Forbidden City

Iram of the Pillars

Shut up by the starry Seal of Suleiman of Yerushalahim 
I separated the ''What is above'' from ''What is Bellow'
Then walked the unlocked great Venusian Gate of Inanna 
The Robe of Years covered everything under my sight
Sand and dust, layers upon layers draped the dead city
Musical echoes worn out by silence floated like flagrance
Choir voices chanted Mantra of Eternity to secure immortality
Under covered majestic desert swallowed dome made my path
Each step reverbed troubling the dreams of the Sleepers 
Slit reptilian eyes opened and followed my trail with cold blood hatred
Underground wind blown in a constant wailing organ single note
Immaterial drum beat seems to thunder in my head 
But only the rush of fear interpreted by my own blood 
Silver luth and sitar strings where plucked here centuries ago
Revealed the sound stained omnipresent white silence 
Female complaint from eons past petrified in the wind
