The Double Suicide Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Cleopatra:
It took but one fleeting moment
and love glistened in your eyes;
with gentle allure you wooed me
and calmed me with lullabies.
A duet we sang together
do you recall the theme of love?
paternal and maternal
life's glory we were dreaming of.

Farewell my love, we are doomed.
Why is it all ending like this?
Not even a goodbye kiss.

Mark Antony:
I remember that fleeting moment
when my soul was hypnotized;
I fell in love with your beauty
and your singing made me cry.
Life was joyful, happy forever
you wore a shining wedding ring
paternal and maternal,
three sons were our everything.

Farewell my love, we are doomed.
Why is it all ending like this?
Not even a goodbye kiss.
