Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Gods of Egypt and Rome

passion and grapes
elixir of lots
     life mingled
     with venom

     power and youth
brush fire fingers

     flickering
          burning
               yearning

    caesarean coins
weigh down the neck

of the divine
so called
basket of snakes

Chris Green January 16, 2017 at 12:19 PM This was very cool Kim. Kind of like finding a book that hasn't been open in a hundred year and perusing the pages. Kim Rodrigues January 16, 2017 at 12:20 PM Thank you, Chris! We just watched Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor.
