i need
to see your
fluid figure
drink from
your body
firstly
testing with a toe
the water's fine
diving in
skinny dipping
as water
we flow
together
as one
Aswan
damn
my mind
melts
dripping
down my body
thinking
this while
taking
a cold
shower

Green scene that caught and took me clean away,
captivated on the sights as the train
excels, on our progress in the same day,
a rare place I will never know and gain.
The Nile amongst the fields and the beauty
of the palm trees, and brown sandy places,
camels, tall pyramids so much to see
as we pass the sites and sun kissed faces.
Travel between Suez, Luxor, Aswan,
Alexandria, Port Said, and Cairo.
Breathtaking, you never have time to yawn
knowing it will be a fabulous show.
Traveling through Egypt's grace in leisure,
a lulling train rides in comfort pleasure.

They couldn't have chosen a nest-bed more complex, or vaster.
I lauded their industry (toiling through Sunday, no qualms!),
and almost felt guilty for loitering by their pilaster.
My wife was the hold-up. Those scanty straps were a disaster,
her shoulders cold-shouldered! Here, there's no right to bare arms.
Basilicas don't come mightier, or more splendid, than this one:
Saint Peter's in Rome, High Renaissance, wide-fabled by poets.
The great Michelangelo crafted this Christian Aswan:
they've gathered its glories in guidebooks, so no-one need miss one.
Those frantic ants scampered on legend, but they didn't know it.
And isn't that rather like us? As we hurry and scurry,
accomplishing little, accounting ourselves oh so clever,
ignoring the story (except our immediate worries),
deploring as boring whatever creates no quick flurry,
we miss the magnificence dwarfing our petty endeavours.

Luxor, oh Kharmack
Temples to Amon, Amon Ra
Pharaohs in sacred reverence
For both gods lifted
Along the majestic Nile
Through Upper Egypt
What an elite ... to stand quiet
There, on the Kings valley
At Tuntakamon progeny´s way
The Palace of Hatshepsut
In the Valley of the Queens
Majestic Horus and by Felucca
The Mausoleum of Agha Khan
Obelisk, still unfinished
And the pristine temple Philae
From Edfu to Aswan ...
The High Dam to retain
The nonalignment of Lake Nasser waters
The graffiti art, portraying the long story
Of the lives of all the Pharaohs
And the temples of Sobek, Horus and Khnum
In Kom Ombo
Fascinate the eyes of anyone

Corbel vaulted said the bubbly flute
Only newbies take the ladders and chutes
Dash & stash the HatSheps suit!
Thirty three feet and a forty, on the one.

The Muse started playing to the DJ’Stone
and Jo said to Mo, please, let me cum in?
I’ll step aLong Lightly the Rivers way
aSwan is swimming in the bright of day
Two little statues sitting in the shade
Then four came too and a six was made
.
Set !n Her temple and named on her street
the woman turned saying, she likes her Scotch neat.

Dasher said the dancer is Nasher the romancer?
My mind sublime as a girl in her rhyme do know
Said a voice from the .. where did he go?
Rolls to Shadow, I’m sure I’m dreaming again…
