Terence Murphy Poems
I have always loved you said Apolodorous the slave
And I have always known, Queen Cleopatra replied
At their end as the fatal Roman army's approached
She would have shocked us now as a proper object of mad desire
...
In the early hours I make my visit to lift her from slumber
Two reasonable people long run past youth's sanctioned madness
Where would we two meet but in the middle of our geographic
Inconvenient, distance, where surrounded by Atlantic grey,
...
Hugh The rock singer's father introduced
Us all to the multiverse and his many worlds
So I sit patiently form filling to apply for my visa
To that other, from infinite choices vacationing
...
The newest i-gadgets can they tell us
Spy on hearts and read our mood
Leaving me nostalgic for wind up wristwatch
Which can't show love or fear or loss
...
The Best Poem Of Terence Murphy
Cleopatra The Matron
I have always loved you said Apolodorous the slave
And I have always known, Queen Cleopatra replied
At their end as the fatal Roman army's approached
She would have shocked us now as a proper object of mad desire
No long legged swimsuit model as the handmaidens surrounding her,
Bought for their beauty, but a respectable Roman matron
Who children and years had made more herself
Caesar and mad Anthony had decided she should pause being a woman
To become a goddess bathed in asses milk
But freed by approaching legions to open his lips then
At the end of all rules of propriety
The Greek could have snatched the kisses long desired
But made the simpler choice whose truth still murmurs
Quietly between only them as lovers truths should,
That he had always loved her, that she had always known.
