Notes About The Poem

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...
