Cleopatra Poems

Oh, silver tree!
Oh, shining rivers of the soul!

In a Harlem cabaret
...

She stands as pale as Parian statues stand;
Like Cleopatra when she turned at bay,
And felt her strength above the Roman sway,
And felt the aspic writhing in her hand.
...

The Oak of Lancashire emits color
Of your hair, light as Tulips on Titicaca Lake
Brown as chestnut of Hunstanton
Silken as Tianjin silk
...

The Alexandrians were gathered
to see Cleopatra's children,
Caesarion, and his little brothers,
Alexander and Ptolemy, whom for the first
...

I am the lover's eyes, and the spirit's
Wine, and the heart's nourishment.
I am a rose. My heart opens at dawn and
The virgin kisses me and places me
...

Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea,
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands.
Ah! longer, longer, we.
...

Under the mask of gold,
I see only venomous snakes
Poisoning her name forever.
...

Tajmahal
(My Cleopatra)

Citadel of love is empty,
...

AS when the hunt by holt and field
Drives on with horn and strife,
Hunger of hopeless things pursues
Our spirits throughout life.
...

Although great Queen, thou now in silence lie,
Yet thy loud Herald Fame, doth to the sky
Thy wondrous worth proclaim, in every clime,
And so has vow'd, whilst there is world or time.
So great's thy glory, and thine excellence,
...

I. (Bread and Music)

Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread;
...

And what is love? It is a doll dress'd up
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
That silly youth doth think to make itself
...

You are a friend then, as I make it out,
Of our man Shakespeare, who alone of us
Will put an ass’s head in Fairyland
As he would add a shilling to more shillings,
...

Welcome joy, and welcome sorrow,
Lethe's weed and Hermes' feather;
Come to-day, and come to-morrow,
I do love you both together!
...

I.
I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs;
A palace and a prison on each hand:
I saw from out the wave her structures rise
...

I thought of EvE, when ADAM trusted her
They were both banished, became so unpure
But they have made it, and mankind began
You and me here we are, we owe them one.
...

'O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea,
Our thoughts as boundless, and our soul's as free
Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam,
Survey our empire, and behold our home!
...

If Anthony hadn't loved
Cleopatra
in that last second,
maybe he would have
...

After a fine mild rain,
I walked on the pavements,
Of a garden of flowers,
Aftershocks of showers,
...

HER mouth is fragrant as a vine,
A vine with birds in all its boughs;
Serpent and scarab for a sign
Between the beauty of her brows
...

Cleopatra
She was my Cleopatra
My queen upon the Nile
Perfume from her golden curls
...

I seized her beautiful embellishments:
Which embraced my heart wel
I was resigned from my dreams for
Digest her beauty.
...

1(Brood en Muziek)
Samen met jou oversteeg muziek muziek,
Het brood dat we braken was meer dan brood;
Nu ben ik alleen, zonder jou, alles desolaat;
...

I sometimes daydream of trauma. Trauma that never happened to me but to women that bared the image of me.
A stronger braver woman who overcame and conquered and ruled in her own little world. A wiser woman who learnt from her mistakes and got back up again.
A bolder woman more eye capturing than what I imagined Cleopatra herself would be
Will I ever be these women? Better
...

Love …, somethin' could be going with the wind
Love …, will be never ending
But what's art of love?
I my self is feelin' full of love
...

In constellation Eridanus or
the River, a stunning nebula lies
of brilliant turquoise with bright stellar core
resembling one orb of a pair of eyes.
...

Blonde or black hair one day turns grey
that is nature's perfect peroxide wait for the day
Lady's body is laboratory for physics and chemistry nowadays
With the array of organic oxide on their side
...

Cleopatra's beauty may have been unique,
but 'Cleopatra' certainly wasn't:
it means 'father's glory', 'dad's fame' -
many couples gave their child that name.
...

They were the dazzling beauties of the world
- - the Helen and Cleopatra
When they bowed their eyebrows differently kings and kingdom moved
- -and earth turned into bloody battle field
...
