The Epic of Gilgamesh c. 2150-1400 BCE
I found Your secret revealed
Unspoken and untold
Your true nature's story
Sealed
In your gaze of glory
Finally unfold
Until now
You never looked in my eye
Your head bow
To hide the depth of your mystic being
Where lies and thus you lie
To those who know no beginning
And only are left what is left
As a result of your creation
Into manifestation
Of your divinity
Now I look
Hidden in your eyes
Turquoise deep lakes of joy and sorrow
Evil and good in perfect integrity
Shook me to the bone marrow
As if I’ve read the Creation Book
You’re not “the Aphrodite lass”
Not a fleeting Greek
Pantheon cutie
You’re of a different class
Primordial Ishtar
Thee art
There we seek
The origin of your beauty
In your heart
Through your eyes we look in
Complex sea we can see and see
Finally understood
The meaning of original sin
How attributed in Thee
Could be war
and the same motherhood.
There they store
In those eyes of yours
Opal black stones of desire
I am finding
and loose myself as it goes
when you are water and fire
trying binding.
And like the ancient brov’
Gilgamesh had found once
Impossible of Thee to love
The shire man’s desperation
Despite his hero stance
To get the Goddess’ prime manifestation
Of the Original Existence
Matching Death and Life
Heaven and Earth, Closeness and Distance
In your eyes I strive.
