The Lion King

What has made

this lioness of

the high stars

above-

queen of the

great safari -

cower on

rough,

quaking knees,

before her

mighty throne?

 

I blame his

brown,

dripping

eyes

that could

so easily

****** away

her roar,

 

And the

silken sweet way

he plays his

magic flute

as if to

charm

the great

Black Mamba.

 

He jests

with a heart

so full and

merry,

 

So light

upon his feet,

 

I'm to my own,

before I know it,

 

My heart beating

to his beat.

 

He's found a power

more mighty

than pride,

more great

than power

itself,

 

I am on my feet

and to my knees,

 

Bless Me.

 

 

And, You -

 

For allowing me

favour.

Notes

"When a lioness reigns, and a lion king approaches."

Two leos, in one house.

Clicks and clashes, all about - and, love.

Sweet, unabashed love.
