THE LOST PRINCESS

I felt his susurrus

Under my feet

The world as I had known it before

Is nullified

Stranger still is 

This feeling of not being quite mortified

Mortem does mean death in my language

Yet the poisonous river

Is the death personified

I am the lost princess of the Romans-

Forgotten is the most accurate description

My crime was foreseeing the future

In the water

A soothsayer

And this was before the witches

Were burnt at the stakes

I warned my father the great Caesar

That... That... His predatoriness will have a price so dear...he will pay for his life

His empire will be annihilated

He called me a whore

And drowned me in the poison green river. 

He paid the price high. 

He paid for his greed with his life
