I consider this a universal, intergalactic poem that crossed the boundaries of time and space :D

I thoroughly enjoyed each step of this amazing journey. I gratefully appreciate working with NehpetsEnal and looking forward to future collaborations. :))

****************

She was full of eastern delight.

With long black hair and ebony eyes.
Each twist and turn, set my heart alight.
Sat around the campfire, I could not resist those desert hips.

*

Her arched neck and chiseled bones were my demise.

So were her spirited manner and refined breed.

She trotted around the blazing fire until sunrise.

An equine beauty that took my breath away indeed.

I wished to straddle her back and gallop away,

But my empty bank account defied my need.

*

Only in your wildest dreams would you mount this beauty's back.

Born of the origin, the daughter of the founding Bedouin Tribe.

She's young and crazy and she'd lead you a merry dance.

It's doubtful that even Marengo, Napoleon stallion would catch her eye.

So awake from this dream and let your heart reach out through time to the eternal enchantment of Cleopatra.

The temptress of Pharaohs and Emperors, a goddess that mortal man could not resist.

With a face that sank a thousand ships, a seductive siren that would surely lure you astray

*

My friend, you seem obsessed with hips and seductive sirens.

Cleopatra was never my type of ladies to woo and chase.

I would prefer to seek a different company, refined ladies of honor and grace.

Not those who opened their arms to the enemies and led their countries to utter disgrace.

My type would be someone like the great Nefertiti.

The beautiful one, a true queen of noble deeds.

History has spoken of the magnificent Hatshepsut.

The foremost of noble ladies humanity had ever known.

But even though we may differ, I wouldn't hold a grudge, or cast the first stone.

*

My obsession is with the written word, and the ever-changing reality it lets me create.

It gives me the ability to travel far away, which holds a seduction all its own.

On my journey, I've travelled through space & time, tiptoed on the moon and crossed the Milky Way.

I've spoken with God, prayed with saints and sidestepped those sour pools, that were our source of creation.

Travelling through time, I had the opportunity to stand side by side with an incredible woman who was the primal founder of her female gender's recognition.

My eyes have feasted upon the diminutive beauty of Nefertiti and found her heralding the Sun, Aten, as her god of gods, a great choice as it's the food of life.

When I put down my pen, I simply look back in awe and wonder, at the mysteries and impossibilities created by these ancient dynasties.

My dream is that when our future unfolds, we will have achieved greater things for our planet, without untold suffering for man, woman or beast, allowing later authors to speculate on our greatness.
