I hope this don't sound like I'm trying to be professional, it will probably be the only time I try writing something like this. it was fun to do.

                 lament of Anne Boleyn.

For these past years we have sometimes tirelessly fought,

  The strength of our endless love for each other was  at a huge cost was bought.

The powers that be, who would try to keep us apart, 

  For the love of the Spanish Queen, could somehow always capture their heart.

When our eagerly awaited day finally came,

   My being known by all, especially through History a permanent mark, theres my name.

 Our wedded future would be sweet, sharp and short.

  At least hated and known about your prized volatile court.

But as the few years went by.

  Our daughter Elizabeth, captured only my soul.

In your eyes the question of a boy was bearing me down into a black frightening hole.

You turned your back and love along with your kindness.

  To a quiet pale faced girl who would give you your greatest desire,

over my own beloved Bess.

I tried to make you listen. I tried to make you see.

  All you cared about was your future after you leave.

I  would not give up my station or to a convent,

  For that you would rather have seen,

Our little girl, she has the right to be a royal, most of all a Queen.

Others and me, you see fit of treasonable crimes you blame.

  As my whole world came crashing down,

only their deaths in innocence, they hold  should no shame.

My time is now near, i'll hope one day you will see.

 Your selfish ways, will haunt you and never leave you be.

As i walk to the scaffold, with as much good and grace.

  I will speak kindly of you to the good people i stand before and face.

But deep down, there will be hurt and pain.

Of what i ask to which of this truly in the name of God could you gain?


All for the sake of not giving alive born Son and ward.

  You rid of me to end my last breath with which i thank you,

An equisite french sword.

 As i take my leave, a few tears i  shed, I kneel down say a prayer

 and then the swordsman takes my  head.

What a lovely poem for Anne!  I can just picture her thinking those thoughts at the end of her life.

Wish I had half your talent for poetry!!!

Thank you kindly.I got scared after I wrote and posted it. Some how I always want to know what she truly thought about Henry in her last few days. Forgiveness? Hate. What do others think. I truly think she understood in some way what he done to her, maybe not the blame on the men accused on her behalf.
