For I'm the roman emperor
I have conquered this land as far as the eye can see
Dominating ruler and lover
My lust and passion stirs the god within me
There is one man I'm pulled to like a magnet
Hot as mount vesuvius's ash
We are lovers
Cupids arrow struck like a flash
For all this bravado
Our touches are tender and sweet
He looks more golden than Apollo
As he lies next to me, then embrace
Gazing eyes, sultry heat
My passion towards him makes me strong
My passion towards him makes me proud
Nothing in this land can truly show my feelings fully
For I need a statement of our love uninhibited and loud
Statues,
Statues of my lover and me entwined
Marble carvings standing proudly across the empire for all to see
To show everyone these feelings are true
Thus, echoing throughout eternity
