I.
I breathe in deeply
the fragrance of your soul
the ringing of bells
for whom my heart doth toll
I embrace your spirit
and soar with elation
I fly with romance
and sense the creation
of a rose unfolding
dew sparkles on my face
the beating of my heart
as it quickens its pace
from thought of your smile
the Queen of my Nile.
II.
I close my eyes sharply
to see you in the mist
my lungs stop their pumping
as I think of our tryst
my love burns hotter than
the sun in the sky
nothing will ever come
between you and I
I sigh with the hours
that must pass on by
until the rendezvous
I am King on High
your perfect lover while
you are Queen of my Nile.
III.
The softness of your skin
the redness of your lips
the glitter of your eyes
and the curve of your hips
the passion of your touch
the nibble of your teeth
the playful bit of love
has hung me like a wreath
around and around you
spiraling up with love
you are the olive branch
and I the stoic dove
who would fly infinite miles
for you, the Queen of my Nile.
IV.
In your eyes I see your thoughts
the intelligence you own
the wit you have is quite sharp
able to carve straight through stone
you coerce me to laugh
when I despise the world
your charm breaks down my wall
you are my gift unfurled
your innocence is pure
you trust me as a child
with you I feel secure
'tis why my love is wild
never would you put me on trial
you have the faith, Queen of my Nile.
V.
My love for you knows no bounds
you are half of my soul
with you near I feel complete
together we are whole
I drink to perfection
the mate of my soul
I drink to our sweet love
never am I full
the Bells are now ringing
I take your hand in mine
and drink in deeply of
the love stronger than wine
I grin and in return you smile
you are the true Queen of my Nile.
