A ka dua...
Words of cessation which haloes in my ear,
Bringing forth a sense of fervour and devotion.
I close my eyes and I see,
A girl with black eyes,
As dark and vacant as the city streets,
A man and woman holding her hands,
Promising her love which won't end for immortality,
Oh, the quintessence of passion!
I look again and I find,
The girl with wavy black hair and a sad plastered smile,
A man brandishing her blights,
And a woman concealing her dreams,
One the lord of the realm after, other the hidden enlightenment within.
I desperately try to find, The girl who am I,
But instead of that, I find her,
Locked into a celestial dream,
Prevailing in a plane unknown,
Mantled by both darkness and light,
Who they are?
I see her as the lord,
With a valour incredible
I see her as the lady,
She who is ever placid.
I see her as the King,
The one who will be remembered for infinity,
I see her as the queen,
The power behind 'him',
The epitome of tremendous perseverance.
I see her as a god,
Whom the deceased bows to,
I see her as a goddess,
She who is the queen of all things living.
I feel them in her,
Two gods and a mortal soul,
Both melted into her,
Making her complete and whole.
They are not different,
They are only one,
Bound by devotion, traversing the barriers of time,
For they are but,
"Three bodies and one soul."

Note; Osiris is the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead, brother-husband to Isis, and one of the most important gods of ancient Egypt. The name 'Osiris' is the Latinized form of the Egyptian Ausar which is interpreted as 'powerful' or 'mighty'.
Osiris, the god of the deceased, was the son and oldest child of Geb, the Earth deity and Nut, the sky goddess. His wife and sister were Isis, goddess of motherhood, magic, fertility, death, healing, and rebirth. It was said that Osiris and Isis were deeply in love with each other, even in the womb.
The Osiris myth is the most elaborate and influential story in ancient Egyptian mythology. It concerns the murder of the god, Osiris a primaeval king of Egypt, and its consequences. Osiris's murderer, his brother Seth, usurps his throne. Meanwhile, Osiris's wife Isis restores her husband's body, allowing him to posthumously conceive their son, Horus.
Personally, I got hyper emotional whilst writing this, thus you all get such an end product XD.
