A Lover's Nest

Lost in war and in love centuries ago they were sworn to each other

Their hearts became one, in a lover's nest of torn feathers of Egyptian passion

A love affair no other could dare, drifting back and forth from shore to shore

A golden locket lay across her neck with the promise of love faithful

A longing, a yearning for desire with fate wasting away

Cleopatra hiding not death yet, but  Antony in agony and sorrow

Brought together once again in a life thereafter

Twigs and threads of memories past and present

Down and feathers, the cottonwood, and thistles

Branches so tiny, clay from the earth, webs from the spider so fine

A lover's nest to huddle, cuddle, cue, fondle neck to breast

With the heart beating so very fast, the eyes close shut for the moment

The moment of time flies by, then the love shared brings life

To cover and give warmth to protect and to nurture to a new beginning

To sing a song with passion and grace to fill the nest with melody

For the time of an eternal life of love and passion with wings it lives

The gift of a first flight in time and place

A nest of thanks to be so blessed with this kiss of lust

At last the bite of life never more it be

A lover's nest at rest in the tombs of memories once known

Forever in lover's nest of the love triangle of the pyramids
