Debbie Duncan Poet Free verse

Tudor Court

Oh, aren't they grand 
Love comes dancing 
hand in hand 

Bowing to each other
Fluttering lashes all around 
From the yoke of sensual bondage 

You leave me wanting more 
Needing drops of grace to save me
The lust of my youth still cries out 

With a touch of his fingers to skin
He would rekindle her lust even higher
With a twinkle in his eye, he bows to her

A garden I have, which, has never been touched
Though, he is a proud gardener I can tell
Therefore, lord, protect me from my thoughts 

For the bloody butcher, has me at his will 
I beg of you, keep my thoughts from me        
Let him not take it from me, as the others before me

Was watching "The Other Boleyn Girl" Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Erica Bana from 2008.  Someone might try casting king Henry with red hair since he was a redhead.
