His chest moves
With the rise and fall
Of empires
As she sits in wait
For his awakening.

With virgin obedience
She waits
As the white of her bridal garb fades.
Eons pass as he slumbers
In his earthly tomb.

She waits
Never closing his view
From her sight.
Never stirring from her throne
Never eating, never breathing.

She waits
Perpetually destiny’s queen and bride.
