Three Poems from the Story: "Kush"

Berenikes Majesty

The loveliness that crowned her youth,
Swept the grounds with all its roots;
With gentle years and womanhood
With lazy-days and laughs of grace;
Now passes by her majesty.

Her breasts triumphant for a life of flesh
Defiant in her pose, Love was captured,
And love was lost, but proudly her child
Did growHer childs her victory, Her
New tranquil majesty.

Sinful Games

Stubborn, are our sins
Faint, is our memory
Of them!...
Like a vapor, that
Surrounds our will;
Tears do not cleanse
Our sins,
Only covers them.

We sink through shadows
Nibbling, here and there;
Sly we think we are
With our hidden desires.
We squeeze the juices
Out of our brains
To play lifes sinful games.

Coldhearted Swan

I wil l not cry, the child-bride scorned
Silent as stone, to marry a man
so very, very old.
Im so-beautiful, she cried, eyes
Wide, her heart in protest:
Father must I marry, in a haunted
pose, she arouse.
Lifes near fair in eternal splendor;
But not so, in the real world.
And like a swan, she covered
Her wings, and become his trophy
his cold-hearted thing.
