She. A History of Adventure

" I am She, Ayesha, ruler of Kôr    
Sorceress, Queen, She-who-must-be-obeyed,    
are you my lover I sent through deaths door    
two thousand years ago, returned today?    
     
I heard you call out to me, call to me    
I called thee back to my immortal embrace,    
you'll be HE if you survive what you see    
when I show my Sun-Fired Beautiful Face...    
     
Ah, prostrated, indeed you're Kallikrates    
restored!  Now, through the Pillar of Fire,    
then you too, immortal, will be twice blesséd    
and shall be lost to my raging desire. "    
     
But the jealous Fire burnt her, oh, such wails    
and I, Rew,  escaped intact with my tale...
to continue as I have done lots before
to venture through imagination's door...

Author's Note
Loosely based on Sir Henry Rider Haggard's novel   " She "
It's supposed to be ' Leo ' but I kicked him out, not enough room for two .
