Theadora was a witch with glamor on her mind
Found under a plum bush, she was quite a find
She dressed in purple and lavender every day
Green? Red? Silver? She laughed. No way.
We always thought it was because of the plum bush you see.
It had taken care of her until she reached the age of three.
Nourished her and let her ease into the witch she was.
She calls all of the plants in the forest “sis, bro, and cuz”.
Day woke with the
choir of birdsong and a meadow
breeze, sweet as your kisses. What is
this joy that leaves me filled
with light, with laughter, with
the promise of forever as you crown me with golden poppies?
Our hands linked and
our tomorrows joined; my bouquet is a bundle of cornflowers.
Inspired by "How to Make it Snow" by Theodora Goss
Theodora and Eleanor were two different sisters.
Eleanor sat in the window with her face uncovered.
She was giggling, which brought our attention to her.
Theodora was hiding around the corner, covering her face.
“I am going to flirt with the one up front,” I told my friend.
“I saw her first,” he told me.
No one wants a shy hide-your-face kind of woman.
Least of all two pirates out for a lark.
All Good Sarah, yes we are meant to suffer at different levels by being
Born in special hardship places...be born an eskimo suffer the cold,
Why do u think we have pirates and con men in nigeria,?
Because of their bastard ways, a put over con man won't want to change,
I look for man like logic in our universe and think it's how it works.
As Ye sow so shall Ye reap, get resurrected on some **** heap.
When you get to pay for your crimes.
Theodora the harlot got rid of a Pope,
Put in her own in Constantinopal,
She didn't want to pay for her many bad crimes,
Reincarnation she cut out from the Christian doctrine,
Holy Roman,
Emperor Constantine did as he was told,
By the Emperors harlot ever so bold,
The Jews always looked for Elijahs return,
And John of the Baptist was he you will learn,
For Christ who has risen, said so.
Men were given total dominion
over all living things, and when
they subdued their enemy:
they were granted immortality!
Beside every great warrior of old,
there was a strong woman of humility,
who gave him a victorious sword;
and helped him change the course of history!
Emperess Theodora was one of them to show adversity;
when Noka's revolt broke out: she decided to stay,
while her hushand, Justinian, fled the city;
what an admirable act of feminity!
Beside every great warrior of old,
there seems to be a look of invincibility,
a defying moment to obtain glory;
and the cost for a golden crown is well-known!
Be the warrior of modern times, treatened by fear and fragility,
seek out the man you were destined to be;
trust that woman who posseses internal beauty,
and beside this warrior, her courage will guide you with dignity!
