Hers

This Heart is like a Lion
Punished through the years but still tameless
facing the world and the consequences 
Scarred but still beating unwinking
and even mended, refuses to surrender

This Heart is like a lion
And for a while, frozen, kept silence
As if waiting for this moment
Relentless, supported the action of the elements with courage
Witnessed the dance of the seasons with faith

And Then...

A street corner near the beach
A table on the sidewalk
A strange Coffee Shop
Innocent exchanges of words
A pool table
A tiny museum
A unknown bookstore

Wake up, brave lion

Because you are no longer mine

You are hers
