First came the ballgowns and the beheadings.
Six wives of Henry the eighth, and divorce or death were brought upon all but one...

If Love was a Garden
If love was a garden, I’d let it grow wild
Because what use is love that’s tamed?
There, the honeybees would be the messengers, passing letters of sweet nothings from the sun to the flower’s soft buds

Carefree Honeybee
Carefree Honeybee,
Don’t you see the hope you’ve given me?
I’ve climbed up and up and up but the end seems never closer, and I’m reaching reaching reaching for a dream that’s never there.

The First Light
In the First Light, I am stepping out into rays of golden sunlight, and I am floating through air that is buoyant with the songbird's melodies

That Girl
Sometimes I think that I’ll never be That Girl
The one who will twirl with a boy under a sea of stars
That fairy tale princess, who’s prince will always be waiting

The Moon's Lullaby
The stars were out that night
But it was the Moon who truly conquered the darkness.
She reached out a pale hand and wove together the soft strings of a lullaby
Pulling some deeper into the promise of sleep

A Letter for Everyone on YWP – One Last Time
Dear YWP,
The first time I wrote you a letter I was 13.
The second, 15.
I'm 18 now; how time flies, my lovely people.
And this is the last letter.

Eros' Arrow
When Eros shoots the heart of one
The piercing point of Beauty’s son
Borne of love and lust and loss
To pine for one’s a lover’s cost.

Tides
Drawn like a magnet,
the moon and the sea.
Water reaching for light,
stars shining in the night,
watching as the moon-
pulls away,
steering the water astray.
