BEWITCHED BY THE NILE... (My new poem about being aboard a vessel on the River Nile, whilst Kenny G's music played...)

 Bewitched By the Nile… 



The sounds seeped from somewhere,

Across the Nile, just backing music for a backdrop

Of sandstone peaks and small ancient tombs, and then beyond

To the Valley of the Kings and its delectation of treasures and souls… 


The mellow sax haunted from somewhere

Nearby on the Nile, taunting the imagination, a sop

To legend and curse and an historical bond

To the mythical Egyptian gods and their symbolic, mystical roles…

November 2025…


Strange vibes of Kenny Gs music playing as I looked across from a River Nile vessel towards the West Bank…
