More from ~Comtessedelalune

SleepShe's gone
Alone, forgotten, bereaved
You have your golden world
                     But it did not last

He's still
Bloody, small, lifeless
Miscarried of your savior
                     It will end soon

He's angry
Passionate, selfish, uncaring
Your heart once ached for him
                     As his did for you

She smiles
Subtle, quiet, waiting
You threatened her
                     But she takes your place

Eyes closed
Weary, exhausted and used
Death will rock you to sleep
                    Time to rest
Sir Loyal HeartOnce there was a princess
With red golden hair
Smart and able
She was quite fair

At two she was betrothed
Someday she'd be queen
But alas, her prince
He died at sixteen

The story does not end
This prince had a brother
And smitten with her beauty
This boy wanted no other

He made her his queen
He played his part
He was her young king
He was "Sir Loyal Heart"

Now fairy tales like this
Dark eyes can erase
When that loyal heart changes
For a new pretty face

The mistress took control
What power she wielded
The princess's throne lost
Her jewels sadly yielded

"Sir False Heart"
With tears she pleaded
His love had gone cold

"Noli me tangere, Caesar's I am" --> "Do not touch me, for Caesar's I am". Pulled from Thomas Wyatt's poem, "Whoso List to Hunt" where he speaks of a woman who is out of reach to him because someone greater has possession of her. It is believed that Wyatt was referring to Anne Boleyn.

Love this quote! You can almost feel Anne's arrogance through these sayings... what a poet, my God!

Almost wish Wyatt had written more poetry based on Anne.
