The Lionness

She swoops forward with presence Sidestepping only to amaze Her smile, an eclipse of dominance Beneath a shade of luminous grace A many songs I've written Depicting this sting I feel But none will come close to capture The way she makes my senses peel I gather my remains, split them She feels no sorrow, all but purity of heart her skin redeems my shadows and into warmth the day starts A woman can tangle your veins dance with your blood I still let her in, my atrocity begins But my sin compels me to drought the flood My mind drifts to a dream I've seen When her face lit my mind free Nights before when sleep disturbed The inner images of her sweetness berserk She sat and pat my head Waves of solid white comfort Slowly showered my dripping back And all the sweat resonated with sweet scent And all the nights rained with bliss And all my lanterns torched in flames Melted sugar breath to my lips "Honey I'm here now rest easy Let it all go when our eyes fly away Tomorrow I'm here too so don't you worry Hate when you're eyes take a shade of blurry"
