Cleopatra and Anthony

My love Anthony is like Egypt’s love of freedom Like the Eagle’s love of blue sky Powerful and strong, it binds me to you My love Cleo is like a blossoming rose Like that first ray of sun Sweet and tender, it protects you forever My love Anthony will wreck and perish The enemy is sure to bow low The lion’s roar will not be heard My love Cleo, will cement and cherish The tender nation’s core The dove will fly again Come my love let us stand together And see the blaze in the sky As King and Queen stare at their realm Come my love let us stand together And feel God’s grace from above As worshippers stare at the stars 14/3/13

Oh my, Tahera..This is exquisite and elegant with a great sense of history as well...Makes me wonder what it would be like to travel back in time and actually meet these two lovers...almost too much to comprehend..
