Bewitch me, Ayesha, in volcanic realms to bathe in the flames of your pillar of light Sorceress of beauty, your power overwhelms your enchanted incarnate, returned from the night Ageless and timeless, in Kor once revered Lost in your eyes, in your spellbinding gaze Two millennia existed, now cruel and feared by the people you’ve ruled in formidable ways Step into the blue flames, to melt and to burn? To give reassurance you step in the blue caressing your body, erotically turn Eternal life beckons in harmony with you We bathe in the light so forever exist Ayesha, Kallikrates ever entwined Then time to step out, but a terrible twist Ayesha you whither likes grapes on a vine Your body is shrivelling, you’re turning to dust Before me my lover gone back to the earth Now I reincarnate forever to lust for you to come back to me, for your rebirth I pine for you, grieve for you, calling your name What you failed to know of the blue fire’s curse is that once you may enter the magical flame but the second time all of its powers reverse.

In dedication to Rider Haggard’s She. The Hammer film was very watchable too
