Ancient Visions Poem by Keith Ricardo Williams

wandering down the nile
on memories long forgotten
drifting rapidly through time
i came across a queen
her beauty so rare
her skin so fair
her eyes glowing with excitement
i’m hypnotized by the length of her hair
the grace with which she walks
my ears tingle as she talks
of visions i have never seen
drifting far, and in between
this paradise where i now stand
this wonderful, magnificent ancient land
slowly she grasps my hand
so nervous am i that sweat pours from my brow
my mind said take me i’m yours now
she whispered relax, and dance with me
listen to the romance of the galaxies
this time is meant for you, and I
i could hear cupids arrow fly
it landed straight into my heart
for her beauty was gods greatest work of art
or so i thought
then she kissed me
oh so tenderly our lips embraced
i prayed to the heavens above
for such a love to be sent
now all my sins i repent
scared that i may lose something so precious
worth more than jewels, or any material thing
inside i could hear love start to sing
we cuddled, and held each other tight
as if this was the very last night
yet it’s here i’ll remain
smiling happily insane
with ancient visions of love
