth in these darkest places of Thoth: In Judgment of Monsoon, your souls shall be extirpated from the surface of the Terra Firma.

 Men who bow in homage to the face of Adam and mankind,
 There's a spectrum of atom, sun, four elements, five saints, dimensions six. Go seek His attributes! But explanations cannot compass him.

Abydos - Opening of the Tomb

Well I can see the golden Falcon of Edfu
circling Abydos tonight in the shadow of
a blue moon, I can feel the cool, cool desert
winds walking the three star path of the 
Jackal back to Giza again pulling my cape
up around me tight I enter the ancient and 
dark catacombs down, down to your never
opened tomb and I recite these words from
the Book Of The Dead...the cavern is opened
for you in the abyss and in the sunshine
you are released; the cavern is opened for Shu
and if he comes out may you come out...rise now
and take your seat in the bark of Re the great
one who rises and shines in the waterway of
the lake...so mote it be!

Incarnation

I  have been here, the touch of the rose petals under my feet...The drink of lotus wine, adorned in white lien  and gold...   Behind the  veils , in the temples of Abydos  ... The scenes replay.... Flicking like wish candles in the whirling  winds.. Scents of Myrrh  ascend, as the priestess chants, spells of love... Amazons rides the waves of sand....

I have been here, welding the sword on the battlefield of Mongols ... Under the thunderous hooves horses, salty blood flowed, in glory and valor of, Genghis Khan.. 

I have been here, crystalline  Kama Sutra, frozen in time.. The of  dance of creation.. The Tantric courtesan  spreads her sensuous  legs,  in service to the  Ruby Maharaja....

I have been here,  young crippled  boy,  holding the banner of atonement.. As he  limps in  procession of saffron cloaked Buddhist  monks... 

 I have been here, full circle.. Cleansing the lives ,the field ,the heart, in the truest core of being.. The Web ebbs and flows...  Earth Bound again, the cycle of life continues...

Premium MemberHero and Leander - the Surface From Depth

Leander loved Hero, who lived on the opposite side of the strait, and would swim to her each 
night, but was drowned in a tempest. Hero in despair cast herself into the sea.*

What body this    asea    all vision past
This hallow'd temple bobbing half-between?
What vengeful God has sheath'd fond Hero's light
Commanding tempest fingers    long    and    lean?

To wake no more    no more to pad the fields
Of hyacinth on fair Abydos' shore;
Is truth    deep gone    asparay in jet-black waves
Which buoy the spirit on no more    no more

What figure this    at peace    which calmly drounds
While all around the shrieking bedlam raves?
What zealous    spectral God does rage above
Disturbing not the silence of the grave?
