Somewhere In Egypt

Whispering winds
    Out across the Sinai Desert
Somewhere in Egypt
    Camels marching
Beyond the pyramids
    Black lined eyes
Mocking beneath shifting veils
    I hear the voices
Calling to me
    The Depths of Darkness
          Mysteries
Here the camels travel
    Endless lines across the sands
Their little bells tinkle
    In the star studded night
Swaying dancers
    Kick the sands
From the highest dunes
    As the cruel sun rises
The camels spit and hiss
    The Egyptians come
Speaking verbal hieroglyphics
    Somehow I understand
And when he reaches out to me
    So dark - So exotic
I take the offered hand

Interesting and definitely conjures a clear image of the desert and its exotic allure. I can see the camels wondering slowly across the dunes with veiled maidens and brown-skinned men upon their backs. Cool desert nights filled with the sounds of the middle east and visions of bare stomachs swaying in rhythm.

Great piece. Creates a feel of excitement and enticement. Love the description.

Very very exotic. Sounds like someone who lost out in the desert. Love the whole feel of this poem. Almost seems to take place in a time gone by. Love it!

[Eric Cox]

Cool. Well done poem. Great job creatively. Love the feel to this. Very cool pen on this poem of Egypt and Egyptians, with you taking the hand to romance at the end.
