As Cleopatra soaked in her rose scented milk bath her maids waited patiently by the side … more like a pool for most but as the Queen she had it all.
[update] A gentle smile arose as she wondered what Anthony had planned for their date tonight … their travel was limited to a horse and chariot but as a romantic his creativity was boundless …
[yes with NO vehicles or devices,
what do you think her lover has organised?]
Initial Version:
As Cleopatra soaked in her rose scented milk bath her maids waited patiently by the side … more like a pool for most but as the Queen she had it all. She pondered why Anthony was being such a right royal pain of late, did he have another on the side, was Julius in his ear or was he snorting again?

Yes, we all have our questions, doubts, and anxieties, don’t we? But I’ll admit I have never before considered Cleopatra’s view. 😀

A superb pairing of photo and words! 🙂 A very vivid word pic you have created! And my senses are stirred! I can smell the rose scent and feel the milky milk!
In my experience, men are rarely thinking about what women think men are thinking about. If they’re thinking at all. Ha! 😉 😛 Maybe he was thinking about a good dinner, a good sporting event, and a good roll in the hay?!?!
I always hoped Cleopatra met up with Anthony again in the afterlife.
HUGS!!! 🙂
