cleopatra

you are a cleopatra, my friend

and you wouldn't deny it

i can see it as i rub your legs

and you look

with smiling lips.

in the wake of your eyes

i become benevolent

desirous of fulfilling your

every want-filled wish

so ask,

dear cleopatra, ask.

and i will

be your servant until

the end of days.
