The Blue Flames of Immortality

Bewitch me, Ayesha, in volcanic realms

to bathe in the flames of your pillar of light

Sorceress of beauty, your power overwhelms

your enchanted incarnate, returned from the night

Ageless and timeless, in Kor once revered

Lost in your eyes, in your spellbinding gaze

Two millennia existed, now cruel and feared

by the people you’ve ruled in formidable ways

Step into the blue flames, to melt and to burn?

To give reassurance you step in the blue

carressing  your body, erotically turn

Eternal life beckons, in harmony with you

We bathe in the light so forever exist

Ayesha, Kallikrates ever entwined

Then time to step out, but a terrible twist

Ayesha, you whither like grapes on a vine

Your body is shrivelling, you’re turning to dust

Before me, my lover, gone back to the earth

Now I reincarnate, forever to lust

for you to come back to me, for your rebirth

I pine for you, grieve for you, calling your name

what you failed to know of the blue fire’s curse

is that once you may enter the magical flame

but the second time all of its powers reverse
