Description

Good Morning All *S* Here's some Egyptian love poems just in time for the big day tomorrow ! The one in the pic I did has always been my favorite, and haven't we all felt that way about the one we love :o) and yes, I am a 'hopeless romantic' :o) Wishing everyone an early Happy Valentine's Day !!! ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina * When one thinks of ancient Egypt, poetry is not the first thing that comes to mind, but their love poems are perhaps the greatest forgotten treasure. The earliest poetry in Egypt was likely part of an oral tradition. Hymns, stories, and prayers were passed down from speaker to speaker. It's likely that only one person out of every hundred could read and write. Even thousands of years later, their words are still so touching, poignant and timeless. N.B. ....Egyptian lovers called each other brother and sister Your love shall endure Day and night during the hours when I am asleep And when I wake by day. Your form animates hearts The yearning for your voice Gives strength to my body When it is tired. Always I shall say: There is no one else Who is in harmony With your heart, But me only! Come, my brother, swim to me! The water is deep in my love Which carries me to you. We are in the midst of the stream, I clasp the flowers to my breast Which is naked and drips with water. But the moon makes them bloom like the lotus. I give you my flowers because they are beautiful, And you are holding my hand In the middle of the water.
