I had to pick a form that starts with “I”
'cause Isis has come home to live with me.
It's not so much for me to wonder why
as just accept the way things want to be....

A funny little observation
from my garden
the Indian Myna birds
Walk Like An Egyptian
as they
bob and strut
like a Pharaoh
have the look
down pat
even to the Cleopatra eyes....

The Nile was serene
    its riverbank green
  Cleopatra the Queen
    supervised poverty obscene

  Ancient Egypt's glory?
    'twas short, brutish and mean
  for builders of pyramids
    worn out at eighteen...

Kiss you like a flower
Hold you like the world
Love you like no tomorrow
If you be my Queen of the Nile
Rich brown caramel skin
Hair glows like fire in the wind
You and I shall rule the world
Lord, send thee a Cleopatra woman...

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

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....

Wrap me in a rug Cleopatra said.
Take me to Caesar or I’ll have your head.
Sneaked her past the army with lots of dread.
Just so she could share Julius Caesar’s bed.
And did she pay us any kind of token or bread?
I guess it’s okay as they eventually wed....

Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile
                                                Lived and reigned Egypt style.
                                         Her kingdom wrenched from her grasp,
                                                She took her life with an asp....

Cleopatra bent her head in shame 
for she was bound in chains!
For having laid with twenty men
and cast them away like broken pens!
Here she wept in her granite cell
waiting for her deathly bells.
They let in only worshipping women
to give her a good ole' whipping!...

Almond promises
round oval drops
dripping song to fall
in neon light

His stares of hope
conflate when she comes
your everyday Cleopatra
cascades lofty

Acorn kisses
hanker sweet footsteps to be
on time  
mystique on the commonest day
burrowed deep in the recesses...

You pose for me from time to time
   I sketch you with my words.
   Perfect curves angles and shadows.  
   Sun frames hair in a halo;
   cheekbones of a movie queen;
   Cleopatra smile of yours
   brings me to my knees.
   You stop time.
   I see forever
   in your eyes....

Bad news

Infects the teller..

The teller

Conveys news which

Is believed to have

Arisen in a fictitious

Past time..news

In the telling 

Colored with belief

Is what is happening

And not...

I consulted with your everyday Cleopatra
they said it wasn't there
Ike and Tina argued anyway
saying it is not fair
I bombed Croatia's Library creativity
on a Stuka'

I dreamed Patagonia was healthy
in the spring
I saw a picture  on the wall
but it doesn't bother me at all
Can we say Amen , anymore ?

‘Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears: I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.’
(Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2)


Antony was happy to bury Julius~ Cleopatra was now his
All of those ears~ must have been a lot of odd looking Romans
My question is~ would Antony give them all back?

Needy Needy Needy is simply what you are.
Needy Needy Needy is my Cleopatra superstar.
Needy Needy Needy, always at my feet.
Needy Needy Needy is my baby girl, aka kitty.
She truly doesn't need very much really,
just some food, water and shelter to sleep,
but it appears that what it is that she needs mostly
is my constant company apparently....

Cleo and Liz Taylor were known as beauteous queens...
bathed bodies in milk to entice men on-and- off screens
Caesar, Mark and Richard B. fought for these rare roses
… truth is, them dames had pimply chins and pointed noses

She, Queen of Egypt, he, Ceasar of Rome,
Together, their lands united a sea,
Their fusion less capitol, more a home,
A son born to them, though rule, not to be,
Yet, her debut in Rome breathed an epic,
Whilst there, Brutus and his clan, did tragic,
End murdered, Gaius Julius Caesar,
Self-death, Cleopatra Philopator.

OFFERING OF PANSY

Plucked at peak season, her blossom’s open -
Cleo, short for Cleopatra – brunette.

Her bloomer’s heart, displayed, shows she’s hope’n.
Hands him a pink pansy – eyes haven’t met.

Whistling inside, collar tight, he’s grope’n,
With fright.  Cleo’s bold and brash, wide open!
