A/N: Even though I am not a big fan of Anne Boleyn her execution always evokes sympathy in me for her tragic end and I was inspired to write this poem about her death.
May 19, 1536
stained with blood
like ink stains on parchment
stained with lies
Death has come to take innocent life
Atonment for sins against the Kings Majesty
Atonment for failure to keep a promise
on a platform of wood
Last words spoken steady
in courage,
in dignity
with lips that shall never move again
"Good Christian people, I am come hither to die",
Suferring will come to an end
kneeling upright
under Death's icy hand
One last haunted look
with blue eyes that shall never shine again
French steel
whispers through air
and the end is here.
May 19,1536
tragic end to the
tumultuous life of Anne Boleyn
