The Path to Queendom:
I hid, four years, before the soldiers found me
pulled my auburn hair and dragged me to the palace with its parade of flesh, the pageantry of desire.
Now my pain gives me purpose. I stay by choice, because I will not be crushed nor forgotten. I come, cloaked in starlight, for such a time as this. No man can escape my beautiful vengeance. Even with only one stone at my throat, in a sea of jewels, yet I become the glittering moon, dazzling the whole throne room. I am made of silver. My blood is ancient and my ways are pure. When sunset descends, when shadows touch my powerful body, when your throat tightens with cravings for love, come to my banquets. Watch me bring the whole empire under my reign. I am done with hiding. I am ready, I am ready. And I am waiting. Nothing in this world is as dangerous as a patient woman. #grownostr #poetry
