Xerxes, King of Persia and his 10,000 Immortals...a tale of Karma


Xerxes ruled Persia until he was murdered in 465 BCE. He and his Immortals, a band of 10,000 warriors fought against the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. They consisted of Medes, Elamites and Persians and also served as the royal bodyguard of Xerxes. There is also the karma that came from that lifetime here.

King of Persia

I remember him so long ago
The King of Persia Xerxes by name
A man of great power was he
Ruled he the land from 485–465 BCE
His father Darius a great King too
Of the Achaemenid Empire
Had taught him all the royal skills
Of ruling and of battle

Hydarnes, one of the 10,000 Immortals

I a mere dancer in the court
But well endowed I was 
And loved by many a man
Especially those the Invincibles they were called
Enjoyed my swirling whirling round
My veils flying high 
Revealing lush curves and secrets

They used my body as they would
Hungry always they were
But only one of them I loved
Hydarnes was his name
So much wanted I to be his wife
But that could never be
He of the 10,000 Immortals
Their job it was to protect the King
Die on their swords for him
They were his Royal Guard
Declaring Karma over...
He had a love technique so rare
Other women loved him too
So why be bothered with just one
He did declare


Into this lifetime now we came
To work this out together
For fourteen years he played with me
Until I did declare the karma over
And left him for another

One Step Forward Two Back

It was over so I thought
But is that not what we do
Walk our bodies away
But what happens to our
Thoughts
Feelings
Longings
Urgings


Return over and over again
Planning revenge or some such silly thing
Then karma again hits us in the face
Back we are on the Wheel of Eighty Four

Over means Over


Declaring it Over means OVER
No going back in anyway
Mind
Emotions
Physical contact


and so it is
