Wide-eyed, hopeless, there he staggers

In his back a dozen daggers

Dying, toga turning red

Hold This

Caesar to Brutus (in strife):
“I fear you’ve taken my Life …”
-	I thought you meant
-	It would be lent,
When you said: “Here … hold my knife”

True love will always make one cry
For like all else, it soon must fly
From serf to King
True love takes wing
When Caesar sees her seizure sigh

As whacked his old man in the Cap.
The senators there,
They’d stab or they’d stare,
With all other business a wrap.

Friends

Caesar, of course, could not dismiss,
"Greet one another with a kiss!"
But, "I've got your back!"
Proved Brutus' attack
Was the one that just could not miss!

Young Cleo had Caesar in her grasp.
So they stabbed him and said with a rasp.
You’ve disgraced us all.
It’s time for your fall.
And your girl can stick it up her Asp.

C-lear blue sky shows up, 
C-alm wide ocean brings silence 
T-o the horizon.

A force of nature

Rome, Rome in the range
      Where Caesar and Brutus were slain

    Where whispers were heard
      Conspiratorial words
    
    And the nights were so bloody

Used to pluck his fine hairs with a tweezer --

Happy birthday, Brother Caesar, 
Let me send you these lines I ink; 
This piece truly shines like a star, 
Allowing every mind to think.

Month Nine

MONTH NINE

September was month seven in the early Roman calendar
But was ninth after two more months that Julius Caesar added
Starting school is timely to understand and reconcile the name

Beware the Ides of March

Threat? "Julius, cool your jets."
an ides of March overdraft.
The day to settle one’s debts -
when sixty "friends" gave Caesar the shaft.
