I breathe in the sweet breeze that comes from your mouth
I contemplate your beauty every day
All I desire is to hear your lovely voice like the echo of the North Wind
Love will give life back to my limbs.
Give me your hands
The hands that hold my soul
I will embrace you and live again
Call out my name again and again forever
And never will it sound without response.
-The Love-Song of Imhotep
***
This is the actual love-song of Imhotep, written by him during his imprisonment for the blasphemy of his love affair with the Pharaoh's wife. Each alternate line is for him or his lover to recite to each other, to reach each other's astral body- even across the dark gulf of time itself...
