Majestic Beauty Waits For Prey

magestic ebony lion
all powerful and masterful
intimidating without trying
fearless and terrifyingly powerful

ebony beauty with scraggly teeth
massive mane and giant claws
striking amber eyes, 
and nose built for hunting

dangerous and stealthy
strikingly handsome
takes no prisoners, makes no apologies

magestic ebony lion,
devours prey beautifully, in big gulps
wise amber eyes, waiting, intimidating me in all ways possible.

I saw a photo of a gorgeous black lion, and I could not resist turning him into a poem.
