My poetry

From my collection, Transformation , The True Tragic Tales, a series of poetry collections based on myths, legends and folklore.

To those who are tired,

Everything happens for a reason

Just wait

And see what is to come

Follow the path set out to you

Even if it's a terrible one

Witch

They call me a witch

For seeing love where everyone ignored it

The spell turned him inside out

His beauty disappeared with every word of cruelty

Only for the servant did he keep his cruelty secret

So I set them on a journey

To realise they were not for each other

Those who are too kind can never be with those who are too cruel

The only one who could break the spell

Is one of anger

A Spell

Slowly I turned green

With envy of those around me

I struck them with words

My jealousy overtaking me,

Why did they get to be happy?

Why did they get to love?

Why did they get to smile when they looked in the mirror?

Days

Life but never living

I smiled 

And I laughed

And I lied

And I danced

And I waited for hours to end

And then was forced to do it again

Smile, laugh, lie,

Dance, wait, cry

An endless loop,

Of my greatest torture

Art

I was an angel

Flying amongst peasants,

Dressed in the finest silks and the finest jewellery

And anything else that was the finest of its sort

I was perfection

And I hated it

I escaped the rumours

And the gossip

And the stares

And the suitors

And the dances

I escaped the fake happiness

I saw gold

Amongst water,

But as I reached it,

It wasn’t gold

But green

Henry

I loved him

Before everything

Before he changed,

Before her,

I loved him

I loved him, so my sadness nearly destroyed me

My heart grew indifferent

Trapped by its own grief,

As I watched him change

A Spoiled Princess

They say I am spoilt

Nothing but a pretty face

What else am I meant to be?

I am just a princess

With no other meaning,

Then to be a princess

Stare

I watched you stare 

When I was with you,

I watched you stare 

At the girl with no imperfections,

My every flaw was her beauty 

Everything I wasn’t

She was

Wall

He angered me so

A prince in the form of a monster

So I threw him away

Let him fall apart

And he became human

Three Bands

My love

The restrictions fell away

The sadness, the anger, the shame

It fell away

Because he

In all his beauty 

Was back

Marry Me

Marriage?

But love is not between us

But does it matter 

Because I am just 

A pretty face,

Happily Ever After

He loved her

For what?

For her anger?

For her beauty?

He loved her

But at least he was here 

White

I grow tired of the dullness of white

Must I be pure?

Must I be innocent?

No mind of my own

Seen not heard

Like a beautiful painting,

No

I want red

And I will get it

Even if my dress turns to black

Rings

This is what was meant to happen

This was the happily ever after

She healed me

So she must love me

We were written to be together

But her name isn’t mentioned

His was

Burn

I broke 

And you didn’t

You wished for me to be healed

But I couldn’t

So I burnt it all down

Before you made me whole again, 

Run

I watched

The confession of a love I will never have

But instead of a grand scene of desire

He had to run

So I ran with him

In tulles of white and diamonds, too great for me, I ran

From the prison, from my warden, from life

I ran

Us

The side characters of him

Ignored completely

Nameless

Forgotten

It was time for us to create our own story

Free spirits

I let him take it away from me

To drown in the sea

I let my diamonds fall,

The white to disappear

I let it all leave me

And took his hand anew

Jealousy

You wish for my tears 

Here they are

You wish for my anger 

Listen to me scream

You wish for my jealousy 

Watch me turn green, 

You wish for my acceptance 

Here it is 

But you wished for my happiness to stop 

And I simply refuse

Alone

I was always alone

But I thought they would make me feel less lonely

But then I was alone again

Wasn’t I so stupid to hope?

To trust and to love?

Or was it the best thing I could have done

Even if all I am left with is tears that had never shed

Shield

I saw his kindness everywhere

Her beauty in everyone

Should I be as kind to those who resemble those who hurt me

Then I was to them

It caused me to smile

When others laughed as they did

My cruelty fell

Like the armour, it was

Abandoned

You left me

I was young

I misunderstood

And I do not forgive you

My anger grows

But you left me

My family

My chosen family

Abandoned me,

For choices that were not mine

Fate

My cruelty is leaving me

I understand now

I loved you

And you loved me

But with every kiss,

I was poisoning you with whispers of darkness

Empty shell

We live together in peace

With nothing but smiles

And friendship

Love went from us

Slowly but surely

All we have is safety

But I wanted red

Passion

Surrounded by swords,

We were found

Surrounded by anger,

They let me fall

But he came screaming

To pick me up

Iron bands

Now we stood

In our rightful places

Repeating the day, we all fell apart

But this time he was kind

And she was humble

And I was strong
