write down your name
on the wall of the stones
in the valley of the kings
and climb to its top
finding the times difficulty passing by
watching couple of bikes from a distance, our travel
and the grain of the sands are dancing
in thebes


a ray od sunlight
a gift from the ancient of sun god
amon-re
ra


pushing the inert gases
warmering the ground of mother earth
at the gate of colossi of memnon
maat-kau-re
ra-setep-meri-amen
memnon the legend
who killed by achilles' sword
in the battle of troy


how far those bikes will travel
passing the sugarcane fields
the old catacombs
the coptic cross; ankh
reading every single word in their holy book
bi-lingual arabic and greek
saint tawdros el marsekiy


among the sands i already found
the ancient legends
the conquers king ramses II
the great woman pharaoh hatshepsut
someone who refuse to be crowned as a queen, rather to pharaoh means king
since woman and man are the same; and a king no need classified by sex difference
as the same like a truth
without any other perception
just exact
as the one

write down your name
on the wall of the stones
in the valley of the kings
in every single hill around thebes
at the villages of the bedouin
notice that every single second your love is flowing within my blood
sublimated in every single particle of the oxygen that my lungs take it in
in thebes


i miss you truely
as a soul unity in mine
above its physically presence
like love of the goddess isis to god osiris
collect piece by piece of the dead body of her beloved husband
that killed by the darkness knights
diced to be thousand pieces for the animals along the nile
but her love make him awake perfectly
and they're blessed by horus as their own child


write down your name
on the wall of the stones
in the valley of the kings
i will miss you, always
and underlining
the love we share
