You see the world hanging there

Chinese silks
Waving amongst your underwear

The heart left untouched,
Untainted,

Wrapped in cheesecloth.

Egyptian Musk

Egyptian musk is an oil
From the ancient days
It's alluring smell
Seems to entice the person
Who smells it, even though
Most people wear it well
Each have a different aroma

Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --

Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow

Cleopatra Eyes

A funny little observation
from my garden
the Indian Myna birds
Walk Like An Egyptian
as they
bob and strut
like a Pharaoh
have the look
down pat
even to the Cleopatra eyes.

With just a simple angelic

To most of us,
the Sun is a glowing ball
in the sky, giving us warmth

for its presence never faded
throughout the seasons....

Middle age mountains

Blue frigid fountains

Their horses made of moonlight

Adventuring in a long trek

Dearly beloved 
Holding the hands

sometimes I am a cigarette burning into your/my skin
sometimes I am a corpse rotting into your/my dark
sometimes I am invisible

often this is a noiseless void
often this a soundless numbing
often I am wrong

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.

We're Lazy and exhausted

To get rich, the other two brothers

And get fortune like tanyan
