I want to paint him in decibels
powerful enough to signal Atlantis home

Bold, vibrant images…
portraying his strength, depth and integrity

If I could…
I’d etch his heart scribes
on the Tablets of Life with a desert diamond quill

Entombing his triumphs and tribulations
upon the walls within the Valley of the Kings…
where Heqaiunushema was lain to rest

If it were possible…
I’d bathe him in the river called Time,
diminish his worries
grant him absolution for past sins

Show him that true happiness doesn’t come
with the price tag of selling his soul,
only by opening his heart and mind…

Heqaiunushema{King Tut}

I believe every poem has a story behind it and what a fantastic story I bet this is!

I can relate to this write because I have someone that I feel the same way about (most of the time anyway)
