Through warm scented mists 

her pert shape silhouetted

a hunger lures I

like an asp, I taste the air

approaching lavender gems

Two boys in a field
Just passing the afternoon
Idle words spoken
Aware of the song of bees
The future only a dream

Charmion's hand trembles
The snake is enticed to kill
Ptolemaic queen;
Asp slithers down her body
And in deep embrace they sleep.

Watch out for betrayers, the knowing handmaiden said.
Cleopatra took the apple, not realizing she would soon be dead.
The asp was hidden well, same color green as the apple’s stem.
The handmaiden was tossed into the tomb, her fate totally grim....

Put me to sleep in ice again
Sounds travel well
Through anything but the cold
Relationship mined with pain
The world in silence is swell
I cannot hear the chill between
The asp stinging thought told
I'm frost bitten in 
Or bells all callous toll.the green

To not appease the critics,
success within our grasp

The charlatans of written words,
venom of the asp

They bury deep inside their dens,
ordained iconoclasts

Passing judgment, casting blame
—on what they fear might last

(To T.R.’s ‘Man In The Arena’ March, 2021)...

could have had Caesar or Anthony as a co-regent,
but rather than putting such power in either man's clasp,
she put leadership decisions in the grasp of an asp.
