I tell you this---When, started from the goal,
Over the flaming sholders of the Foal
Of Heav'n Parwin and Mushtari they flung.
In my predestined Plot of Dust and Soul.. By Omar.

Omar Khayyam, a Persian Astronomer/astrologer, alchemist and the greatest bard to have ever walked this earth, Omar was one of eight men chosen to reform the old calendar, the result of which was the Jalali era, a computation of time which surpasses the Julian and approaches the accuracy of the Gregorian style.

Called "The King of the Wise," he died at Naishapur in either 1123, or 1132 AD, "Khayyam" was his pen name and means "Tent Maker" who also says in one of his Quantrans,

Ah! But my computations people say
Reduced the year to better reckoning, Nay;
T'was only striking from the calendar
Unborn tomorrow, and dead yesterday.

It was He to who I was referring when I wrote this poem.

When we were young I merged with thee the blood of youth still flowing free
The bread, the wine, the poetry, beneath the old forbidden tree
How sweet the fruit that we have shared, across the gulf of time we dared
To stand before each other bared and free of guilt embraced and paired.
Our love beyond earth’s great desire, a love that burns more fierce than fire
I lay me down on broken briar, your son upon the funeral pyre.
Like rings of onions you have peeled the mysteries that the atom sealed
God’s heavenly tablets once concealed, to me, though you, the Lord revealed
May He in me with love’s desires, wash your body ere it dies
With fragrance sweet that ne’er expires—to snare the righteous passer-byes
The spark of life leaps ever higher, spiralling up from fire to fire
To He, with who we did conspire, to grasp this scheme of things entire
The crystal there beside your seat, the written formula incomplete
My brothers now lay at your feet their offerings that you might eat
Awake my Lord, for now’s the time to offer to the world your wine
Reveal on every written line, your secrets, through these words of mine
May you, when for your morning sup of heavenly vintage, from the soil look up
Through wine that drips down drop by drop—know He—who holds the inverted cup…By S-word

BTW, "Parwin" is the constellation of the Pleiades, and "Mushtari" is the Planet Jupiter.
