Jackie thanks a lot, i actually lied in Egypt for over a decade

Keeper Of The Flame

Miles and miles, twists and turns

Mazes forever, bridges burned.

Intense heat, ashes and dust,

Forever moving, gold’s lust.

A quest foretold, many tried,

None had conquered, many died.

Keeper of the flame, guarded well,

Fiery eyes send you to hell.

Teeth razor sharp, ripping shreds,

Home he is with the living dead.

Skulls of thousands, walls they line,

Snakes encircle as if poison vines.

And still another soul left behind,

The gold awaits another time.

Who so ever be really brave?

Can you take it or meet your grave?

Enter inside the Pharohs lost soul,

Gathered in tombs their blood long since cold.

Mummy's they are called wrapped in cloth of white

Laid to rest with their posessions hidden in pyramids from sight.

A house of bricks, three sides on the floor

An opening outside, no wooden door

Inside tunnels hide themselves and their treasures

Keeping their secrets in great measure

If you can read hieroglyphics you may be in with a shot

Of uncovering a tomb fit for a Pharaoh or a Golden Pot

Mystery surrounds the Pyramids, of course

Don't get too close, myth states there lies a dangerous force

If you awaken King Tut you may be the victim of a curse

Bad luck may befall and you may end up going home in a hearse

Hamza - what a fabulous write, i could picture Egypt

Ancient Egypt has a hold on this place

On its inhabitants, on it's grace

Its a characature of what once was

Untouched perfection like the wings of doves

Majestic it stands proud as it's builders once did

Greatness birthed the Egyptian pyramid

Fit for a God

Quadrilateral based structures

four sides triangular leaning in

Each stone block estimated at 2.5 to 15 tons

around 2.3 million in one

Over 118 pyramids now discovered standing

in Egypt on Giza plateau

stretching down the Nile valley

at the edge of the Sahara desert

These include Cheops Cheprio Mycerinus and Sphinx

surrounded by magnificent monuments palaces and temples

Initiated by Khufu around 2550 B.C.

built fit for supremacy

Pharaohs and Queens expected to become Gods in afterlife

so they were embalmed and entombed

as mummys in preparation for the world

with all they may need to keep themselves there

Egypt

and i miss the Nile the scent of dark soil fisher men in solitude the birds' songs the lovers' cries the dogs' barks the sound of crushing of old leaves on the side walk the warm hearts the frustrated smile of people hoping for a better tomorrow the bean street food carts gathering the rich and poor the cheep beer the dizziness the good company the whining at the end of the day the 100 years old trees still standing the stillness of old people in balconies watching time passing them by the spinix standing tall the pyramids fighting senility me fighting time and boredom and i miss the rain the lonely winter nights by the fire place and my books my poetry and you your smile at me your laughs calming the storms unforgotten forgiven
