***
Anne, my darling Anne I simply
cannot wait a moment longer.
I must have you. I desire you
more than the lawns desire rain.
–
My dear Henry, what of your wife,
Catherine? I simply will not let my
love for you cloud my head with the
fact that you Henry are married;
married to the Queen.
–
Just one touch Anne, one sweet
and simple touch of you. Your
shift; let me slip beneath it if only
for a moment for I will truly die
without you.
–
Henry, your wife, the Queen, I am
her lady-in-waiting, it would not
be proper for me to…Oh Henry
that feels so…
–
Ahh…my delicious Anne, so you
desire me too. Let me fully possess
you and your wish is my command.
–
I command you then to be rid of her,
the Queen. It is for certain that the
King of England can make this so.
–
Your soft skin, so youthful…so…
–
Perhaps Cardinal Wolsey can undo
what has been done, after all she
produced no heir.
–
Yes, yes my sweet Anne you are right.
I shall speak to him at once, then you
and I will be together. I will crown you
Queen.
–
Indeed, Henry, indeed…

That Henry was a terrible guy! I’ve read many books about the time period, and I would not have wanted to live in England in those times. I compare it to the wild west in the U.S., only a lot more violent!
Love the poem! You obviously have read some of the same books as I have.

Yes I have read loads on the subject. History was my major with art history as my minor. That time period and ancient Egypt probably my two favorite.
He was a wicked man, and I believe that Anne too was a bit devilish and don’t feel too sorry for her. It is speculated that her parents, really her uncle, forced her into the arrangement to bolster the attention of the king but I don’t think she put up too much of a fuss about it!

Nicely done poetic take on this story with rhythm and rhyme. An interesting period of history indeed. Makes me curious to see the movie that was made a few years ago.
Also, thanks for reading and commenting so nicely again on my blog. I appreciate it.
