Best Nile Poems

Lily of the Nile 

O Lily of the Nile, your enchanting
purple starburst blooms
rise on naked stalks to greet

lovers on their river stroll as
nature lifts their spirits high where
setting sun and twilight meet.  

Known from ancient ardent times
as lover's finest floral gifts... 
alluring in shadowed...

As I paddled the river Nile
I met a monstrous crocodile. 
She smiled at me enticingly.   
I smiled deferentially.  
Through large white teeth to me she said, 
"I want you in my river bed." 

"We are not acquainted enough
for such intimate, tasteless stuff,"...

The Nile drifts restlessly in fresh woodland
Babbling over rocks and marbled edges…
Like a goddess in search of her old legends.

Walking aimlessly
Suddenly a star entered 
A poem happened 

What was the poem
A cascade of golden light
On her hair and neck

How lovely you look
Said golden neck,the light said,
You are lovelier

The bird in my vein 
Said to both of them, good morn
They smiled, glint on Nile

       two years would whizz past, of arduous work,
       immersing in books, away from home,
       away from her...

Sorrow
hears  the  sound of a sparow
the owl
knowing 
the lies of man though his eyes
the time of corruption
till the dawn of
the end of the sun
and his rain
so forth that
the invisible god
may remove the 
growing corruption
around the great
sea of the north
and the west moon
that rest...

North eastern whistling through papyrus banks					
Emanating  streams  are from forest Rwanda					
Collecting reserving ever controversial					
No propagating ,Lake  Victoria real natural source					
We are from the source of Nile					
					
Summer rain blessed over mount of Ethiopia					
Seasonal worship prolonging to Hapi.					
Egyptian farmers awaiting the blue silt					
Obscuring barriers...

If this dance be the last
For I see them throwing spears - 
Not for its sport
This dance, a shrilling one.
When we come home for showers
Diapers of our babies, drenched,
Such aroma; a sweet-sour tale to tell
For being ready was the dance for...
Only the dead wishes not...

From cradle to grave the sun baked
the skin leather, un-oiled
and rain did not fall
for Isis with held her tears.
From the bloody care of womb
children popped like bread from
the oven of women, the urns of life, 
earthen were their colors
ocher, saffron, and 
some as black as...

The nation naturally knows
The Nile. The river flows up to the
North  and above. The love
Through Sudan and Egypt up and on 

The way of the Nile? The
Spiritual Water. It flows. It roars.
Its banks are broad.  We in
Africa grow thankfully.  For the
Nerves of...

Agapanthus

Tall Agapanthus in the Nile you once grew,
A river flower of sapphire blue,
Bursting from your cozy pod
Smiling as you nod
On thin stems;
Hello
Summer’s gem
Blooms in warm weather,
The season’s sweet love letter,
Dainty flowers of azure or white
Grows in garden shadows or brightest sunlight.
