for my marc antony

cleopatra

we share a sacred concord

your perfumed barge

arrived along the river bank

today

your trunks

holy things

and

being

are here on display

i always wondered why

you gave up your kingdom

body

and

soul

for him

then i consider

this was a man who in all ways

outshone caesar

but it was you he conquered

my queen

oh understand, i do

he gave you

philadelphus

brotherly love

twins

helios and selene

the sun and the moon

he made love to you like

he had never been with another

how you must have loved to

dance for him

undulate upon his armor

lose yourself  in his empire

no, dear, i forgive you your asp

you couldnt live on without him

you, daughter of a son god

mistress of  sedge and bee

were

reduced

to

a mere mortal

when

you laid eyes

upon

his everything

no one else

would

ever

do

i

am

tempted

to

try

on

your

crown

for

my

unforgettable

king
