The Lion Roars

The lioness hums... The wafting inside my head, Whirling afloat, like a hurricane. I tell myself, The worst she can say, is no Perchance the lioness winks... I will offer my lonely heart to her. My roar will echo through heaven Whispers amongst the fools who doubt me... Daub within the townsmen. A folly frenzy flutters, lip to lip, ear to ear My palms dank, I starred at her across the room. She smiled and winked... Me, I was in awe, I was in love Towards her I walked, stopping two feet away... I then froze, She froze too... Like a time freeze, we both stood silent Slowly, we inched closer... And closer, and closer, still silent, until... Our lips touched, and we kissed I knew right then and there, This wasn't a case of happenstance. I knew, our love, was my destiny... The lion roars...
