- the Fabulous Queen of Egypt -

Woke up to a new life in Egypt I was young not more than seventeen years Adorned with gold and precious stones My body was in the shroud of silk and jewels in my hair I sat on a throne as a Queen My name was Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile During the day I lay on the silk cushions and dozed in the shade of palm trees Beautiful men and women kept flitting around me with all sorts of temptations Fed me all sorts of fruit and cold drinks When evening came, it was time for romance As Queen I had many to choose My choice was of course: "The greatest men of Rome" Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius Why choose one when I can have two? On a long journey down the Nile with my love Julius Caesar, I was forced to make a choice. But a choice one must take...and the choice was that I gave birth to a son and Julius Caesar was the father My love life was not popular my husband was killed and I was no longer popular It was no longer a life of happiness and joy No, it was war and national mouming and I would not live anymore 18.03.2012 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
