Osiris

Your amber skin so soft,

Seduced me more tonight

I felt the scent of musk,

Wild narcisuss, and lotus,

As if I m drunk with wine.

Where have you been

My sister, far away

Our naughty childhood

Games remain

But now in me arising new

Deep feeling, longing

From my blood –

Connected with yours,

I stretch my arms

To touch your raven black

Hair in tiny plaits,

You are mysterious

priestess, dancer of Gods –

You make my heart tremble

Feeling painful love.

When it all started, Isis?

One day just I watched

Your flowing body in the Nile

It was like water in a waterfall,

So gentle, naked, fragile

In transparent tunic

Since then my heart

Sinks in memory and ache.

I know, Isis sister sweet,

You`ll adore my shadow

And my Ka complete,

Even when I die

And when in underworld

Forgotten by humans

My mummy will wander

In vein, lost soul

But still loved by you alone.
