Remember the time
Egyptian gods
Lived upon the Nile
Bees wax cones
Scented the night
Til dawn
Remember the times
Before ours
Ancient.
Unforgettable.

Thank you Ninot for your beautiful poem. Nostalgic and sad as it is for me.
Thank you Aishah. It actually pains me to hear the sadness in your words.

ReplyDeleteIt must be so much easier to dab on some cologne than to wear a scented cone on your head! But the past is worth remembering.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice. Perfect encore!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet poem indeed. I love Egyptian passion. I remember that video well. I'm not strictly a Jacko fan but I liked Iman in the video. Neck like a swan she has!
ReplyDeleteSweet, nostalgic. I like this.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I love reading about ancient times and cultures...but mostly am amazed by wisdom at the root of most things.
