Cleopatra

Cleopatra
112909

You’re the beauty men ever saw.
Stood out from the desert’s hidden foes
You captured the hearts of those bravest men.
And crumpled them with unbailable shame

You had the power many envied
But nothing compares to the love you bid.
For you, dear maiden only true love rules
Beyond wealth, beyond power, the greatest fool!

They may never know how much you gave.
To save the kingdom on hands at stake
Without tears you’re blinded by the desert’s sun
Left broken by the love that had been gone.

Oh Lady! There’s sadness in your eyes.
Your heart bleeds yet your beauty smiles.
Uttering the name, the love, yet you never cry.
And on the cursed jar, you drank the serpent’s lies.
