THE LAND OF MYSTERIES

The land of sand
Blows past the grip of the small hand
The unknown facts and mystery
Engulfing the cloud of history
Monuments that date way back
Like giant heaps on the memories track
The jewelleries of Cleopatra
Stand like a crown on Africa.

The waters kiss the shore of Nile
Pharaohs walk upon protecting the aisle
The tombs are the most magnificent
Golden seems to be the only paint
Standing proudly are the giant pyramids
The wonder world of the adult and the kids
The rooms designed with diamonds and gold
The myth of afterlife never gets old.

Generations of precious tombs
Stuffed with cloth,food and combs
Hidden away from the robber
Amidst the Valley of Kings too far
The mommy is a way to the curse
A tool to frighten the mass
Rising from the dead seems no fun
How Tut died knows none.

One however remains spared
For Tutankhamun each one cared
The last pharaoh to be left alone
Sometimes missing organs sometimes a bone;
A name that shines is of Carter
Curious expeditions knows no bar
A question rises not to often
How old is Sphinx wrote no pen.

Mummies with their mouth agape
Adding scariness to the shape
Nefertiti casts a shadow on the cloud of doom
As she disappears like a witch on her broom

The Great pyramid of Giza rings a bell
The tales find it hard to tell
The carvings on the sarcophagus
The number of chambers adding to the fuss.

Mysteries of sand and Nile
A quest stretches over a hundred mile
The lost kingdom of Yam
Lost in the sands beyond the dam
Khufu and Hetepheres raise doubts
The royal blood line hiding abouts
Mommies play hide and seek
Real life stories or imagination's peek?

SHOES

Walking across the Brooke We admire all around but fail to look What would happen if they barefooted you Bleeding from the rough stones,you would hardly have any clue Just like we rarely see what parents do Always acting like a shield and behaving like a shoe. A shoe is useless without its sole And so is a human being without his soul The physical body is just a broken shoe Only the mind can decide what it can do; A pair of shoes is a great resource But a single one,worthless even with herculean force So is the society,so are we Who wins is always 'us' and not the 'me'. Ever noticed the shoelaces That you tie in a load of paces One loose one tight just a perfect balance So like your traits to build the proper performance All day long you work so hard And so do your shoes without saying a word Still they prefer to be on the ground Being so humble till success is found No matter what they are never proud Never like your mouth,so loud. The...

Break

Take a break and look around The world keeps running or trying to settle down, A pinch of happiness seems hard to be found . I know its getting dark stars shoot by Strings of guitar brushing past your soul, Its has been now hours catching up with the lie. So close to feeling what ya never felt Can't say different as history repeats, So close to seeing that ya never dealt. Take a break, live in the moment now Little conversations stuck in coffee breaks, Bake a cake or just make a dough. All along walking through the woods A little yellow leaf peeking at me, All along singing past the trail in my hood. Running back home with sunshine chasing Shadows smiling on the autumn floor, Taking along the sweet memories so amazing. Sometimes just need to let it all go Eyes lit up at the sound of ding dong, Sometimes let's try not to feel so low. Freshen up all those crazy midnights A ray of hope even in dark alleyways, Party all night and twist in dim light...

Through the Shadows

I wish it was a bit more fun Why are we always on the run? Working through the day and night Fight until we see the light Wish you would tell me your plan 'Coz it's no longer according to mine I still strive to be your best fan A little bit more of you to shine It all feels like a never ending mess All remnants of a frustrated case Maybe you're leading me through the maze I feel a little doubtful in the chase. But you're always there hidden from sight Faith is so blind, lemme close my eyes Leading me through shadows and light You're the only truth in my world of lies. Disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people Don't hunt for food anymore, its now the hunt for success that's for sale You know it this time I wasn't even cheating You saw how I gave my all How many more heart breaks greeting How many more times do you wanna see me fall? I still believe in you and only you Sometimes it's just way too dark Could it not be a bit more easy too? Doe...
