Liz

She moved like a powerful jungle cat
With violet eyes and coifed raven hair
Her ruby lips matching her silken hat
Fleeting the breathless hoards without a care

Flowing taffeta and stunning diamond
She ruled the crimson Hollywood carpet
Perfect skin of beautifully tanned almond
Luscious figure men could never forget

Oscars lined her marble fireplace mantle
No man could quench her passionate bonfire
Nor Caesar or Antony could handle
Her grand legend will forever inspire 

The most beautiful woman on the globe
She will always bear Cleopatra’s robe


Dedicate to Elizabeth Taylor
