Stolen Security
GOLDEN MASK - Credit: Wikipedia |
nightmare tossing,
dark traps sprung,
death tonnes of pyramid granite
fell on tunnelling robbers.
I silently laughed
but they relentlessly came
for my riches.
I am
Mighty Pharaoh
Army surrounding,
protecting me,
Servants entombed alongside
ready for my royal decree.
As robbers break
last barriers
I command;
Disconnected
Failed
None responds
My wealth plundered with
pitch tar torches
and scrabbling fingers,
Even my face
lifted in triumph
Gone...
Stolen security.
Dreams now
wrapped
dry warmth again,
Sensing walls once more
Prying touching fingers,
Unknown words
painted on walls around,
crude, not like the picture words
that gracefully adorn my bandages,
A tomb solid
but disgracefully invisible
like an empty soul window,
They tap on my walls
but so close to touching me
they turn back.
I laugh,
The God's smile.
I am stolen
yet slumber in hushed security.
Hi Mr Grieve
ReplyDeleteI liked the part of your poem when it said As robbers break
last barriers
I command;
Disconnected
Failed
None responds
My wealth plundered with
pitch tar torches
because it really described how you lost all your gold and money
