I’m a bohemian girl
I wear my hair in curls,
I wear maxi skirts
And denim shirts.
I wear long earrings
And black stockings.
I like folk songs,
And pierced tongues.
I like Wittgenstein,
And Melanie Klein.
I had psychotherapy,
But it was given to me free.
As I am so interesting,
And so infinitely trusting.
My unconscious mind
Is an analyst’s find.
I have such wise dreams,
On intellectual themes.
I see all my lives
From new perspectives.
I was an Egyptian Queen,
Feeling extremely mean.
I loved Mark Anthony
His touch was a symphony
Written by Schubert,odd,
Because Cleopatra was long gone
When Schubert composed his songs
And his symphonies too.
So time has got all curled up,
Like a snake in a drinking cup.
Now I have woken again,
I want that dream all over again.
I want a Roman Emperor
To be a sexual tempter.
I shan’t mind at all,
If I hear him call.
I’ll be excitedly glad
When my hormones go mad.
I’m a Bohemian girl,
I’ll make any man’s hair curl

My soul looks outward from my written words,
day, night, awake, sleeping I seek my muse;
sometimes, I leave my blues and just amuse,
sending my penned words on the wings of birds.
Last night I walked the woods in a green dress,
a girl lost among trees in hues of green,
stopping to ponder beside a blue stream;
nature soothes my soul with a sweet caress _
I often find muse waiting in a dream,
and then, we find poetic words that twine
that shine and sparkle like a star- to gleam_
Oh, this gift of pen is a gift divine:
to ponder, meditate a perfect theme;
with an ending unknown I must confess !

Happy birthday, Mark Anthony,
A perfect art comes from practice;
The satisfying symphony
Of color is in the canvas.

Romeo is dead and juliet has followed
left me in tears and my heart do hollowed.
Jack has died and rose has dried
making my eyes watery
with no one to have them dried.
Paris triggered the fall of troy
stealing Helen, farest of sparta's toil
this nursed the war of trojan
inevitable, dem no fit dodge am....
Orpheus and eurydice
-it has a tragic end-
cleopatra and mark Anthony
-it has a tragic end-.
Tristan and iseult
- it has a tragic end-.
Napoleon and josephine
-it has a tragic end-.
Bonnie and clyde
-it has a tragic end-.
Even that broken hearted reading this
knew that now love always has a tragic end.

Love, you have always been the guiding force
Truly outstanding, painting colors
Your amazing beauty dazzling in every way, with your light
Words draw sweetly, one goddess rising out, from deep sands
Silently, Egyptian queens whisper in the winds
Lifting tunes, sweetly sings a loving song
What Cleopatra was to Mark Anthony
Forever, love beyond kingdoms
Always breathing, their whispers until eternity
Looking upon a gift in you love
Drinking from the chalice, cup of everlasting beauty
Blossoming one golden, crowning treasure
Petals divine, soft, regal
Within your voice, chant sweet music of an angel
Kissing inside, happiness begins glowing
In a state of your grace
Joy beaming, pearly-white smiles
Touching your rays warmly
Within an abundance of sunshine
Opening up this heart and soul
Wishing in love’s purity
That I could travel back in time
Loving, getting to know you
Falling asleep, deeply, warmly, in the night
Holding our dreams, loving you

Casting my net
love over centuries
storms across
the sands
Blowing deeply
inside deeper
than the skeleton
i speak
out from
my soul
In an arid desert
blinding oasis
echoing beauty
Blowing whispers
whistling beats
floating your words
just keep
bringing sunshine
into my life
it amazes me
with your honey
sweet speaking bees
golden honey coated
laughs out lights
upon the face
as my heart
shines out
Trying
to dazzle
you with good
tasting sweet vibes
your beauty
in my eyes
sparkling bursts
Only a lion
roaring in
the jungle
of his life
through the eyes
of centuries
I am hot
on your tail
sparkling stars
from the pyramids
I want
to be your
Mark Anthony
as you honey
go back
in time
Grasping out
into the ages
to Helen
of Troy
her beauty
was beyond compare
so the legend
has it
Launched one
thousand ships
the might and force
of an empire
so powerful
a feeling
Great empires
could fall
when a man
is head
over heels
truly loves
a woman

Nile stretches like serpent from abyss
Because it nourishes the desert it reflects universal bliss
On its shores Cleopatra gave Mark Anthony a kiss
Where she turned a ruler from a princess
That is where the ancient Sphinx whispers riddles of old
Whoever answers them will have more than just gold
This is where God Amun Ra looks down on earth when day is about to unfold
This is where ancient pyramids only surviving ancient wonder are precisely it to behold
The pyramids are a tomb
But this is no place of just death this is a womb
This is no place of gloom
This is place where glory of Pharaohs soul will bloom
For his soul will not simply disperse
But be one with Amun Ra secret and sacred universe
Where with very God pharaoh can converse
And in the eternal light and perhaps ultimate good submerse
This is the culture distant and unique
Having great offering to those who knowledge seek
This culture rose when closeness of suns’ binary star was at its peak
Ancient but advanced pyramid was stepping stone to essence of soul force of which divine winds speak
