Drusus Poems | Examples

Yolanda of Rome

i stood over looking 
the general view 
of the bath of caracalla 
evading sudatorium seduction
the church of st. cesarea 
in palatio captured my thoughts
rather quickly i entered 
sarcphagus of lucius scipio barbatus 
dazed i was gently lifted 
hovering above columbarium 
of villa codini ah my human sufferage 
unleashed near the arch of drusus 
i found myself kneeling
beyond the gate of st. sebastian 
how i'd remembered 
the findings of the church 
of domine quo vadis
welcoming of monks settled 
deeply within catacombs 
of st. callistus the fine 
chapel of cornelius 
the bishop winks at the sight 
of cecilia's remains hisses of trickery 
a covenant maderno's manner 
lessons and arrows embedded
amids sebastians sculpture 
ravished by greif
for giorgetti's finali catacombs 
and tombs surrounding 
my morbid energy force 
abruptly backing right into 
circus of mexentius shouting
metella metella open 
the appian way
seneca's revealed 
the tower of selce in ruins
