Forgotten dreams

enchanting seductress weaving      
 smiling, beguiling beauty through      
  tormenting masquerade belies      
   phantom mistress pervades my sighs      
     
when taunting seems a tease      
 my ghost drifts away to leave      
  then haunting dreams rendezvous so fond      
   tempting me to follow you beyond      
 
your spirit revolves too many
 temptress, succubus you descend
  book of shadows inherit plenty
   deceitful, Cleopatra you pretend
     
webs of mystery of your return      
 seer of the past, memories burn      
  shandra of Beersheba faces shift      
   queen or priestess disguise gifts      
     
beware the unholy underworld      
 vengeance cast through visions of my decline      
  marvel of images spins your storm      
   offering nefarious nymphs of wine      
     
bewitching chants persuade my heart      
 behold the paradigm of spells      
  sorceress transcends magic marks      
   voracious is your need to compel      
     
vulnerable, my soul in solitude      
 fallen angel of time, furies find      
  surrender close, betrayal slides askew      
   pray I overcome, passions dreamed divine      
     
Isis abolishes, symbols of Thoth      
 ancient rites allow the coming moon      
  Ra enslaves kings, trodden and lost      
   holy pyramid, raise pharaohs tombs      
     
river of red on funeral passage sails      
 incantations from the book of dead      
  golden disk from the west, Horus prevails      
   guardian, magic orbs from heaven tread      
     
stars shine upon the great Nile drinking      
 whims of Nefer-ka-ptah determine sin      
  children of Memphis sacred in his eyes      
   prophecies and dreams spiral within      
     
singing maidens songs devout of you      
 warriors march and chariots wheels devour      
  their death sacrifices without mercy      
   promises the prince of darkness the deceiver      
     
lamenting the death of so many souls      
 woe and wailing bereft, judge me not      
  I am but a vessel, visions fore told      
   washing away my forgotten dreams
