Long Ramses Poems

On stage so deep in heart of sand;
Farthest from world of deep dismay
At night in day thy Housefull show
Since centuries therest on display

O Ramses speak from deeps of sand! 
Wherest thou liveth for thousand years?
Farthest...

I have seen the formation
Of ancient lands
I have seen the creation
Of ancient hands

Pyramids
That soar to the sky
Here amid
Temples majestic and high

I have seen
Wonderful things
Tombs and scenes
Of ancient kings

I have seen huge blocks of stone
Cut by...

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And...

The Scene: 
An explosion! 
From those picking.. limbs tear
cabbages and cucumbers  
combing children's hair
mixing with the backseat 
of a zealot's Mercedes Benz
the gunpowder,  smells of lamb, 
and cotton, all blend 
into a bitter,...

The lipstick was preying, weight lift also praying,
The black widow spider, spun her web of desire,
Weakness met the...

A goldfish has a memory of about three seconds
Very much like senior citizens I'd say
They're often seen aimlessly walking the streets
Wearing their dear wife's negligee

A sneeze has been recorded at travelling over
One hundred forty feet...

Should the demons thank me for this bounty of courage and livers? 
Achilles and Alexander who were brought down by a

Very much like senior citizens I'd say
They're often seen aimlessly walking the streets

I look at my brother and what do I see?
I see big cheeks and a jolly smile
Innocence and curiosity tammed and wild
I see a strong man to be
one that could rewrite all the books of...

I wonder if I'm crazy,
It seems as though I am
I'm puzzled by so many things
Like what makes grape jelly
different from grape jam?

Or how anyone could have such low self-esteem,
To let their dumb commercials run
Are we...

on the darkest sky. 
Your light is coming to me 
throught abrest of times 
and cold distances, 
measured by milleniums 
of light years travell. 
Yes, what is have seen right now

HOAR     FROST



Multi-fingered trees drowned in the mist
Mist like the cold hand of death coming to Ramses
Last night’s mist  -  purifying spirit
Enveloping all in the frost


Like a well-tended graveyard
Dead, silent,...

that almost hides the face behind it.

TRYING TO REVISE FOR ANCIENT HISTORY EXAM

What if Darius had beaten Alexander?
The outcome would have been a mystery
Such supposing makes me wonder
About the blank unwritten pages of history

Scan the book and each dog-eared leaf

At the rise of the sun-
I saw a flower stretch long,
Her vein glows,
And her barge of charms violently grows.

Shiny is the face
That allures Antony to its rays.
For her juicy nectar,
Pests gather.
	
In the community of her...

From the far-flung reaches of the Sahel,
Where the sun kisses the earth and sets,
The land of Zulu, Opobo, Musa, and Mandela,
Home to Cleopatra and Ramses,

I bathe in the dunes of the Sahara,
Walking the path of...

While the moon shines bright o’er the Sphinx
In a land of sand so far
A pharaoh holds his dying son 
While praying to a star

He challenged the word presented him
His feelings never bent
Upon him then a...
