Akhenaten Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Premium Member confidence of Pharaoh Akhenaten

Pharaoh Akhenaten liked his potbelly to show
He told the artists to draw him Rubenesque without woe
An Egyptian monarch with confidence back in the day
So, the skilled artesian painted Akhenaten exactly that way.

Premium Member Nefertiti the Bearded Queen

Nefertiti the bearded queen
Began her royal life at fifteen
Wooed and wed by Pharaoh Akhenaten
Ancient Egypt never was this rich again.

Nefertiti “the beautiful one has come”
Had six daughters, but unfortunately lost one.
She and her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten
Started worshipping only one god – the Sun.

Nefertiti went from Great Royal Wife
Promoted to co-regent without much strife
When her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten died, 
It elevated her to rule beside his spiritual side

She was considered equal to a pharaoh now
Her legacy of changing religion is now a wow
Mansion of Benben temple dedicated to her
Visit the tombs, and hear her purr.

Tutankhamun

His age asked no ease
Yet death took the toll
His people were deprived of a king,
When a new civilisation unearthed.
He was the youngest king and the youngest to die.
As the drums beat in the dusty dawn of the Sahara
A wooden Egyptian table was laid and his guts,
Were spilt open for mummification.
Egypt wept, the Nile drenched and the Sahara quenched
As they watched a young king wrapped up,
And prepared for the after life.
His visions went down with him and much wasn't said of him
So recent generations only considered him a boy king 
Until Howard Carter revealed to us his tomb 
Stuffed with gold more pure and beyond imagination 
" The mummy returned but not alone "
Today we call him the golden king 
The son of Akhenaten 
The greatest pharaoh !!!

Ancient Mental Technicians and Wishing Magicians

Intelliangelical state of mind/ state of shine
A Crooked cuffed commitment won't be my contentment
Time will tell truth 
Proof it's in the put-in
Please no cardiac arrest in my thoughts
Brainwashed influence of the masses 
seasoned leaves fallen, hearts lost and fall in apart
will never break my heart as a whole unified with my tax bracket .
Now how tragic

in order to be above the new order 
just number 24 slam dunk on em like magic
As u develop your plot 
I develop my system of thoughts
Create an intelligible  system better the the system that's taught
Anticipating every action that is morally naught
Humanitarian king akhenaten feeling
Caused ameri-mirror  modern slave Egypt
Got me utilizing every ability with edict

What Am I

Pharaohs have always related
themselves with me;
many hymns and prayers have been
done for me. The Pharaoh Akhenaten
was very fond of me.

I have always starred in the play of seasons,
playing the character of the radiant
and warm one. Many people take a vacation
and enjoy my presence.

I usually look as though I'm drowning
into the ocean,
when the moon is becoming more visible.

Moles are afraid of me;
they keep burrowing and burrowing,
to escape my radiance.

What am I?


When I Dream I Lust

So while I dream of rainbow Neferiti 
And gummy bear Akhenaten her fingers 
Make love to the skin on my back oh
Eternal slumber be my lover conceive 
My offspring on sheets of broken 
Glass run for the demon in me
Has risen his lips pursed in a 
Wry smile my eyes a dark sky
Mistake not these tears for 
Rain but shelter as I salivate:
Yes I can love you but I will 
Break you if you stay a wilted
Flower I shall decorate my table 
To feast on your desires overflow
My chalice with your happiness and
Drink it gladly this insatiable thirst
Drives me to you when I dream I do not
Love when I dream I LUST...
