Poem submission by Simone Inez Harriman

[Simone Harriman]

This poem is unpublished.

A Royal Flush

Door slams on your side of the fault line.

All self-control has abdicated.

Having visited perfumed gardens

delta vintage lingers on your lips. 

An emotional quake delivers

seismic waves of jealousy.

My mind slips through tectonic plates 

and escapes into the belly of the Nile,

Serenely drifting and remembering, 

opulence and decadence. 

Inside an Amarna vortex,

walls of gold and tiles of silver,

I am Queen of two lands,

a bridge between Aten and citizens.

Privileged and overindulged, upper and lower,

my ego is massaged with warm metopion oil.

Rebirthed and resurrected; naked and art worthy 

I am reflected in your almond eyes

Beauty in sheer linen adorned with gold

Crowned blue between pillars beneath stars

Powerful beyond measure

Sun guru, my chariot and horses at rest.

Enemies decorate my throne.

My flutes and felucca float off down the Nile. 

The sun disc has dimmed

and a cobra rears over my brow 

A cell notification recalls me through time

Begone, honey roasted gazelle,

exotic dancers, and platters of grapes

You have returned to  fulfil karmic connections, 

with gifts, reassurances and obeisances,

and I shall receive you intoxicated and gracious in my Nubian wig 

Simone Inez Harriman

[Angel Firegenie]

Dear Fabrizio,

Could I please correct one error in my poem in the 3rd verse, 5th line.​ The word overindulged to pampered.

Inside an Amarna vortex,

walls of gold and tiles of silver,

I am Queen of two lands,

a bridge between Aten and citizens.

Privileged and pampered, upper and lower,

my ego is massaged with warm metopion oil.

Rebirthed and resurrected; naked and art worthy

Very much appreciated

Simone :)
