Cleopatra 1917

[heslopian]

A dark and ancient world presented in fragments.
You stare, transfixed, as shadows on hieroglyphs suggest infinite lostness;
a woman moves through sensuality like a great pianist,
swaying her hips, slowly, soft and gentle tree, her dress a magic dew,
Something barbaric, but simple, something you never knew.

Hi
Thanks for the clip and the read. i think you have done a great job of translating this short clip into text.
moves through sensuality like a great pianist,
.... her dress a magic dew, Beautiful.
I think the thing that really caught me as well was the expression on her face. She was achomplished in the art of seduction through the lense. The parted lips, the flash of eye and the wicked twinkle. Naughty girl!

Thanks for sharing. AJ.

Thank you for your kind feedback, cidermaid I was thinking of subtitling this poem "Cleopatra, Comin' At Ya'" and adding a link to the song
