We spend it close in spirit,
but our bodies never touch.
I know little of your Inner Thoughts,
but your Eyes are like those of Horus,
gazing over me always,
your Heart nurturing like Hathor's
caring for me eternally,
but at a safe distance, from above.
You showed me my Identity;
You chastise me for my wrongdoings.
Like Osiris making my last judgement,
you sit, enthroned, with your tall white hat, flanked by vultures,
and deliver your verdict:
Love.
Love despite my failings, despite my faults,
for which you give me disappointed
looks that smash my heart to pieces,
like Seth did to your own body, you god of the Dead.
And now she, my Isis, gathers them for me.
But she forgets one vital part:
My ability to distinguish good from evil,
and now my heart is not light like the vulture's feather.
It is heavy as a river-stone and will be eaten by jackal-headed beasts.
But still, my time with you is a time of love:
enigmatic, painful love.
