~ O ~
The slippery slope of knowing O
A widened window to slither in
The hide and seek of glowing O
Brought unscrupulous mad men in
O sister O, the universal Isis
The solar plexus of knowing O
Made breathing a circular whirlwind
Like the haunting sound of slow cello
A struggle to keep the magic hidden
O sister Isis, Ra is here to listen
Egyptian sands through glass so slow
Brought O to tunnels 'neath pyramids
With men in black after her softest notes
One came to know why crypts kept secrets
O sister Isis, at least pretend to keep your kisses
Like the concertos for Bach's oboes
The princely measure for kingly riches
Were times when O's green eyes did glow
And heads would roll for bloody reasons
Seemed that O had no tolerance for treason
In the end, the scope of knowing O
Was widened to let the lies seep in
And her ruthlessness did ever show
When her royal robes were worn for trysts
Where she'd suck out eyes and bloody lips
For inside O there was no forgiveness
Only asps, and holy magic of old Egyptians...

My Dear Brother Tony,
O Isis, my terror is undenied
For you have summoned me this evening
To come to your bedside

Many men before me
Have been devoured by your love
But occasionally, you show compassion
Grant them life from up above
