Mythological ruthless Cleopatra
Larger than life in 30 B.C.
Her Achilles’ heel being Mark Antony
His untimely death too much to bear
Solitarily confined in her mausoleum
Desperately recluse with her royal asp
Her only sanctioned confidente
Sole witness to her feverish distress
Through a night ever dark and bitter
Raging with unbearable emptiness
Kiss me Take me
In an embrace of death
Royal prince of the Nile
I give myself wholeheartedly
With consummate abandon
Kiss my eyes closed
Let me drift into a deep sleep
As you expedite me to my lover
Where we shall reign again
United in the afterlife

Opening night at the downtown bar ~
Aficionado of ageless apparel
Blushing barmaid beauty in blue
Captivating chatty confidente
Damsel dabbling in deception
Opulent night at the uptown ballet ~
Absurd amorous allusions
Barefoot breathless ballerina
Charismatic celestial cachet
Dubious deceitful dissonance

The first time I saw her
There she stood
Just a silhouette
Breathtaking
On top of a hill
Tall and elegant
Alone and free
Long youthful mane
Swaying ever so gracefully
To the beat of
The summer breeze
So nonchalantly waiting
For the pageant to begin
Her procession of suitors
And they did come
One after the other
Lovers taking turns
The Sun and the Moon
Coy and coquette
Never letting on
Blissfully content with
This cycle of seduction
Never feeling pressured
To pick one over the other
This went on for years
So it was natural that
Her aging neighbor
Understanding and mature
Became a confidente
As I looked on to
These two faithful friends
Almost accomplices
In this wave of deception
One friend in her prime
The other quite weathered
I wondered if
It even crossed her mind that one day
Youthful looks may give way
To the needs of building another fence.

Quiero ser el viento que toca tu cara
y acariciarte a cada momento,
deslizarme por toda tu espalda
sin dejar alguna huella sobre tu cuerpo
Quiero ser la almohada en la k reposas
y poder escuchar todos tus secretos,
convertirme en tu confidente hermosa
mientras tu me cuentas los sucesos
Quiero ser tus preciosos ojos
y ver el mundo desde tu perspectiva,
descubrir todo lo que te causa gozo
y le da proposito a tu vida
Pero mas que todo ser tu corazon
eso es lo que yo quiero ser,
llenar toda tu existencia con mi amor
y como mas ke amigos me puedas ver
