The Lost Princess

The Lost Princess I felt his susurrus Under my feet The world as I had known it before Is nullified Stranger still is This feeling of not being quite mortified Mortem does mean death in my language Yet the poisonous river Is the death personified I am the lost princess of the Romans- Forgotten is the most accurate description My crime was foreseeing the future In the water A soothsayer And this was before the witches Were burnt at the stakes I warned my father the great Caesar That... That... His predatoriness will have a price so dear...he will pay for his life His empire will be annihilated He called me a whore And drowned me in the poison green river. He paid the price high. He paid for his greed with his life.
